I had the privilege of returning to IWU for Summit. I have always loved Summit. What started out as a source of a "spiritual high" is now a source of encouragement.
Wherever I'm at in my walk with God, the speaker says exactly what I need to hear. This leads to conviction and to evaluate where I need to go in Him. Last night he talked about meaningful relationships and how we are meant to live in community with others. He also gave an illustration of marbles and grapes. "Marbles" symbolize the people who tend to scatter and isolate themselves when they've been hurt, betrayed, etc. in their relationships. "Grapes" symbolize the people who tend to develop deeper connections with others amidst difficulty, pain, hard times.
Today he spoke on sexual purity. Sex is God's idea. What begins in the mind, the body will eventually follow. I was convicted by that because I know what I think about needs to be daily surrendered to the things of God, not worldly things.
