The Friday Four V.1

Alright it’s time for another new feature here at my lil’ home on the net. The Friday Four is going to be my attempt to post 4 things that are heavy on my heart from the week. Now these might be posts that I’ve read from others, something I’ve listened to, something serious, maybe something funny. Honestly like I said earlier just four things that are heavy on my heart. Why Four? Well someone already had “The Friday Five”!

1.) A Divine Slap In The Face – Perry Noble
Perry wrote a convicting post that I believe any believer especially one with children would be moved by concerning God’s heart for he lost…

However, later on that evening I felt the Lord say to me, “Now you know how I feel about lost people.”

2.) The Church by Elevation Worship “Kingdom Come”

Kingdom Come is the latest Album released by Elevation Church in Charlotte NC, one of the most influential churches in America. I don’t know how else to say this than this song has been on repeat pretty much since the day the CD came out September 7th. With lyrics like:

Verse:
now’s the time for us to rise
and carry hope and let love shine
and show this world that mercy is alive
now’s the time for us to rise
and carry hope to hopeless eyes
and show this world that mercy is alive

Now the whole album is great go get it if you haven’t yet…

3.) A Few Tweets that moved me & why…

heretolead: if you don’t serve, give and invite people to your church, then don’t kid yourself…you are not committed to it. 5:56 PM Sep 10th via web

Here’s the thing, as another Pastor recently put it “The world is waiting for change, God’s people are the change the world is waiting for.” In other words the Local Church is the change that the world is waiting for. Now this isn’t aimed at anyone in particular but it always amazes me how many people have an opinion of the Local Church but how few are willing to submit and get involved. I believe if these people were as committed on the job as they are in church they’d be fired, if they were as committed at home as they are at the church they’d be, well, alone…

OraiaSpeaks: In the middle of nowhere, eating oatmeal on the side of the road & thinking how grateful I am that God is not intimidated by my questions 4:35 PM Sep 11th via mobile web

Right about the time I read this I too was asking God some deep questions, and like my friend Katy said I as well am glad that God isn’t intimidated by what I was asking.

4.) The Other Side – Pastor Judah Smith (The City Church)

Alright time for a little confession, I’ll admit it today I was a little jealous reading all the tweets from a certain Leadership Conference that I didn’t attend in Anderson, SC. And I heard that a fellow Washingtonian named Judah Smith tore it up. I proceeded to read that he preached a message that just might have been preached at his home church a few months back. Although I’m sure it wasn’t exactly the same I needed to hear it. After listening I really understood why I needed to hear it. And that’s about all I can actually say right now (maybe more to say soon, but not today!) Anyways I would strongly suggest that you stop what you’re doing and go take a listen right about now…
