mmmm....so good!


Here is some encouragement for you... or at least I found it encouraging.

Hebrews 10:23-25 says:

23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
I love verse 23! What is our hope? Our hope is that Christ has covered all of our sin and is coming back! And then it says, 'for he who promised is faithful'. With this, we can know that he will be faithful in redeeming us.


And then in Hebrews 10:31, it says:

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
 It just got done talking about our sin and that God will be just and I actually find this encouraging. I am in the hands of the living God which is a place of comfort, but at the same time it is such a fear thing. I am in the hands of the God that could end my very next breath.


Be ready because Christ is coming back, I am reminded of Luke 12:35-48

 35 "Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning, 36 and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks. 37 Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them. 38 If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants! 39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."

41 Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for all?" And the Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time? 43 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 44 Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. 45 But if that servant says to himself, 'My master is delayed in coming,' and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk 46 the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful. 47 And that servant who knew his master’s will but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating. 48 But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.

Sounds

A friend of mine found this video...check it out


An interesting talk, I think it is true that music is very powerful. Maybe that is why I like it so much and why I love running sound. Music strikes a powerful chord with a lot of different people.

Words can't describe it....

Alright, so you know how I was talking about my super sweet friends, well their website is up and they have a few songs that you can stream. I have gotten the privilege to listen to the entire CD and it is freaking sweet! I am super excited for when the rest of you can listen to it all. The album will be released on the 13th and you all should buy it.


Now I also have some pretty sweet friends that live out in Utah. We have a sister church out there that is called The Rock Church. They also have put out some pretty sweet CD's and they have a new one that is going to be released on the 14th. Here is the website for their newest CD called Promises.


I just can't escape from all of the awesomeness around me. I am privilaged that I even get to be part of it. Plus some good friends of mine are getting married that weekend as well. It is going to be one epic weekend of awesomeness!

AWESOMENESS!!!

So I have some pretty sweet friends. There isn't much more to it....

Okay, so I will tell you why. Travis Swan and Katrina Stone are some of the best musicians I know of. Travis is the worship leader for Summitview which is the church that I go to. And Katrina does music for life. She has also been a fellow sound person with me.


Anyway, they just finished a CD which will be released mid-november. The band is called The Unlikelies and here is a song that they are giving away for free that will be on the CD.

This is their website that will be up soon; theunlikelies.com

And while I am at it, I might as well tell of the band that I run sound for almost every Friday. I also think that these friends are pretty sweet. I get to hang out with them lots and also get to make great mixes for them. They also have an EP that you can download on the Rock website. The Rock is the college student group from Summitview.


Pretty much, my friends are cool.

Where is your heart?

And he said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.

"Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

So where do you put your treasure and your heart?
