Fire Fall

Tonight I finally got an opportunity to go to Fire Fall and it was amazing. I got a chance to finally hear the great Erwin Mcmanus speak and he is truly an amazing speaker. Fire Fall started with worship and that was really awesome. This years Fire Fall was a little different than the ones I've attended in the past, this year I think the presentation as a whole was more in-depth, the theme of Fire Fall was all throughout the school and as you walk to the gymnasium, everything said " What If?" and the pool was used to baptize the people whom decided to take that step. Also there was a section that was dedicated for people to journal, there was another section for the students to tell their stories in front of the camera, and also there was a section to post your dreams.
Erwin Mcmanus style of preaching is a little different than many other preachers I've heard in the past, he reminds me so much of Roosevelt Hunter, a great preacher that used to preach at Southeastern, but recently passed in August of this year. But they have so much in common, their tones, their ability to keep the audience interested, and their story telling abilities. Mcmanus told this story about how his son went to a Christian Camp one year and after returning from this camp, he was tucking him into bed and after praying Mcmanus turned off the light and was about to go out, but his son got scared and told him to leave the light on, long story short, his son was scared from the stories about demons that was told to him at camp, so he asked Mcmanus to prat that God would keep him safe, but Mcmanus said no, he will pray that he God makes him so intimidating that when he walks into a room all the demons will flea. what I got from that story is that so many times we ask God to get rid of our obstacles and our challenges, when we really should be asking God for strength to be able to face these obstacles and challenges so when they come again next time, we are already prepared.
