Changed by Your Love As I Worship You

~ WORSHIP: Desperation Band, READY NOW

~ SELFISHLY AMBITIOUS CHURCH... almost thou persuadest me to turn my back on God... but when I read his Word, I remember that you are not him.. even though you call yourself by his name.

~ WORSHIP: Kevin Prosch, HARP IN MY HEART

~ Prosch will always be one of my very favorite ppl that lead us into worship of our God... I so desperately miss those days when there was freedom in the church. No one had to declare it, no one had to make a show about 'breaking down the walls' because it was the heart of the ppl as the Spirit was leading. But leaders and church corps get that nervous Pharisee twitch when the spotlight moves off of them, and suddenly creativity is micro-managed and smothered to death. The creative spirit is one of freedom, freedom to choose to be accountable or to be stupid.. and to face the discipline of God for our choices. The baby was thrown out of the church with the bath water. And now they wonder why there is no new life in their pews.

~ Ironically, all the seeker friendly and "cutting edge" churches from back in the day have become everything they tore down and raged against... and those they call prophets are mostly attention whores and narcissistic over-fed infants... Difficult days are coming, and soon... God help us if we don't seek the leading of his spirit to find our identity in him again. The Church has no idea who she is anymore, she has chased every wind and wild fire blowing through and spent no time at the feet of Christ in daily repentance and cleansing and instruction in his Word. If it's not fun, the people of God aren't interested.

~ Don't stop going to church.. if God was willing to save a city because of one good man that was in it.. you may be the door of salvation that Christ will work through to bring life back to his ppl... are you up for the challenge.. not to be a pawn in a man made system but to stand your ground in the pew and in the altar to invite Christ to rule and reign in that place. Be in church somewhere as often as you are able, with a zeal and a passion to claim your one spot for Christ... if we all begin to do that one by one.. just see what happens ♥

~ No one said it was an easy thing.. this cursed earth is not heaven, it's not time for Paradise just yet... that day is coming, but first we gotta finish this spiritual war thing... sin and selfishness are gonna burn in a devil's hell forever.. and if ppl don't choose to let go of them, that sin and selfishness will drag them to hell. That's the choice each of us faces. The Gospel is the good news that Christ has made a way to free us from that sin and selfishness. We are not gods, but we are God's children. We need to stop being so full of ourselves and demanding our own way.

~ "I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound^[a] teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to allwho have loved his appearing."  (2 Timothy 4)

~ WORSHIP: Duncan Bouwer, SOMETHING HAPPENS

~ It's easy to call it quits and die... but are you willing to die daily to everything your body and social circles and the world waves in front of you and fills your senses with, that you crave, that you are weak to resist... dying daily is the real challenge.. the real mark of a man.. true character.. putting God and the well being of others ahead of our selfish desires. 

Die daily.
