1989 — Fourth Annual Conf.

FORMED BY THE WORD

June 22-25, 1989

Geneva College, Beaver Falls, PA

How do we allow God to transform us by the renewal of our minds? That's a common question for today's Christian and for today's Church. This conference is designed to teach practical skills for just that purpose.

Three things are implied in the title, Formed by the Word. The first is that "the Word" is principally the word made flesh, Jesus. Secondly, "the Word" is also the word written, the Holy Scriptures, the Word of God. Thirdly, Christian formation is something that God works in us. He forms us and conforms us into the image of Jesus his Son. Just as a conversion is a work of the Holy Spirit, so is our sanctification a work of the Holy Spirit. He is the one who is able to bring to completing the good work that was begun in us.

So, this conference is about a prayerful way to read the Scriptures and a way to pray throughout the day so that we can put ourselves in the place of letting God form us, individually and corporately, in Christ.
