As Cities Burn – Empire

This Video is really good and while it may be a little odd what it says is really important and needs to be heard.

Here are the lyrics so you can follow along.

“And I was a middle son,
between two wayward ones.
I was more deserving of my parents love.

I had an angels smile,
hiding a vultures bite.
I had no use for your redeeming blood.

Aren’t I glory, glorious?

Glory, glorious.
Aren’t we glory, glorious?
Aren’t we worthy, worthy of hearts at our feet?

Cause I was a pharisee,
I never saw my need for grace;
Then your love came to me
stood next to mine, and I saw that I was poor.

Show me I was poor.
Show us we are,
show us we are.

Glory, glorious.
We are glory, glorious.
Not from what good we have done
but from being the least. [x2]

Glory, glorious.
Oh, I don’t know how I was made.

My heaven tower sways atop their fleeting praise.
God, I don’t know how I was made.

Glory, glorious.
Are we glory, glorious?
Are we worthy, worthy of hearts at our feet?
Glory, glorious.
We are glory, glorious
not from what we’ve done,
but being the least.

I was a wicked one.”

The Time is Coming

this something A friend of mine wrote and I beleive it to be true and that what is said must be heard.

Hey guys, I just needed to share something with you all. God spoke to me today, and I felt that He gave me an urgent warning for His people. I didn’t make this up…I’m new at this, so bear with me. I wrote it down as best as I could remember, and so I am trusting God to use His words to speak to your hearts. Please pass this on to anyone who calls themself a Christian…I love you all very much.

“We are on the verge of a separation…the time is coming when the lines will be clearly drawn. Those who have not yet died to themselves will fall behind…now is the calm before the storm, but already the clouds are gathering. Every decision is critical. It has become a necessity to test everything against the Word and also the Spirit within us. The world is soon to see the unveiling of the Church in greater power than the forces of darkness that now try to suppress her. The day is soon coming…previously the Church has been the safe place, the peace maker, the yielder. But soon she will be feared…she will be called the Lord’s Anointed, and her enemies will tremble in her path. But the power of the enemy will also grow…demonic forces and possessions will become more and more prevalent. The time is coming when to say that you love God will mean death. But first they must fear the Church before they will be driven to destroy her…the Church is at peace with the world right now. The world has no reason to be hostile towards her, because she is not threatening it. But the lines will soon be drawn, and many will have to prove their love. Are you ready? Are you ready to prove your love for God? We are on the verge…the storm is about to start.

No one’s future will be as they imagined, because the future is about to change…

The reason the Church is passive and not on fire for God is because many of its members are still friends with the world. Before the church is fully empowered, those who have not died will either fall away, or be consumed by the fire of God. Now is a critical time…

We must either run back into the arms of our First Love, or leave Him altogether. The lukewarm He will spit out of His mouth. Now is the time to choose. You cannot be friends with the world and friends with God.

The time is coming…”

So close but very different

I watched Amazing Grace last night and realised that the words passion and compassionare are only 3 letters apart.  With this realisation another realisation that we often emphasize passion  in our leaders but compassionhas very little value placed on it when in reality these two are very similar. Just something to consider since we are in an election year.

this is a Michal Moore style documentary about scientific oppression of Creationism and intelligent design due out in February  I highly recommend it.
