Last night’s vtONE worship event was awesome. God was there, people were excited, and I feel that people left challenged. Even though we were probably the least prepared we had been in several events, God provided and things came together. The night opened up with Isaac (Chi Alpha campus minister) leading two acoustic sets that […]
Interesting thought that I’ve felt is true in my life this morning from John. He writes: There is a very interesting line in Psalm 37. It reads, “Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart.” A lot of people interpret this verse incorrectly. They say that as long […]
I feel like God is getting ready to do something huge here, and I’m excited. It’s both intimidating and encouraging, but today especially, I’ve felt very encouraged by the people around me. Special shout outs (in order of my primary interaction with them) to Josh, the vtONE team, Isaac, Sno, and Michael. You guys rock. […]
I just got my Passion: Everything Glorious CD in the mail today. I’ve already listened to the whole thing, and it’s like being back there. Tracks that I especially like include How Marvelous (Chris Tomlin), We Are Yours (Charlie Hall), Everything Glorious (David Crowder*Band), and Our God Reigns (Chris Tomlin & Matt Redman). I especially […]
I’m one of the main contributors on a new blog about vtONE, found at http://www.vt-one.com/. Leading up to the vtONE worship event next Saturday, I am blogging about the four themes of vtONE: repentance, prayer, worship, unity. Notice the new order. I believe those four themes are a process. To be ready to do any […]
Just a simple request for you to pray for me. I have several big things going on right now–I’m in over my head, getting spiritually attacked, and I am in need of God’s assistance. Please pray for strength and endurance–this next week is going to be an interesting one. I know that God will come […]
One of the illustrations frequently used in the Bible is of sheep. Sheep are very dependent creatures. They have a symbiotic relationship with people, where the sheep rely on the shepherd for protection. In return, the shepherds get wool and food from the sheep. It’s this interdependence that makes sheep a perfect metaphor for God’s […]
Stop asking God to bless what you’re doing. Find out what God’s doing. It’s already blessed. – A close friend of U2’s Bono Right on.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, […]
