THE BIG SEVEN
We just got done with a message series entitled, “The Big 7″ at thrive. The series was about asking God questions. We asked all kinds of stuff, but the last questions about God. Who is God?
A Chi Machine and Master J
We watched a short clip from “Rob & Big”, an MTV Show. It was hilarious to watch Rob and Big Black get down on the floor and let the Chi Machine work it’s magic. I was amazed that even this famous skateboarder with his own television show is in a search for a “Higher Power”.
Winterfest
We just got back from Winterfest in Knoxville, TN. There were over 17,000 students there and it was incredible. We sang songs louder, and prayed harder than we have ever done as a group. It was incredible.
Put it all together
So what does Rob & Big, Chi Machines, and Winterfest have in common? The pursuit of God. I am still amazed that the one thing man kind cannot get away from is God. We cannot stop looking for God. People come up with new things, new ideas, but it all leads back to the same idea.
One Way
There is a God.. and I am convinced, that not all ways lead to Him. We can come up with new ideas, and new thoughts, but there has to be one God, one way, or else God is this mixed up deity who let’s the mortal decide his character. If we can live how we want, believe what we want, then there is nothing to believe at all. There has to be a deity that was before us, before our thoughts, before our description. There has to be One God, One Way, One.
Psalms
The writer of Psalms makes it clear that if you pursue God you will find Him. God even makes that a promise to us. We will find him. We must seek Him. I was so proud of our teens this week. They really went after God even when the music or the preaching wasn’t coaching them.
If you seek Him you will find Him.
After a few hours playing in the snow
I now realize that KAIT8 did not blow it, they were just really really late. We woke up this morning and were disappointed, but give a morning and part of the afternoon and it was beautiful.
Robin and Randall
They called us up and wanted to know if we could come out and play. We jumped at the chance to play around on the four wheelers. So with all four of us on our own wheeler, we played in the snow for about 2 hours. It was awesome. We got one stuck and dug a whole bunch of ruts. I think those 4wheeler junkies have something there.
So What Now?
I don’t trust KAIT8 now, I just take whatever they said and add about 12 hours to it.
Crushed Again.
Let’s make it perfectly clear, I hate the cold weather. I would rather sweat than freeze any day. However, if I cannot get away from the cold, I would at least prefer to get some fun out it. But here in Arkansas, we just get the cold and no fun.
KAIT8 Blew it!
According to our trusted home town weather woman, we should have woke up this morning to 1-3 inches of snow. Instead I woke up to nothing, not even rain, just nothing. Now I hear them in the background making more promises of snow. But I refuse to listen. I am a non-believer now. I don’t trust the weather woman anymore. Sad really.
