My husband and I and a few of my kids had the honor of being in a video put out by a couple of the brothers of iSix5. Check the post our church wrote about it and then check the video. The Album- Slave Trade, by J.Miles is EXCELLENT so be sure to pick it up on iTunes as well!

Driven
Good message! What are you driven by and what are you driven to?
Here’s some video from a sermon I preached earlier this year in San Diego. The theme of the conference was “Driven”, so I chose to preach on Romans 12:1-2. What does it look like for a believer to be “driven?” My main points were that the believer should…
1. Be Driven By Mercy
2. Be Driven to Worship
3. Be Transformed
Hope its helpful!

If we could condense all the truths of Christmas into only three words, these would be the words: “God with us.” We tend to focus our attention at Christmas on the infancy of Christ. The greater truth of the holiday is His deity. More astonishing than a baby in the manger is the truth that this promised baby is the omnipotent Creator of the heavens and the earth!

The essence of lukewarmness is the statement, “I need nothing.” The lukewarm are spiritually self-satisfied. To find out whether you are among that number, don’t look into your head to see if you think that you are needy; rather, look at your prayer life. It doesn’t matter what we think in our head, the test of whether we are in bondage to spiritual self-satisfaction is how earnest and frequent and extended our prayers for change are.

Do you seek the Lord earnestly and often in secret for deeper knowledge of Christ, for greater earnestness in prayer, for more boldness in witness, for sweeter joy in the Holy Spirit, for deeper sorrow for sin, for warmer compassion for the lost, for more divine power to love? Or is the coolness and perfunctoriness of your prayer life Exhibit A that you are spiritually self-satisfied and lukewarm?

The most terrifying truth in scripture: God is good.
I think this is the only poem that has ever brought tears to my eyes.
