Quote of the Day:
“If you read history you will find that the Christians who did the most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next.  It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.”
~C.S. Lewis

Lyrics of the Day:
“Who am I to know your glory
Who am I to recognize your voice (calling out)
How could I be in your story
God who was and is and is to come (who has won)

I was dead in my sin
You came in, yeah

You made a way when there was no way
You covered heaviness with garments of praise
You wrote a song and you’re singing it o – ver me
I feel a dead heart beating now
This revelation makes me wanna shout
That Jesus has been sent
And everything is different

You turn ashes into beauty
You are for me not against me, now (You love me somehow)
You turn mourning into dancing
You turn weeping into a joyful noise (And we rejoice)

I was dead in my sin
You came in, yeah

You made a way when there was no way
You covered heaviness with garments of praise
You wrote a song and you’re singing it over me, yeah
I feel a dead heart beating now
This revelation makes me wanna shout (Yeah!)
That Jesus has been sent
And everything is different

What manner of love
That you would call us sons and daughters
We cry “Abba Father”
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Our God, He reigns

You made a way when there was no way
You covered heaviness with garments of praise
You wrote a song and you’re singing it over me, yeah
I feel a dead heart beating now
This revelation makes me wanna shout (Yeah!)
That Jesus has been sent
And everything is different”

Verse of the Day:
“God sovereignly made me—the first, the basic—
before he did anything else.
I was brought into being a long time ago,
well before Earth got its start.
I arrived on the scene before Ocean,
yes, even before Springs and Rivers and Lakes.
Before Mountains were sculpted and Hills took shape,
I was already there, newborn;”
~Prov 8:22-25

And you’ll always be the next in line ”

“You don’t know me,
But i, don’t even know myself
We can’t pretend that i’m someone else
Try to surrender, i try to understand

Wash away, in the warmth of your sun
The broken man that you see,
Is not me, just a shadow where i used to be”

Lyrics of the Day:
“We drank the great lakes like cold lemonade.
And both got stomach aches sprawled out in the shade.
So bored to death you held your breath and I tried not to yawn. You make my frown turn upside and now my worries are gone.

I’ll be out of mind
and you’ll be out of ideas pretty soon.
So lets spend the afternoon
in a cold hot air balloon.
Leave your jacket behind
we now can touch the tree tops over town.
I can’t wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down.”

Quote of the Day:
“We’ll lie down and stare up at the vast blue sky above us and watch the clouds go by and listen to the breeze as it moves the leaves over-head. I’ll be there on my back and say a short prayer: ‘God, I can’t believe I get to live this life’.”
~Rob Bell

Lyrics of the Day:
“Does it have to start with a broken heart
Broken dreams and bleeding parts
We were young and world was clear
But young ambition disappears
I swore it would never come to this
The average, the obvious

I’m still discontented down here
I’m still discontented

If we’ve only got one try
If we’ve only got one life
If time was never on our side
Then before I die
I want to burn out bright”
~ “Burn Out Bright” by Switchfoot

Quote of the Day:

Verse of the Day:
“The LORD hears the needy
and does not despise his captive people.
Let heaven and earth praise him,

Then people will settle there and possess it;
the children of his servants will inherit it,
and those who love his name will dwell there.”

Lyrics of the Day:
“I wanna be happily everafter
And my heart is so shattered
But I know it’s about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore

I’ve been tryin’ to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I’m thinkin’ about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if you don’t love me anymore”
