Aside from Hillsong United's A_Cross_the_Earth, this album is the best album to release in 09. I may be a little biased since I'm Christain and Hillsong is my favorite Christian worship band, but everything else can take a back seat. That's the truth for me. I've liked a few other albums, but Hillsong Live's 2009 release: Faith+Hope+Love just wraps it up for me. Will be on non-stop play in my truck. Can't wait for my original copy and DVD to come in.
This album officially releases on July 11th, 2009. How I got a leak? God just hooked me up.
We started the night off reading from the Book of Romans. Had a discussion in regards to the first chapter and how it applied to our lives as Christians and what's going on in the world today.
We then listened to some Hillsong songs and then headed off to the Otay In-N-Out. We got our grub on and headed back to my house where we did the unthinkable. We decided to make some music. With Gerry behind the guitar and Jason and I at vocals, we covered a few Hillsong songs. Ok, we aren't the greatest singers in the world but we tried and did it all to glorify God.
Out of all the tracks so far, Mighty to Save with me and Gerry came out the best. Best believe we'll be back at it again next Friday. Tonight, Friday Night Fellowship was born. We need a drummer and chick singer? Care to join?
Tonight we start our Friday Night Fellowship. Jason is going to be bringing along his brother Brandon. I really hope and pray this fellowship holds up. If we let ourselves falter and fall to the hands of glorifying sin then I'm a failure and a lukewarm Christian. I'd rather not know God at all and be cold than to be lukewarm.
I trust in God that we'll go through the awesome Book of Romans tonight and he'll lead us into a great night of fellowship.
Wow, I can't believe it's been forever since I've last blogged. Well, just to catch up on things, the past few months I've been really caught up in the world. Going out a lot on the weekends and drinking a lot. Drinking isn't a sin, but the actions from it are. Let's be serious here, I was being a very lukewarm Christian by being caught up like that.
Well, this past Tuesday, a best friend of mine, Jason, attended our Tuesday Bible study with us. He completely felt at home and suddenly became on fire for God. Gerry and I have been praying for him for a while for him to come back to the Lord. He's a Christian who just lost his way and was scared to come back. I pray that he sticks with this as he continues to re-strengthen his walk with the Lord.
This Friday, Gerry, Jason, and I are starting an alternative to typical Friday weekend nights. Rather than going out and partying and drinking, we're going to get together and study the word of the Lord, starting with The Book of Romans. It's a fellowship for us Twenty Something year olds. Aside from studying, we'll be practicing our music skills playing on the guitar, which I seriously need to stop putting off, and going out to dinner and whatever comes after.
I pray that God works through us and that we're able to bring more people in. It's a ministry that I feel God has spoken for us to do. To help fellow Christian Brothers/Sisters break free from the standard lifestyle of the world. Rather than going to the bars and glorifying sin, why don't you come join us and glorify God on a Friday night instead? Break free from it. Show the Devil that he doesn't have a hold on you. Let's get this revival going!
2 Timothy 3:1-5
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
BREAK FREE FROM IT!!! If you're a Christian and your circle of friends consist of what was described, get away from them and surround yourself with those like you. Don't let the Devil hold you down.
Here's a song from Hillsong United that I'll leave you with.
Just breathe in and just imagine the Holy Spirit working through this wonderful night of worship last night with Hillsong United in SD.
I'm still amazed at the power of God. How can you not believe in God? All of the people in this building all carry some sort of brokeness, pain, and whatever else it may be and also at different degrees. Yet, we all are crazy enough to have faith and believe that our God saves and delivers us when we need him the most, and indeed he does.
Norrie says that girls love a$$holes and thinks that I can be an a$$hole if I wanted to. She tells me that I need to stop being a pushover. Wow, that was definitely a kick in the balls. I think I'm going to take her advice and tap into that inner a$$hole and see where that takes me. Always a good time when she comes down and kicks it. I heart Norrie!
Going to try being an a$$hole for a week or two. Locked in. Let's go!!!
