(r)evolve is Almost Here!
Sunday, May 28th, 2006The Lone Strangers’ latest, a record of 10 of our favorite praise songs from The Rock and Stonebrook is almost here. Pat posted a sampler clip on his blog that has gotten me really excited.. The album is currently off being mastered, and then to be pressed (in the mean time we are […]
Matt Blair
Thursday, May 25th, 2006Today in my daily surfing, I came across Matt Blair, a worship leader/songwriter from North Carolina. For those of you who know me, and my compatriot/band mate Pat Blair, this is highly ironic. Haven’t really checked out the music yet, but if you look at his picture, he even looks like a combo […]
CD Review: Derek Webb - Mockingbird
Saturday, May 20th, 2006I finally picked up Derek Webb’s latest CD “Mockingbird”. It was released on December 26, 2005. Over the last year, Derek has become one of my favorite artists, by virtue of his lyrics which are truth filled, unfiltered by the industry, slightly controversial, and centered around harder truths of scripture and Christian living […]
Words To Think About.
Saturday, May 20th, 2006Hard words I’ve heard recently. I want to measure them against scripture, but they are sticking in my throat.
Ministry
Faithfulness over success
Christianity is not a set of rules to live by.
The Gospel is more than “The Four Spiritual Laws“.
The question “What must I do to be saved?” is asked several times in the […]
Matt’s Lo-Fi Faith
Thursday, May 18th, 2006It’s meme time again!
Tagged by Yannick.
1: List three (3) words that describe your faith.
True Tenacious Imperfect (doesn’t that seem inconsistent with true?)
2: Describe a belief you are certain about and one with which you struggle.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and Earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord.
I struggle with […]
1095.726597 Days
Wednesday, May 17th, 2006Today, Nancy and I have been married for three years. (1095.726597 Days). We celebrated last Friday by having the most expensive meal we’ve ever had together . (It was a combined celebration of our first child and three year anniversary, so it called for something big.) My thoughts on the occasion? […]
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Tuesday, May 16th, 2006This hymn has really been growing on me recently. Read the words… soak them in. If you have a hard time understanding them, think Yoda…
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. […]
Florida Is Amazing In May
Monday, May 15th, 2006UPDATE See bottom of post:
We’re back from sunny Florida. It was an extremely refreshing time and now I’m ready to hit the summer full force, gearing up to be a father, and doing ministry in a new outpost (with a lot of prayer and hard work for both…).
I feel a bit like I did […]
Mad Hot Ballroom
Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006Along the same line as my last post about The Five Browns, (sorry, the teacher side of me got thinking about more of the media that I have really enjoyed lately) has anyone else out there seen Mad Hot Ballroom? Autumn, who is always in the know about the newest indie/documentary films, told me […]
