What if Cartoons Got Saved? They'd Start Singin' Praise!

Image
Who'd have known that the infamous "Cartoon Song" would ever have a prophetic sense to it (tongue-in-cheek)? Believe it or not, now, if you can shell out the dough, you and the fam can stay at home and worship with the cartoons. To read more about "Mass We Pray" (what a stupid name, btw), click the image-link below:

No Reason To Be Christian

Here's a fascinating quote from Marva Dawn's book Reaching Out Without Dumbing Down , dwell on it for a few minutes (especially if you're a Church leader): "If we give people less of a Gospel, they see no reason to be Christian" (150).

Need Help Finding A Song

I've been hunting for a song for a few weeks now and I have yet to find it in audio, tab or even lyrical format. It's a praise chorus from a few years back that begins like this: We have come to worship You We have come to worship You Yes, we have come to worship You Look deep into our hearts And You will see that We have come to worship You etc... Anybody know this song?

I'm Part of a New Ministry

Image
After a lifetime in KY, as many of you know, I recently moved to Michigan. For the last five years I've been preaching and ministering in the Bluegrass State but now, I am part of a new ministry. I have accepted a ministerial position (associate minister with "worship leading" as priority) in Michigan at a new Church plant known as "Outland Church". This is quite different from what I'm used to but the wife and I knew we fit into this community immediately. I didn't know that I was going to serve in a Church again as a minister but all of the pieces of this opportunity fell together so well that I almost couldn't question it all.

"Those Who Trust"

Oh, the college days. Here's a video from '02 of my old roomate (the one on the left singing) and another friend playing "Those Who Trust", by Waterdeep. I'm a sucker for the acoustic guitar and Chris (though it isn't necesarrily fully showcased in this video, is by far one of the best guitarists I've ever met in person; the kid is phenomenal, this coming from a writer, singer and guitarist myself). If you're into acoustic worship, give this short video a watch.
