You may be asking, how did God select it? The biggest and most obvious was when they got down to the last 5, only 4 had been chosen, but they needed 5 for research. The name "cru" was not one of the 4 and was added to make 5. No one believed it was the right name, but they needed 5 names. After all the praying, researching, surveying, and all the stuff marketing people are supposed to do, "cru" was the overwhelmingly chosen. So, once again, did CCC pick the name, no, GOD did.So, now that we have that out of the way, the best part of the day was our session with Francis Chan. What a man of God is all I can say. We started the day with 30 min of praise and worship. Hearing 5,000 people praising God together is only an earthly example of what we will experience in heaven. Was it emotional? You bet.
Then it was Francis Chan's turn. Here are the highlights:
Don't let people talk us out of what God wants us to do
There is power & purity in His book through the Holy Spirit
Is Jesus the most important thing in my life or is He my life? Rev. 3
It is not about mustering up more commitment, it is about being more yielded to Jesus.
This was followed with about a half hour of prayer and confession, individually and in small groups, which ended in more praise and worship and ultimately singing 'Holy, Holy, Holy'. Imagine hearing 5,000 people singing that! It doesn't get much better here on earth.
The remainder of the day, we recorded our FamilyLife tent to send a clip back to Little Rock for the staff there to see, listened to Josh McDowell be 'frank' with teens and parents about all the consequences of intimacy before marriage. Twenty-five possible diseases that can be transmitted and only four have a cure. This is worse than AIDS and HIV, and the media is pushing it under the rug.
More pictures tomorrow.
