2520, 301 and 1

The Passion Movement is gaining momentum as more and more of us are seeking to leverage our moments on earth for His fame. While everyone spends their hours and days making much of something, a generation is emerging with a desire to make much of the One who truly should be made much of.

More than events, our large gatherings are a touch point for people with a similar heartbeat for the supremacy of Christ and His renown...a generation seeking to make Him known to all people by any means possible. It's something about that pure core that make Passion gatherings what they are, Godward moments fueling Godward lives.

Nashville rocked us and we don't know what Atlanta will hold. What we do know is that you want to be there! Our marketing is not all that slick or extensive (almost nil at this point), yet 2520 of you have already staked your place at Passion 07. In an e-mail from a mom last week she told us her son got Passion 07 for his birthday. Apparently, it's all he asked for. So, he's now one of the 2520... which is 520 more than all those gathered at our first national conference in 1997.

So when we do the math [College students = last minute planners + Passion 07 is next January + 2520 are registered on 3/6] we know something special is happening and we celebrate. Yet, there is a more important number to consider. 301. Three hundred and one. The number of days between now and the opening session of Passion 07. Yep, 301 Days! And these 301 days will be the ones that show what the movement is all about... that will validate what happened in Nashville as a God-event and not just a people-event. 301 days for the world to see that He is as satisfying as we say He is.

God can do more in 24 hours than we can ask or imagine. In one day God can change a nation. What can He do through a wave of yielded hearts in 301 x 24 hours? Looking ahead is not wrong at all. Unless it cause us to miss today. Like James reminds us, "Now listen, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city....' Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, 'If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that.'" James 4:13-15.

We're working full speed on Passion 07 today (and it looks like if you want to join us you'll need to figure that out sooner, rather than later!), but by His grace let's make much of Him while we can...today!

Embracing with much joy 2520, 301 and 1.
