Snippet
“Christianity is not about building an absolutely secure little niche
in the world where you can live with your perfect little wife and
your perfect little children in your beautiful little house where you
have no gays or minority groups anywhere near you. Christianity
is about learning to love like Jesus loved and Jesus loved the poor
and Jesus loved the broken.” Rich Mullins
Scripture
Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and
said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves
and take up their cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to
save their life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and
for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for someone to gain
the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Mark 8:34-36 NIV
Song
Glorious Unfolding
Steven Curtis Chapman
Lay your head down tonight
Take a rest from the fight
Don’t try to figure it out
Just listen to what I’m whispering to your heart
‘Cause I know this is not
Anything like you thought
The story of your life was gonna be
And it feels like the end has started closing in on you
But it’s just not true
There’s so much of the story that’s still yet to unfold
And this is going to be a glorious unfolding
Just you wait and see and you will be amazed
You’ve just got to believe the story is so far from over
So hold on to every promise God has made to us
And watch this glorious unfolding
God’s plan from the start
For this world and your heart
Has been to show His glory and His grace
Forever revealing the depth and the beauty of
His unfailing Love
And the story has only begun
And this is going to be a glorious unfolding
Just you wait and see and you will be amazed
We’ve just got to believe the story is so far from over
So hold on to every promise God has made to us
And watch this glorious unfolding
We were made to run through fields of forever
Singing songs to our Savior and King
So let us remember this life we’re living
Is just the beginning of the beginning
Of this glorious unfolding
We will watch and see and we will be amazed
If we just keep on believing the story is so far from over
And hold on to every promise God has made to us
We’ll see the glorious unfolding
Just watch and see (unfolding)
This is just the beginning of the beginning (unfolding)
Sentence Prayer
O Holy Spirit, descend plentifully into my
heart. Enlighten the dark corners of this
neglected dwelling and scatter there Thy
cheerful beams. Saint Augustine
