Men.
In efficacious grace we are not merely passive, nor yet does God do some and we do the rest. But God does all, and we do all. God produces all, we act all. For that is what produces, viz. our own acts. God is the only proper author and fountain; we only are the proper actors. We are in different respects, wholly passive and wholly active.
-Jonathan Edwards
The goal of the Christian life is to be restored to God’s likeness, to be holy as God is holy, to be like Christ in character. It is not primarily to have direct experiences of the spirit or to become a kind of spiritual athlete.
-Jerram Barrs and Ranald MacCaulay

Gentlemen,
Once again let me thank you and honor you for committing a good chunk of your weekend to this conference. I think that you will be very glad you made this decision. I want to remind you that—while there are 2 great meals tomorrow–there is none tonight. EAT BEFORE YOU ARRIVE!
Also, if you haven’t paid the registration fee yet, just bring $40 (cash or check) tonight. Or you can pay online.
Guys, I’m grateful for you and look forward to seeing you tonight.
Rob
