Pastor Francis Chan, Tuesday evening’s keynote speaker, gave an afternoon seminar encouraging men and women in ministry to not loose heart despite America’s hostility to the Truth. “Who are the people who do amazing things in this Book?” he asked, holding up the Bible. “It’s not the people with the strategy or the plan. It’s the people who know Him.”
He exhorted those in the crowded ballroom to “be strong, confident, and courageous,” noting that in preaching from the Word, ministers will “either be offensive or deceptive—because this is an offensive Book.”
“I want you to get your life back, your soul back…Go back to the time when you just had this edge,” he said. “Sometimes we can worship accomplishment—we can worship revival—rather than worshiping Jesus and recognizing what an honor we have…just to be His ambassadors.”
Pastor Chan continued his ministry to the Alliance family in the evening service, where he spoke from the heart about the love of our heavenly Father.
