Chris Tomlin – Indescribable
It is a song that tries to describe the greatness of God and yet seems so inadequate. I guess that this is irony of the title. I was at a breakfast for the BGEA and this song was sung as one of the worship songs. Which is great, because I love the song, it describes God as indescribable, uncontainable, all-powerful, untamable and unchanging. Reminding us all we do not serve a little god who we understand and control. How big is our God? Tomlin says, “You placed the stars in the sky and you know them by name.” There is a line in this song that really hit me. “You see the depths of my heart and you love me the same.” This all-powerful God, who designed the world out of nothing, takes the time to look into my heart. He takes the time to get to know me. How many people really know you? I mean how many really know who you are and what you are thinking? Besides my wife how many have any interest in what I am thinking and feeling. My wife and I are coming up on 10 years of marriage and yes I think she can read my mind. She knows my fears and my weaknesses and still loves me. She has taken the time to know me. God has gotten to know me, he truly cares about me but here is the most indescribable thing. God sees into my heart and still loves me. He knows my thoughts, he sees what I do and hears what I say and yet his love for me doesn’t change. This is what makes God truly indescribable. His love is more incredible than I could ever understand. I guess this is why John in 1 John 4, tells us a couple times that “GOD IS LOVE”. His love is uncontainable.

STORE WARS

If you love Star Wars you will love this. These guys, from Free Range Studios, take a mind numbing subject like organically grown food vs. the common produce we have today and make it interesting. I know that the next time, I go to the store I am going to think about buying more organic. I love how at the end they blew up the melon, but more importantly how they involved the viewer to get out and make a difference. They realize that their success is changing one person’s mind at a time. I know that there is a Spiritual parallel here; oh I’ll just let you figure it out.

Is it in you?


I was feeling a little sluggish this morning so I treated myself to a grande no-fat latte, and all I can say is that is good coffee. See I am a 1 - 2 cup a day guy and usually I will drink the stuff that we make at work. Which is best described as liquid brown stuff. Hey I am not blaming anyone, but when you buy Folgers, you buy disgusting coffee, but I am not willing to shell out $4 a day for coffee. Free works, you get what you pay for. Anyways I have a Starbucks mug at work, so most mornings I pour the office coffee into the Starbucks mug and pray for a miracle. Maybe I don't have enough faith because there is no miracle, the coffee still tastes like liquid brown stuff. The Starbucks mug has no super powers, office coffee in a Starbucks mug is still office coffee. It doesn't matter what is on the outside but what is on the inside. Starbucks coffee would still taste great even if you poured into a "Roll up the Rim to Win" cup, as long as there was no Tim Horton's coffee left in there. Just a side note, I have decided that any unattended Tim Horton's cup is fair game whether there is coffee in there or not because Tim Horton's coffee is about the same as office coffee. I am still Canadian though, I can eat a box Timbits with the best of them.
In our faith journey's and ministries we can get into the Starbucks mug mentality. That what is on the outside is more important than the inside. People have been talking a lot about how we need to live out our faith and how we need to take care of the needy, those dying from AIDS.
I agree.
James 1:27 says Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

My question is what is our motivation, is it to fit in with the other Christians? Is this the new definition of living a good Christian life? Have we changed the definition of living a Christian life, from sin management to social concerns?

I wonder if we are getting close to taking God out of the equation again? Is it more important to look like a Christian or to be one?

A good laugh.
If you are going to make fun of your wife, better make sure she isn't holding sissors.
The Lawnmower
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the truck, the car, fishing, always something more important to me.Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house.I was gone only a few minutes. When I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. "When you finish cutting the grass," I said, "you might as well sweep the sidewalk."The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

When I saw this I laughed to so hard.
The McPassion of the Filmmaker - Rik Swartzwelder didn't like the way churches pitched The Passion from their pulpits a couple of years ago. So the young filmmaker made a biting satire about it—and you can watch it today.by Mark Moring posted 03/01/06
