Call. Worship. How?

Ok, well the verses that follow those at the end of Romans 11 come in … you guessed it, Romans 12, which seem to fall perfectly in line with what I wrote about from Romans 11:33-36. Listen to this:
[Romans 12:1-2] So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary [...]

Oh You Bring – Hillsong United

One of my favs from the new Hillsong United CD, Across the Earth – Tear down the Walls. Sorry nothing to watch here, but the song is great. It’s just a song of worship that expresses the power of God in our lives and our simple response to our very beautiful, [...]

worship + justice

my dreams

I was out with some girlfriends last night and I just happened to mention how as a girl I never really dreamt of the whole wedding thing. I never thought about getting married until it happened. I never really thought about having kids until it happened.
I can honestly tell you today that I am [...]

Some good news…

Come and listen, all you who fear God. Let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. But God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. [...]

7 days to live…

“What would you do differently if you only had 7 days left to live?” That was the question that I was asked earlier this week. I had no idea how to answer it and all week long I pondered it.
Gosh, 7 days left to live – I knew my answer should have been extravagant, elaborate [...]

worship in the pain

It was good for me to be afflicted, so that I could learn Your statutes. [Psalm 119:71]
You’ve gotta read Psalm 119. If you ever think you’ve got it bad, take a journey through Psalms, or through any other book of the Bible, and if that’s not enough, take the time to listen to someone else’s [...]

[Dwell]

I woke up to this song playing on Cliff’s ipod a few weeks ago and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head. I haven’t stopped singing it.
It was around 3am and it was actually the song that woke me, rather than me actually *wanting* to get up [...]

Flee temptation…run to God

I was reading Psalm 32 this morning and I discovered another reason why I love God’s presence so much. I know that being near God, with Him, dwelling on Him – with Him, worshiping Him is the opposite of sin. When we spend time chasing God, we find ourselves running in the opposite direction of [...]

uh, right… worship – it’s not about me

Well, the weekend is over and 5 services later I’m reminded [once again] that everything is just simply not about me….
Our family has been quite ill for the past several weeks. My son had Scarlet Fever [yeah, I've seen 'Little Women' too and I didn't think that Scarlet Fever was still around either], [...]
