As one of many CrossPoint Women, I too was blessed by Dr. Hughes. What an amazing GOD thing that he would come to our little Argo Church. Pretty much all of your points hit it for me. The one that didn’t is the ONE that Jason has mentioned over and over and over: “…Men you are the man of the house, be the man!” As a single Mom, it means a lot to me that my 16 year old little boy could take this thought – and so much more from the weekend – to heart.

It was an amazing weekend! The single question I gleaned from this weekend and Dr. Hughes is this, do people seem to like me so much because they see Jesus or because the don’t? With the diluted nature of Christianity in society today it is far too easy to make people comfortable instead of uncomfortable. We must learn to understand the life and death nature of who we represent…or don’t! We must learn to see the lost with that urgency all the while maintaining a humble and sensitive spirit such as Dr. Hughes has. Thank you for this weekend Pastor, I am already looking forward to next year’s weekend!
Soli Deo Gloria!

Amazing weekend! That last session on Saturday put me over the top. I had two things that God really spoke to me about this weekend and they are probably numbered 1 and 1a for me. #1 The most important thing for me is to become more disciplined for the purpose of Godliness. #1a When Dr. Hughes began to speak Saturday about people letting God be their Father and not letting the church be their mother really impacted me. One because I had never heard that thought before and two because when you begin to think of the church being a mother to it’s members it really puts things into perspective. Mothers are designed by God to be the most caring, understanding, intuitive, loving people of His creation. They know when to say it, when not to say it, and how to say what they are trying to communicate. With pure motives and a heart that has their childrens best interest at heart. We would do well at Crosspoint to filter everything we do as a Church, to ask the question of ourselves… What would a mother do? and I believe we would raise better Kingdom minded (children)church members.
