I saw it last night.

David Platt has led his church, Brookhills, to host an event called Secret Church. Here’s what the site says about it:

When we think of “church” in America, we think of going to meet at a building, singing, praying and hearing a message from a Pastor or teacher. But in many places around the world, “church” meets in a home, an apartment, even in secret. These small groups of Christ-followers often meet for many hours in study, prayer and fellowship, as it is dangerous to travel to “church” and they want to make the most of their time together.

Secret Church is our “house church,” where we meet periodically for an intense time of Bible study–lasting 4-6 hours–and prayer for our persecuted brothers and sisters across the globe. This is not for the uncommitted or faint at heart. But if you desire to know God more deeply through His Word, and know His Church more fully around the world, then please join us for Secret Church.

David led us all in a 5-hour study of the Doctrine of God. We had a 74-page booklet that we went through that detailed the awesome attributes and character of our holy God. It was powerful to be part of the event and see students eating it up.

What does that say about a generation of church folks that can hardly tolerate a sermon longer than 20 minutes? And what does it say about the amount of doctrine that folks can possibly know? Perhaps are churching are starving for God’s Word.

You may recall my incredible experience at National Collegiate Week in beautiful Glorieta, New Mexico at this time last year. This morning, Jeremy and I are heading out for this year’s event – a week of worship, learning, fellowship and God-exalting fun with some of the dynamic believers of the universities of the world.

It promises to be a wonderful encounter with the lineup of Platt and the Pearl Merchant Band. We’ll both keep you posted!
