SPOTLIGHT: Dave’s Banquet Exhortation

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

The first segment of this episode of Spotlight features remarks made by IFI’s Executive Director David Smith at the annual banquet. The second segment features a Q & A time with Eric Metaxas. You will love how he answers some pressing questions from notable Illinois pastors.

Though our present situation in Illinois celebrates radical abortion policies, an “untenable” immigration crisis, foolish gender confusion and sex-education in our government schools, Dave has encouraging words for his audience:

“Be encouraged. God has called us to this time and for a purpose. We have an amazing opportunity to contrast the dark of this world in a way that we haven’t had in the recent past. Moreover, the Great Commission has not been repealed.

We still have an obligation to obey the call to make disciples of all nations and to teach them to observe all things that Jesus commands us to… the passage of Scripture in Matthew 28 ends with Jesus promising, ‘And lo, I am with you always even to the end of the age.’… We serve a God who will equip us and empower us to pull off what He calls us to do. “

This is an episode that will uplift and encourage your heart in the triumph of Christ.
