"made alive" by Citizens

This past weekend at church our band played a new song.

I waited patiently (read: I checked virtually every hour on the hour Monday until the blog posted recapping the set from the prior day's service) and discovered it was a new Citizens' song, "Made Alive."

I just read the other day that Mars Hill music is partnering with Tooth & Nail.
So billy bad apple!

I then discovered the Citizens' song was posted HERE.

This new partnership is allowing Citizens to produce a full-length album.

You can pre-order it now on iTunes, but it drops officially on March 12, 2013.

I'm super jazzed.

Youcef stands strong

Full story HERE.

Youcef was reportedly offered release from his prison home of over 2 years to publicly declare the Muhammed is God's messenger.

Youcef refused.

Keep him in your prayers.

Facing his death and his imprisonment, he is keeping his face toward Jesus.

God and politics

For whom does God want me to vote?

I don't know.

I'm not sure there is an answer, or if there is, that it is my job to fleece it out per se.

There are obviously certain positions on certain topics that are more easily deciphered from Biblical principles.

Should we kill unborn children God has created? Easy peasy

Should we force Christian organizations to hire non-Christians on staff? Lemon squeezy

I don't think God is a Republican. I'm pretty sure He's not a Democrat :)

That said, I do believe there is plenty of good reason to invest time and energy into thinking about the issues, the future, the candidates, and their ability to do that which you believe to be what government should do - what God has created it to do.

We the People... are subject to God (whether we vote for Him or not)

Please print and post THIS.

If so inclined, please take a moment to write a letter to Mr. Nadarkhani following the address and instructions at the bottom of the prisoner profile.

It is important to keep our brothers and sisters in our prayers. Especially when the "run-out-the-clock" mentality is being taken in hopes that he may one day be executed when fickle eyes have turned away.

A Nero by any other name

Please pray for Youcef Nadarkhani.
