New Hillsong UNITED Album!

So far this album is fantastic... except for Bones... that song is really strange.

Here's the title track!

God Ain't No Sissy

Psalm 2

1 Why are the nations so angry?
Why do they waste their time with futile plans?

2 The kings of the earth prepare for battle;
the rulers plot together
against the Lord
and against his anointed one.

3 “Let us break their chains,” they cry,
“and free ourselves from slavery to God.”

4 But the one who rules in heaven laughs.
The Lord scoffs at them.

5 Then in anger he rebukes them,
terrifying them with his fierce fury.

Whoever says God isn't cool clearly hasn't read this, or one of many passages like it.  I picture the leaders of the world huddled together like a football team, planning their next move against God... and what does God do?  He laughs!  God laughs at them!  That has got to be the biggest "mwa ha ha" ever!  Then once God has regained his composure he turns it to 11 and let's 'em have it!

Epic Song Monday #2: Angel Song

Angel Song is one of those songs that I'd get stuck in my head but I could never figure out what song it was! An epic song to say the least.

Also, here's a video explaining a bit about how the song came about.

Speaking of the Gospel

The post from Tuesday reminded me of this awesome video which is a clip from one of John Piper's sermon's. In it he talks about his disgust for what her refers to as the "Prosperity Gospel". He's referring to Christian's who claim that accepting Christ is what led to them having things such as wealth, worldly possession's, or success. And then sharing the "Gospel" with others promising that good things like this will happen to them too if they become a follower of Christ.

As a side note, the background music is an awesome song by Future of Forestry.

The Gospel, it's kinda like Twitter.

Most people know that it exists, but they have no clue what it actually is.

Of the people who claim to understand and follow it, many of them misuse it because they don't comprehend it's actual purpose and meaning.

Not everyone in the world has access to it.


The difference between the Gospel and Twitter? (other than the obvious)

The Gospel is the good news, Twitter is just news.

Epic Song Mondays!

I love alliterations. Unfortunately there are no days that begin with "E" and there are no words that can accurately replace "epic". So we'll just stick with "Epic Song Mondays!"

What makes a song epic? Two words. Goose bumps (one word if you're an R.L. Stine fan).

Todays Song: Savior King



One side effect of a song being epic is that the song is long and drawn out. Some would consider the majority of the song as "boring". If you are one of these people, :P on you... and here's one for you.

Song of the Day - Light up the Sky

I'm a sucker for a good, live acoustic version of a song I already love.
