Wow!!! Another great night! I know bands say this kinda thing all the time, but it is an honor to get to be part of big moments in church family life. We had a wonderful night of celebration.....the Gospel was proclaimed....and taught about how scripture teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lust. (Titus 3:11-15) We celebrated together. It was a very powerful time, with Jesus at the center.
Some have asked how I feel about those kinds of services with many tears and emotions. It's those that feel as if they could go forever, and no one would mind. God created emotions, and there were many emotions when people encountered God in scripture....usually fear.....in the NT we see rejoicing along w/ fear.
In those emotional service, I allow truth to guide me. God's word won't let your mind stray to crazy things. And the proof of the "power" of the service, is proved in the "fruit of repentance." In other words, how we submit to Christ in our day to day lives.
For the future, remember that God wants us to worship in "Spirit and in Truth." The Spirit of Christ abides w/ us to lead us to all truth, and we know His Word is true. A good equation is: Truth + Faith=Emotion + Action. If you get it backwards, you will end up very confused.
Continue to pray for:
- Drums for Matthew
- Our floor monitors (speakers) are fixed
- I find the right guitar amp at the right price
- We are fully prayed up and prepared for FBC La Porte "Smash!"
