The challenge of the bible is to finish strong; The goal is not to become a Christian, but to die a Christian. That's the wisdom Don Splitt leaves us as he and Jennifer prepare to move on from Chicago. He warns us from 1 Corinthians 1:17-20 to follow God's wisdom and not the wisdom of the world, or we may find the power of the cross diminishing in our lives. He uses the example of Uzzah in 2 Samuel 6 to show us that when we become too comfortable with God, obedience to God can become optional. Don also warns us, through 2 Corinthians 1:8, against the temptation to rely on our own strength reminds us that God leads us purposely into situations where we must rely on His strength. Finally, he encourages us through 2 Corinthians 4:16-17 that our troubles are light and momentary and ultimately achieve for us an eternal glory in heaven. Jennifer Splitt also shares a few parting thoughts to encourage us in our walk with Christ as well.

We have the same call, but everyone has a unique perspective on that call.  Our Chicago vision is designed to be a shared framework within which each disciple can joyfully fulfill and live out God's call to worship and serve him alongside our brothers and sisters.  But to do that, we must listen, and after listening, we must act according to what we've heard.  Jeff delves into the story of Balaam, who was "allowed" to go do what he wanted--but only after rejecting what God had already made clear to him!  He also likens worries and wealth to a massive freight train in our lives that threatens to drown out the important things God is saying to us.
