Music Ministry

In a sermon from several years back,

Tim Keller said that,

After praying,

Singing is the second most-commanded action

In the Bible. 

I've been on the Search Committee since July. 

We have two final candidates selected. 

We are weary from the process. 

We seek a definitive Music Ministry leader.

Lord,

Guide the pastors 

So that they wisely choose

Who next shall lead us in musical worship. 

Help me support the ministry,

Despite my reservations over the leadership,

Whomever it ultimately is. 

Bless the music ministry here so that we,

In turn,

May sing of Your Goodness,

Your Mercy,

And above all,

Your Love

For this creation

That eagerly awaits its redemption...

Obedience

...though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered... (Hebrews 5:8)

If He had to learn obedience, 

And He was the Son,

How much moreso must I?...

...for our God is a consuming fire. (Hebrews 12:29)

Indeed! 

He consumes everything in His wake,

Even my justifications,

Even my emotions,

Even my heart's desires! 

Ah, fearsome ember, 

Will you grow? 

What and who will you consume next?
