Yeshua - Will Reagan and United Pursuit Band


Praise the One who has saved me from death
He is God, He is good, He is Jesus

Praise the One who has saved me from death
He is God, He is good, He is Jesus

Yeshua I love You

You are God, You are good, You are Jesus
Tonight while sitting out on the porch listening to the rain I came to the realization that I did not love Christ.  I was thankful for his sacrifice because it made the way for me to have a relationship with my Creator and Father. But thankful is not the response or relationship I am to have with Christ.  I am suppose to and on my own will Love my Messiah for his sacrifice.  Death on the Cross is a though that has become dullen'd by my time in Church and around Christians during my life.  Dead on the Cross was the biggest act of Love that this world have ever seen and ever will see and how could I not love the person who Died for Me.  HOW COULD I NOT LOVE CHRIST!!  After doing some writing and reflecting on John 13:34-35 I just started listening to this song over and over again.  My prayer for this world is that we could have our minds blown by the Love of our Messiah and run to him and commit our lives to Loving him.  When we Love him with our entire being than we are going to Love one another because his Love will overwhelm us and compel us to Love those we don't want to Love.  In my case, over and over again, I find myself not being able to Love homosexuals.  For some reason I just don't!  But if I let the Love of Christ wash me of my sin than I am sure to have a heart that Loves Homosexuals deeply.  This Love should break political boundaries, religious boundaries, social conceptions and cause me to Love people that I would never have Loved before knowing Christ.  If we know Christ than Love should being flowing from every pore in my body.  I want for when people see followers of Christ to say, "The people who Love are coming"!


All is Great in the Lavished Love of Christ

Alleluia - Jesus Culture with Martin Smith

Once again worship last night was Glorious!  Had a great day just chilling with my SDP folks from last summer, went up the river and just talked about the past season of life and where the Lord is leading us into.  Exciting and scary stuff but it was great to be back with some awesome people who speak some potent truth.   Last night during worship was one of many firsts...  For the first time in a long time I actually stood while I sang, for the first time in a long time I was singing from a place of Joy, for the first time in a long time I did not care how I worshiped my Lord I just worshiped.  Well its not like these things have not happened ever in my life, but I just felt so much peace during worship.  So I decided to throw the song that we just repeated for a long while up here, mainly cause I did not know the name so I was looking it up and now I am pumped, gotta buy this album!   All the angels cry out, Holy is the Lord God ...

Rise Again - Needtobreathe

I have been reading a book about the arts and Christians role in creating culture.  Steve Turner, the author, asserts a major critique that modern Christian art does not speak about real life.  The art created does not sound genuine or have any ties to real life that people outside the faith can connect with.  While reading the book I listened through this album and I think that this song does a great job of breaking the mold.  The members of Needtobreathe are all outspoken followers of Jesus but very little of the art that they produce mentions Jesus or Christianity at all.  Instead they craft creative music, written from places of pain and joy.   "Rise Again"  steps through pain that occurs in life as we see relationships stretched and torn.  The bitterness of broken hearts and friendships is then contrasted with the truth that we will get up from this pain and rise again.   "I can see us moving on, I can feel that coming on strong", the j...

Stones Under Rushing Water - Needtobreathe

Last weekend was the Big-Little retreat, where all of the associates and their Big Brothers bond over a weekend together.  I went this semester because I love camping and I am on the committee that planned the event.  On Friday night us brothers when for a hike down in Cloudland Canyon.  It was intensely dark but still an amazing sight of nature while its masked by night.  We found a waterfall that turned out to be great for an early morning worship time on Saturday.  We had some great conversation as we walked talking about life.  I loved being away from Tech for just two days and being at a place where the stresses of school could not effect me in the slightest. Once people started to head back to the cabin Borsch and I just stayed behind for some time in thought and prayer.  It was utterly amazing, just looking out into the canyon when I could not see a thing.  Yesterday I was thinking about this and I am not sure if t...
