Worship
Because I was created by God and for his glory, I will magnify Him as I respond to His great love. My desire is to make knowing and enjoying God the passionate pursuit of my life
Colossians 1:16-18
6For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels--everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. 17He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. 18And when it comes to the church, he organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body.
He was supreme in the beginning and--leading the resurrection parade--he is supreme in the end. From beginning to end he's there, towering far above everything, everyone.
John 17:3
3And this is the real and eternal life:
That they know you,
The one and only true God,
And Jesus Christ, whom you sent.
Revelation 3:20
20"Look at me. I stand at the door. I knock. If you hear me call and open the door, I'll come right in and sit down to supper with you.
Philippians 3:7-10
7The very credentials these people are waving around as something special, I'm tearing up and throwing out with the trash--along with everything else I used to take credit for. And why? Because of Christ. 8Yes, all the things I once thought were so important are gone from my life. Compared to the high privilege of knowing Christ Jesus as my Master, firsthand, everything I once thought I had going for me is insignificant--dog dung. I've dumped it all in the trash so that I could embrace Christ 9and be embraced by him. I didn't want some petty, inferior brand of righteousness that comes from keeping a list of rules when I could get the robust kind that comes from trusting Christ--God's righteousness.
10I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally, experience his resurrection power, be a partner in his suffering, and go all the way with him to death itself.
Jeremiah 9:23-24
23GOD's Message:
"Don't let the wise brag of their wisdom.
Don't let heroes brag of their exploits.
Don't let the rich brag of their riches.
24If you brag, brag of this and this only:
That you understand and know me.
I 'm GOD, and I act in loyal love.
I do what's right and set things right and fair,
and delight in those who do the same things.
These are my trademarks."
GOD's Decree.
Psalm 73:25-28
25You're all I want in heaven!
You're all I want on earth!
26When my skin sags and my bones get brittle,
GOD is rock-firm and faithful.
27Look! Those who left you are falling apart!
Deserters, they'll never be heard from again.
28But I'm in the very presence of God--
oh, how refreshing it is!
I've made Lord GOD my home.
God, I'm telling the world what you do!
An Asaph psalm
Psalm 16:11
11Now you've got my feet on the life path,
all radiant from the shining of your face.
Ever since you took my hand,
I'm on the right way.
A David prayer
Isaiah 43:7
7I want them back, every last one who bears my name,
every man, woman, and child
Whom I created for my glory,
yes, personally formed and made each one.'"

DUDE! That Isaiah 43:7 rocked my world! This is exactly what I've been thinking about this last week (thanks to the CD Kevin gave me). I'm going to try to convey my message with the band tonight at practice, but I want our personal mission to be simply glorifying God in every aspect of our lives. I’m so excited about everything. I am officially making Isaiah 43:7 WELLband’s focus verse. This is what we’re about. I want to say so much about what I'm feeling right now, but I can’t express myself in words. The only thing I know to do right now is...play the drums...and play them loud...for Christ...I'm awe-inspired.
These verses remind me of my away message (in NLT version)
John 3:30 He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.
Good verses, Kevin!

BTW, where is the wednesday meeting going to be at?

This has been a great week. Really! God is showing himself to me in a lot of new ways this week. These verses are reminders of how amazing God is. His love never fails for me.
I went to Hillsong United concert yesterday...WOW! thats pretty much the only word I can come up with that almost, kinda, sort-of, describes how amazing they were. Hillsong was going CRAZY for God and completly worshiping him. They weren't playing to the hundreds of kids there. They were playing to God and he was all that mattered to them.
I must admit, I did a little jumping/raising of hands/ shouting...i know, i know...it may be hard for you to imagine that I would be that CRRAAAZZYY! But God was all that mattered in that moment. I know he was looking down at the jam packed building and getting all the glory.
