G3 SUMMIT
I Samuel 3:17 says, "What is the word that the Lord has said to you?"Come. Away.
This is what we all long for, a word from the Lord. Do you yearn for the gift of dedicated time to focus on Him so that you can hear from Him in a mighty and personal way? Come and seek the Lord and find out what the Lord has for you!
A Secluded Place.
Rest. A While.
“Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest for a while.” Mark 6:31

“Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest for a while.” Mark 6:31
I recently read a book by Margaret Feinberg entitled, “The Organic God.” In it she writes about this Scripture:
“Within the context of this chapter, Jesus is speaking to the disciples after they learned that their friend John the Baptist had been slaughtered, but within the context of my own life, it’s as if Jesus is issuing a personally engraved invitation to me.”
Come. Away. A Secluded Place. Rest. A While.
What a challenge this was for me. Feinberg made me stop, look at each word and see the individual meaning in each word. I felt the Holy Spirit calling me, as Feinberg put it, “ to leave my frantic busyness and move toward a deeper relationship with God.”
It sure is a challenge to slow down and take some much needed alone time. She reminds you and I to “close our eyes to the immediate demands of life in order to get a better view of the eternal. “
This, simply put, is what the G3 Summit is all about. This year in particular the schedule for the weekend is more loose, more unstructured, to allow you a lot more individual alone time to sleep, to be quiet, to study the Word at your own pace, to spend time with God. I agree with Feinberg that “though the invitation in Mark 6:31 doesn’t say how long to stay, I know from experience that resting will be well worth my while.”
Come. Away. A Secluded Place. Rest. A While.
