Facing a Task Unfinished

2011-10-21T18:29:00.000-04:00

Some of you may have heard this before, but I just discovered this excellent missionary hymn today. All I could really find out about it is that is was written by Frank Houghton, an OMF missionary, in 1930. Take a moment to read this and make it your prayer. There is much work left to be done.

Facing A Task Unfinished

Facing a task unfinished
That drives us to our knees
A need that, undiminished
Rebukes our slothful ease
We, who rejoice to know Thee
Renew before Thy throne
The solemn pledge we owe Thee
To go and make Thee known

Where other lords beside Thee
Hold their unhindered sway
Where forces that defied Thee
Defy Thee still today
With none to heed their crying
For life, and love, and light
Unnumbered souls are dying
And pass into the night

We bear the torch that flaming
Fell from the hands of those
Who gave their lives proclaiming
That Jesus died and rose
Ours is the same commission
The same glad message ours
Fired by the same ambition
To Thee we yield our powers

O Father who sustained them
O Spirit who inspired
Saviour, whose love constrained them
To toil with zeal untired
From cowardice defend us
From lethargy awake!
Forth on Thine errands send us
To labour for Thy sake

'October Baby', an Upcoming Movie about Adoption, Abortion, and Forgiveness

I had never heard of this movie until I watched this just now. I am definitely looking forward to it. What are your thoughts on this trailer? Does it seem like a movie you would be interested in seeing?

Bonus: Yes, that is John Schneider, aka both Jonathan Kent (on Smallville) and Bo Duke (Dukes of Hazzard). Win!

Introducing our Newest Contributor

2011-10-16T23:31:00.001-04:00

If you have been following this blog for awhile you know that it has always been Kristian, Jeremy, and myself posting of a variety topics as we study various topics or stumble across good videos. Due to various real life time-consumers, the amounts of posts we have all been contributing has really slacked off in the last year. I've been pondering adding another contributor for awhile when in God's providence I discovered that I knew someone that was actually looking to start blogging. I am very pleased to let you all know that we have added our good friend Kwame as an author.

You may recognize him from the video I posted last week. I will get him to introduce himself in the next few days, but just know that anything Kwame writes will melt your face and more than stir your affections for Christ. Get ready for heavy doses of the Word. It's going to be "Supa Bangin'", to borrow his phrase. Welcome to the team, Kwame.

An Encouragement from Ephesians

2011-10-14T11:12:00.000-04:00

I just wanted to share something I read this morning and an area that God has been encouraging me.

"I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." - Ephesians 4:1-3

Here, I felt the urgency and the reality that we are called to bear with one another in all things. I think often times, when someone asks me to do something, or if they are just being themselves which I might not like at the moment, there is a tendency to kind of make the person aware of what I think or how I feel about the situation. This is neither humble nor gentle, and it is usually indicative of my impatience. The result? No peace. It either ends in some kind of heated discussion/argument, frustration, or any other unpeaceful result. Our response in all situations should reflect our calling. But we are not called to respond this way just because, instead, we are called to respond this way so that we can maintain the bond of peace. Peace will always be a fruit of humility, gentleness, patience, and bearing with one another. It's funny, sometime we think things like, "if I could just convince this person to do it this way, or if they would just not say that, then things would be a lot more peaceful"; however, I believe it is the opposite. As we bear with one another and are patient, I think we will find the peace we are so desperately looking for in the most unlikely place. Allowing people to be people, and us bearing with them. "If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all." - Romans 12:18

After all, our peace with Christ depended on him bearing with us, being patient with us, being gentle with us, and him loving us. It did not depend upon us changing how we do things, or us getting something right. Even in Romans 12:18, Christ leads by example. Our peace depended on him.

So, may we be encouraged to maintain peace and in so doing, find ourselves truly loving, truly being patient, truly being humble, and truly being gentle. Just like Christ.

The History of Saint Patrick, Redux

Wow, I did not realize today was St. Patrick's day until just a few moments ago. Well, since it is somewhat traditional for me to link back to the original post I threw together about St. Patrick a few years ago, I decided to rush to the interwebs and do so. As a bonus this year, here is a short video recap of St. Patrick's life, because reading is for chumps.

The Village Church - God of Victory

Those of you that have been visiting this blog for a while know that all of us are big fans of Matt Chandler. Hopefully we have inspired you to check out his sermon podcast. One thing you may not know, however, is that the worship band for his church, lead by Michael Bleecker, is pretty excellent. They already have one album out and have another releasing on April 1. Here is a little promo video for the album followed by a link to the "official" webpage where you check out the track list and hear some song samples.
