resurrection song

Often I will wake up with a song on my mind. One of those even today was Resurrection Song by Rend Collective. Very simple song, but this is a powerful message. Read some of the lyrics.

Because You're risen I can rise

Because You're living I'm alive

Because Your cross is powerful

Because You rose invincible

I can get up off the floor

This is my resurrection day

Nothing's gonna hold me in the grave

This is my resurrection day

Nothing's gonna hold me down

Say goodbye to my yesterdays

Ever since I met You I am changed

This is my resurrection day

Nothing's gonna hold me down

Because You rolled my stone away

Because my debt has all been paid

Because You stand in victory

Because You crushed the enemy

I can get up off the floor (get up off the floor)

The good news is the good news

'Cause You chose the rugged cross

The good news is the good news

'Cause You rose up from the dust

Your gospel is the power

That is saving all of us

So, I can get up off the floor

Come on, get up off the floor

Here is what we know.

Jesus did for us what we could not do for ourselves, and what God knows about us changes everything. Our salvation is secure. Our debt was paid, and the good news is that we are forgiven and made new, set free and have victory.

That is the way I choose to live today and forever. How about you?

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan. His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God. Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st. The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
