Check it…

I wrote and threw this together yesterday.
Partially it was a fun experiment to see what I could do at first blush NOT using guitars (or at least them not sounding like guitars). 
The words are:
Let all creation sing Her praise–to U. Let all the colors bleed to U. Inside my doubt there is faith. And in [...]

Suspending Disbelief…an act of worship

  
Years ago I flirted with the charismatic world.  I suppose the farthest I ever got was Vineyard, which may only be like making it to second base, I really don’t know.  During Bible college I became pretty sickened by the rank intellectualism of the seminarians I was encountering and so became a champion of headless [...]

Entering Mystery

Songs for me, and particularly the personal writing of songs, are a prophetic thing.  I rarely know why I write what I do–they more or less flow out in built in rivers of word and melody.  To be honest, I’ve never felt like I had much control over them; they are their own creatures and [...]

What might the prophetic look like today?

Where are the sounds of laughter or children [...]

Taking A Time Out–Part 1

“Here we are now, entertain us.”
Yup, that just about says it all.
For my generation, it’s obvious…stimulation, over-stimulation, hyper-stimulation…
Remember Atari? It was cool. I got in on the gaming revolution way to late, but it was really cool. There was this one game, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, with its synthesizer theme [...]

True Worship (an out of context quote)

I found this…I love the definition of worship it provides…Worship is movement…it’s being moved. Truly and positionally moved…great stuff
True worship is:
When we willingly forgo other things to come together as a community and put ourselves under the Word of God- when we listen to Him, and allow Him to speak to us, push us, challenge [...]
