He Loves!

I was thinking the other day on just how much our God LOVES! How can we complain after our eyes and ears are opened to the truth of HIS Love for us? We simply, can Not. As you play this video, sit down, close your eyes and sense "His amazing Love"!!!

What if your right?

But what if there's more? What if it's love?

What If
What if you're right?
And he was just another nice guy
What if you're right?
What if it's true?
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it's true?

What if he takes his place in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then?

(Chorus)
But what if you're wrong?
What if there's more?
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?
What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He's more than enough?
What if it's love?

What if you dig, What if you dig
Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends
What if you dig?
What if you find
A thousand more unanswered questions down inside
That's all you find

What if you pick apart the logic
And begin to poke the holes
What if the crown of thorns is no more
Than folklore that must be told and retold

(Chorus)

You've been running as fast as you can
You've been looking for a place you can land for so long
But what if you're wrong?

What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He's more than enough?
What if it's love?

Identity

Recently our small group leader sent a questionaire about people and outreach. It sparked a thought. What is our identity? True identity is found in Christ. We have one race, the human race, but so many separate themselves in many different groups. I wonder if we strip away all stereotypes we would find that we have so much more in common that is different. Strip away ageism. Strip away like-appearances. Strip away selfishness. Perhaps now there's a chance for outreach. And who are we reaching out to, except each other. We're people. That's enough commonality for me.

To put it in the words of a famous songwriter Matt Redmond- "When the music fades and all is stripped away and I simply come. Longing just to bring something that's of worth that will Bless Your Heart. I'll bring You more than a song. For a song in itself, is not what You have required. You search much deeper within, to the way things appear. Your looking into my heart. I'm coming back to a heart of worship. When it's all about You. All about You, Jesus.
