I still think it's sad. Because IF conference really is about raising all this money - that's got to break God's heart. I always thought it was about sharing the Gospel, rejoicing with fellow believers and spending time in the presence of the Lord. But then again, I was never privileged to go to a conference, so I probably have been wrong all along.
Renda, I don't want you to think that I'm arguing with you. I have the highest respect for you.

You can argue with me, but I don't feel that you are.
It's not ALL that conference is about, but yes - they are there to raise money, make money (selling books), being with fellow believers, taking care of business, having church, etc.
