May you and your church discover the extreme bandwidth of God’s grace through Christian
Conferencing. And through God’s grace,may it be so. Amen.

We live in unprecedented times. Never before in humanity’s history has so much information been available instantaneously to so many people living on the earth. This growth of access and data volume means that by next year, the amount of information being transmitted through mobile devices alone will be the equivalent of every man, woman, and child on Earth sending 1,000 text messages every second. I don’t know what portion of all that data exchange involves content pertaining to matters of the Christian faith, but I do know there are books, sermons, worship services, prayers, studies, videos,and blogs available in mind numbing quantities – all of which can be delivered toone’s phone, tablet or computer in no time at all. There’s no question that the air is thick with our data, even data that relates to matters of faith – the questions that are far more significant are those that ask how well are we actually communicating with one another, encouraging each other, learning and growing in our discipleship with one another. How well are we aligning our lives with God’s means of grace that’s expressed through our gathering together - this experience that John Wesley called, Christian Conference?
