In my 2nd year at Charis, I was listening to Ryan teach, yet again, about the cross of Jesus. I had heard Ryan teach now for more than a year. But this particular day, as I was listening and reading the scriptures up on the screen, the revelation washed over me like a flood -- that God's word, the words that Ryan spoke, were life itself! That nothing else in this world was real life. That only the truth of Jesus' work on the cross was real life, and it was this truth that sets me, and believers, free. Saturday, at the Saint's Gathering, I experienced it again hearing Ryan preach the Gospel. This is our only true reality. Amen!
