My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

It’s all about that girl on the dangerous streets who’s lost, dazed, and confused in the darkness of her nightmarish world. She’s dying to live. She’s dying to know what love is. She’s got a good friend that’s trying to show her something more. If she would just take his hand he’ll lead her straight to God. This darkness would come to an end if she would just take her chances with God.

That’s the powerful story that’s set to music in this Summer Of 2004 Christian Rock smash from Columbus Ohio’s Everyday Sunday. Here’s the music video for “Gypsy Girl (What Love Is)”. It’s in the lyrics:

The band’s hot new album – “Best Night Of Our Lives” – drops at retail next Tuesday June 16TH 2009.

Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

It’s the 1ST Sunday of June in 2009, and here are my takeaways from Life Pointe Church in Homestead Florida this morning:

– This was my very first Life Pointe Church service in ‘HD‘.
– That’s right – I have new glasses now, so I can see clearly now.
– The increasingly bearded Pastor Travis led this morning’s teaching.
– It was Part 9 of our current ‘Rebel’ message series that started on Easter.
– This morning’s teaching was entitled ‘Rebel Love: Riot Gear’.
– It was based on 1 Peter 3:8-22.
– God is working in each of us.
– He wants us to be victorious in Life – through the good times and the bad times.
– We must be confident in His authority and His power for victory.
– We must trust our gut only when God is in charge of it.
– We must never trust in ourselves.
– We will never know better than God.
– The only truth comes from God and Scripture.
– His Good News should be our owner’s manual.
– Satisfaction is always guaranteed with God.

1 Peter 3:10-12 (NLT, 2ND Ed.)
10  For the Scriptures say,
“If you want to enjoy Life
  and see many happy days,
keep your tongue from speaking evil
  and your lips from telling lies.
11  Turn away from evil and do good.
  Search for peace, and work to maintain it.
12  The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right,
  and His ears are open to their prayers.
But the Lord turns His face
  against those who do evil.”

My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

Virtually all of the music that I listen to today on the radio is from artists that I had never heard of prior to the start of this 1,000+ day journey during the Summer of 2006. In fact they are all from a music genre that I didn’t really know existed until my Rebirthing. It’s the Christian Rock genre, and it’s hit music produced, written, and performed by followers of Jesus Christ. Their music can be louder, harder, and rougher than that of their secular counterparts, but this is music with a positive message – a Godly message. Even in music – it is all about Him.

Here’s one such hard rocker. It’s one of my all-time favourite songs of my fantastic journey thus far. It’s “Fading Away” from Demon Hunter, and it’s in the lyrics:

Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

It’s the 5TH Sunday of May in 2009, and here are my takeaways from Life Pointe Church in Homestead Florida this morning:

– She may talk about … JUICE.
– Everything was back to normal for the early 9 AM service.
– That’s because Rita B. was back where she belongs.
– Pastor Travis led this week’s teaching subtitled ‘Men Of A Revolution’.
– Jesus Christ is my role model.

– I wish to constantly lift Him up – not myself or others.
– Nobody even comes close to Him.
– I choose to love God in public.
– I love Him more than any one and any thing.
– I choose to be a revolutionary man.
– The world should be able to clearly see God’s glory in me.
– Where your treasure is – that’s where your heart is.
– Just because you’re strong doesn’t mean you’re superior.
– Just because you’re weak doesn’t mean you’re inferior.
