If I get to church Sunday and all we do is worship through these songs, I think that’ll be time very well spent…
What’s missing?
Looking for some good, new music?
Check out Kristian Stanfill’s new EP, ‘Attention’.
I downloaded it last week and I’m liking it a lot! Very worshipful lyrics with pretty cool, original music to boot.
I have no doubt that we’ll be singing some of these songs in church before long.
You can preview each song and purchase a download [...]
John Piper talks about the supremacy of Christ.
This is the message I want to spend the rest of my life communicating in every way that I can.
I daily beg Jesus to pay off our debts and give me a job where I can spend all day, every day proclaiming this message:

Check out this post over at WorshipMatters. It’s pretty funny and very worthwhile.
I especially like #6:
6. Make sure the majority of your songs talk about what we do and feel rather than who God is and what he’s done.
Why clutter up our songs with clear, specific, and compelling descriptions of God’s character and works? Why [...]

Most of you know that I’m a huge fan of music, and especially worship music.
By far, the majority of my favorite music comes from Passion (did you know that David Crowder, Charlie Hall, and Chris Tomlin are all on the Passion record label?). I have never, ever in my life been disappointed with a new [...]

I will be able to do this:
A couple of weeks ago we took our youth group up to Asheville for a couple of days.
We stayed at a camp ground with no electricity, which meant no amplifiers or flashy lights, just guitars and voices worshipping the King.
Check it out:
Jeremy and I went to hang out at Mike D’s house last night. We broke out the guitars and had some fun.
Watch Mike and tell me he’s not the fastest guitar player you’ve ever seen :0)
PS — Go visit Jeremy’s new blog and show him some love!
As promised a week ago, I have an mp3 file of the teaching on ‘worship’ I did last Sunday. Please give it a listen and let me know what you think! I’m sure there are some things you would have done differently, so let me know what they are!

Yesterday, I was driving to work, and something marvelous happened: I made a turn, and somehow, some loose wires snugged up to where they needed to be, and BOTH of the rear speakers in my car started working. This is like the equivalent of upgrading from a $10 walmart computer speaker to a… $50 walmart [...]
I had the great privilege of teaching our main service this Sunday at church, and it didn’t take me two seconds to know that I wanted to teach on the topic of worship.
As luck (or providence) would have it, the mic battery went out half way through, so the sound guys or going to see [...]
I’m sure you’ve seen all the blog uproar about the song “Shout To The Lord” being used on the show American Idol. I honestly didn’t think too much of it when I first heard it. My knee jerk reaction was to be even more disillusioned with Hollywood that they took the word ‘Jesus’ out of [...]
This should be a very interesting week…
I get the opportunity to teach on worship this week.
Steph will be in what our book says is the hardest week of the first 6 months of pregnancy.
…and she’s teaching on women in missions somewhere in podunk Va this morning.
…and she woke up with a nasty cold…
I foresee potential [...]
Just about a year ago, Steph and I went to the last major Passion Conference: Passion ‘07.
For weeks afterwards, they promised that some of the new music would be coming out via iTunes in the near future, but then they went and decided to do a world tour, so a full year later, it’s here:
Passion: [...]
