How He Loves Us
Aug 26th
With thanks to Dave and Alex, I have discovered such a simple song, but one that does such a wonderful job at stating the truth. Check it out…
Usually, I’m not a fan of using video clips over music to produce a music video, but this one just tears me apart.
Check out these lyrics:
Whoa! How He loves us/Whoa! How He loves us/Whoa! How He loves.
I love this.
It’s not “Oh…How He loves us.”
It’s not “Oh, yea…How He loves us.”
It’s “WHOA! How He loves us.”
Whoa. An awesome term. Even more powerful than wow.
Do I respond like that when I realize how much Christ loves me?
All to often, it’s more like “yea…he loves me.”
“WHOA! How He loves us.”
Despite our sin.
“WHOA! How He loves us.”
Despite our shortcomings.
“WHOA! How He loves us.”
Despite our disagreements.
“WHOA! How He loves us.”
Are you at that point where you are blown away by his love?
“WHOA! How He loves us.”
He loves us.
WHOA.
Let us all get to the point where we can be blown away by his love.
Let us never forget the pain and suffering that our Lord and Savior went through to give us the freedom from sin.
May we (on this side of heaven) daily get to a point where we all shout:
“WHOA! How He loves us.”
Free Porn Show
May 21st
According to Anne Jackson (Flowerdust or @Flowerdust), her statistics show that whenever she mentions “porn” or “boobies” her traffic increases a lot.
I have never used either of those words (until now), so I can’t really back that up.
Anyway, Mike Foster, founder of XXXChurch and Anne Jackson recently had the opportunity to speak at Christian Community Church in “Chicago to about 600 high schoolers & junior high students (AND their parents….) about porn, sex, and we even threw out words like “homoeroticism” and “masturbation” and “boobs”…and there may have been talk about cows mating as well.”
Christian Community Church was kind enough to record it.
Below is the video:
What do you think?
How big of an issue do you think pornogrophy in the church is today?
For those of you that live around Delaware, OH, would you be interested in having them come?
Anyone have any other thoughts?
When I go down…
May 7th
Watch this vide and the lyrics within:
“I’ve thrown away, so many things that could’ve been much more
“When I go down/I go down hard/And I take everything I’ve learned/And teach myself some disregard/When I go down/It hurts to hit rock bottom/And of the things that got me there/I think if only I had fought them”
“Any control I thought I had/Just slips right through my hands”
“Yet you love me/And that consumes me/And I’ll stand up again/And do so willingly”
“And from my lips/The words I choose to say/Seem Pathetic/But it’s a fallen man’s praise/Because I love You/Oh God, I love You”
“When I go down/I lift my eyes to You/I won’t look very far/Cause You’ll be there/With open arms/To lift me up again/To lift me up again”
Wow.
I love that song.
Basically, that’s how I feel right now.
My last post (Am I a bad sponsor?), makes me really feel this song.
I just need to lifted up again.
But…
…It hurts.
I feel like Paul in Romans 7:15-25
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[a] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
21So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. 24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
I do what I don’t want to, but I know it’s wrong.
“For in my inner being, I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members”
God,
I want to honor you with my life.
Take away my sinful desires.
I don’t wanna go down anymore.
I want to honor you with my life, not disappoint you.
Please, Father, please.
Your unworthy son,
Zach
Love Song
Feb 5th
Here’s another song I’ve been feeling lately…
He’s more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
as close a heartbeat or a song on our lips
someday we’ll trust Him and learn how to see Him
someday He’ll call us and we will come running
and fall in his arms and the tears will fall down and we’ll pray
I want to be close.
I want that day to be today.
I want to trust Him today.
I want to see Him today.
I want Him to call me, so that I can come running.
Maybe He is already calling me, but I just can’t hear him.
Maybe He is calling me, but I don’t wanna run.
I want that…today!
