1) For those going to the Lecrae Concert, transportation will be leaving BCLR at 5:00. We will return between 10:00 and 10:30. Bring 5$ for the ticket and a few dollars to eat. We will be making a stop at Chick-Fil-A on the way there.
2) Youth night will continue as always. The ROC looks forward to hearing from Michael DeLon this Wednesday. Preach the Word brother!!
3) A Big thank you to everybody who prayed for me this week. I appreciate you all!
A quick word of explanation might be necessary concerning the concert. First, I know this style of music is not everyone’s preference but we should remember that is what we are talking about- preference. The hymn book of ancient Israel passed down words not notes, which indicates to me some freedom of expression. Second, we should be willing to extend liberty to others in areas not made explicit in Scripture. Whether you choose to go or choose not to go is not the primary issue, God is concerned with how you treat your brother. Third, if Paul could rejoice in those who preached the gospel from envy and strife (Phil. 1:15) could we not rejoice in those who are preaching the gospel with noble motives? With that in mind, I would like to offer a few words, minus the music, for you to examine for yourself.
Boasting
…With every breath I take, with every heart beat,
Sunrise and the moon lights in the dark street
Every glance, every dance, every note of a song
It's all a gift undeserved that I shouldn't have known
Every day that I lie, every moment I covet
I'm deserving to die, I'm just earning your judgment
I, without the cross there's only condemnation
If Jesus wasn't executed there's no celebration
So in times that are good, in times that are bad
For any times that I've had it all I will be glad
And I will boast in the cross, I boast in my pains
I will boast in the sunshine, boast in his reign
What's my life if it's not praising you
Another dollar in my bank account of vain pursuit, I do
not count my life as any value or precious at all
Let me finish my race, let me answer my call
Tomorrow's never promised, but it is we swear
Think we’re holding our own, just a fist full of air
God has never been obligated to give us life
If we fought for our rights, we’d be in hell tonight
Mere sinners own nothing but a fierce hand
We never loved him we pushed away his pierced hands
I rejected his love, grace, kindness, and mercy
Dying of thirst, yet, willing to die thirsty
Eternally worthy, how could I live for less?
Patiently you turn my heart away from selfishness
I volunteer for your sanctifying surgery
I know the spirits purging me of everything that's hurting me
Remove the veil from my darkened eyes
So now every morning I open Your Word and see the Son rise
I hope in nothin', boast in nothin', only in your sufferin'
I live to show your glory, dyin' to tell your story
Glory was solely meant for you
Doing what no one else could do
With all I have to give,
I'll use my life, I'll use my lips
I'll only glory in your Word
What gift to me I don't deserve
I'll live in such a way that it reflects to you, my Praise (Lecrae Moore)
In Christ Alone,
George
