A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of joining our volunteer and former summer team members, Shane Hamstra and Jeff Moore at the "Shepherd's Conference" - a ministry conference in Southern CA. The theme for this year's conference was "Truth Triumphs". As several keynote speakers presented various aspects of Biblical Truth, each came back to the truth of the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and how God's Word IS trustworthy TRUTH. We are to live in obedience to God's Word - equipped and empowered by it; persistently praying and living in victory through it; and boldly proclaiming it as our Hope, Strength and objective because of the love of Christ and HIS sacrifice on Calvary.
Songs sung at conference were bringing praise and worship to our Redeemer. At the final session of the conference, the Grace Community Church choir and orchestra presented Handel’s “Worthy is the Lamb” (taken from Revelation 5) which says, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, and hath redeemed us to God by His blood, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. …Forever and ever. Amen”
This incredible presentation was then followed by the song “Is He Worthy?” where over 5000 men in one room affirmed YES! – HE is Worthy!
As an organization, our desire, as we provide free Bible training resources through https://sveq.org and serve through encouragement and technical support, is to be pointing to the ONE and ONLY source of truth on this earth - our Lord Jesus Christ as found in HIS written Word - the BIBLE. YES- He IS Worthy! Indeed, as we remember what He has done for us through this coming week of Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday - He is the only one worthy of our praise throughout eternity for what He did to restore fallen human beings' relationship with a Holy God. We look forward to His coming return when we can proclaim with all the redeemed, the triumphant truth - that HE, alone, is worthy!
