BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Snippet

Sex is a flame which uncontrolled may scorch; properly guided, it will light the torch of eternity Joseph Fetterman

Scripture

With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk.  All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare little knowing it will cost him his life. Proverbs 7:21-23 NIV

Here's to hoping you live forever and “I” never die.

Scripture

I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit 

the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 

listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed

— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet 

will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed I

Go Rest High On That Mountain 

- Vince Gill

http://youtu.be/6jXrmAKBBTU

I know your life

On earth was troubled

And only you could know the pain

You weren't afraid to face the devil

You were no stranger to the rain

[Chorus:]

Go rest high on that mountain

Son, you work on earth is done

Go to heaven a shoutin'

Love for the Father and Son

Oh, how we cried the day you left us

We gathered round your grave to grieve

I wish I could see the angels faces

When they hear your sweet voice sing

[Chorus]

Sentence Prayer

Father

There is neither Sail or windsock that can capture your holy 

Wind. We all are being driven home by your mighty gusts.  

Hank is at home with you -so Help us adjust Holy Spirit to 

the direction you are blowing today. 

Help us see in Your wind there is no chance or change, that 

you cannot use for your glory. Help us to be anchored enough 

to this life that we are able to serve you, but may we be free 

enough to adjust to your will. Be with Hanks loved ones for 

comfort and healing as they ride out this rogue wind.  Amen

BLINK

Snippet

The story of life is quicker then the blink of an eye, the story of love is hello, 

goodbye. Jimi Hendrix

Scripture

If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing 

but the creaking of a rusty gate.  If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all 

his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says 

to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing. If I give 

everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, 

but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, 

and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love. 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 MSG

Relient K - Don't Blink

http://youtu.be/io0yQfX10-s

Don't know where to go from here

My thoughts are tangled, twisted fears

Been waitin' a while now on the dawn

Seems like the sun may never come

I made my way through the darkest night

To the break of day on the other side

For some time the light's been creepin' in

Now I'm feelin' like I could trust again

You're the only person who reminds me

Love is beautiful and true

Life is beautiful and new

You're the only person who reminds me

Hold on now don't you blink or it's gone

I've been terrified of life for way too long

Oh no now don't you blink or it's gone

In another life who knows what we'd become?

Love is beautiful and true

Life is beautiful and new

Been making plans and drawing maps

I plan to take the righteous path

And hope and pray it leads me back

To all the happiness I had

Been making lists and crossing off

Every kiss that wasn't love

And every word that stretched the truth

Like when she said she loved me

You're the only person who reminds me

Hold on now don't you blink or it's gone

I've been terrified of life for way too long

Oh no now don't you blink or it's gone

In another life who knows what we'd become?

Hold on now don't you blink or it's gone

Hold on now don't you blink or it's gone

In another life who knows what we'd become?

Love is beautiful and true

Life is beautiful and new

Been making lists and crossing off

Every kiss that wasn't love

And every word that stretched the truth

Like when she said she loved me

Sentence Prayer

Eternal God,

Grant to us this day and every day

Such readiness and delight in following Christ.

That whether our lives are short or long

We shall have lived abundantly.

Amen

FALSE CHURCH

Snippet

Before a Pagan is baptized he must take his false idols to the center of 

the village and set them on fire, to demonstrate Jesus is Lord. David 

Kalb Missionary to Ghana

Scripture

But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. 

Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that 

committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know 

ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in 

you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are 

bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in 

your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6:17-20 KJV

Take Me to Church Hozier

http://youtu.be/u3voRbKryjA

My lover's got humour

She's the giggle at a funeral

Knows everybody's disapproval

I should've worshiped her sooner

If the Heavens ever did speak

She is the last true mouthpiece

Every Sunday's getting more bleak

A fresh poison each week

'We were born sick,' you heard them say it

My church offers no absolution

She tells me, 'Worship in the bedroom'

The only heaven I'll be sent to

Is when I'm alone with you

I was born sick,

But I love it

Command me to be well

Amen. Amen. Amen

[Chorus 2x:]

Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life

If I'm a pagan of the good times

My lover's the sunlight

To keep the Goddess on my side

She demands a sacrifice

To drain the whole sea

Get something shiny

Something meaty for the main course

That's a fine looking high horse

What you got in the stable?

We've a lot of starving faithful

That looks tasty

That looks plenty

This is hungry work

[Chorus 2x:]

Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

Offer me my deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life

No masters or kings

When the ritual begins

There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene

Only then I am human

Only then I am clean

Amen. Amen. Amen

[Chorus 2x]

Sentence Prayer

Father

Declaring Jesus is Lord; may we burn the false idol of a “good 

time.”  May we turn our will to the task of sanctifying Your Holy 

Sanctuary. Jesus bought us with His own precious blood, we are 

no longer free to serve sin.  Instead, let us practice each day 

obeying the Holy Ghost.  Amen R.M.

HIDE AND SEEK

Snippet

When you start hiding things away, that's when the darkness creeps up. Sunlight is 

the best disinfectant. Steve Kazee

Scripture

The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2 “Go to the great city of 

Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”

But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, 

where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard 

and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord. Jonah 1:1-3 NIV

Here and There The City Harmonic

http://youtu.be/7IfdwjRvESA

Heart beat, little heart

There You are, there You are

I came kicking, I came screaming:

I was so used to the dark

You whispered “light” and lit a spark

And there You are, there You are

I’ve been living, I’ve been dying

And Your heart beats ever on

You were

You are

You are 

To come

If I’m barely hanging on:

Here You are, here You are

I come crawling, I come running:

Here You are with open arms

No, my heart’s not giving up

Here You are, here You are

You’ve been living in my dying

Now I’m dying for Your heart

You were

You are

You are 

To come [x2]

My heart is like Pandora’s Box

With just a crack it’s opened up

To beat anew when all is lost

To run, crawl, come home.

You are to come

Here and There

Sentence Prayer

There are lumps under our carpet

That the vacumn won’t vanquish.

There are cats tied in bags

Would be off like  a flash.

Skeletons in the cupboards

Tap tap on the doors.

There is nothing hidden 

But that’s going to get out,

So let’s get over with, God.

Silence

There’s a pile at the foot of the cross

Of the things we could without.

Make us glad we brought them to you,

Who carries away the sins of the world,

And grant in their place 

Pardon and grace

And your call to be following always.  Amen

(The Pattern of our Days worship in the celtic tradition from the Iona community Pg 111)

CAPTURED

Snippet

The Bible tells one story and points to one figure. It narrates how God rescues His 

world that we wrecked, and exalts Christ as the One who accomplishes the rescue. 

In the Old Testament God revealed Himself through types and shadows, promises 

and prophecies. In the New Testament God reveals Himself in Christ, who is the 

substance of every shadow and the fulfillment of every promise and prophecy. The 

Old Testament predicts God’s Rescuer; the New Testament presents God’s Rescuer. 

Therefore, the whole Bible – both the Old and New Testaments – is all about God’s 

Rescuer. Tullian Tchividjian

Scripture

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves 

has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, 

because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one 

and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that 

we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our 

sins. 1 John 4:7-10 NIV

Than when I'm lost in you 

My head may spin around 

Like the stars of the night sky do 

Your love has come to rescue me 

Your love has come to set me free 

Your love, love is all I need

Your love has come to rescue me 

Your love has come to set me free 

Your love, love is all I need

Your love has come to rescue me 

Your love has come to set me free 

Your love, love is all I need

Sentence Prayer

Jesus my great Rescuer; 

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, 

faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

To these I commit my day.

If I succeed, I will give thanks.

If I fail, I will seek Your grace.

And then, when this day is done,

I will place my head on my pillow and rest.  Amen
