Ear Worms

Have you ever had a song stuck in your head for days? I'm told that's called an ear worm.

Well I've had this song stuck in my head for a few weeks now. It's by Brenton Brown and Ken Riley called "Everlasting God." The part that keeps playing over and over in my head is the phrase "Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord." It also may be stuck in my head because I keep hearing it played on the Christian radio station.

The song has also been a reassuring message for me.

For the past few weeks the church I serve has been in a discerning process, trying to determine the direction God is calling us toward. It's an exciting time and an anxious time for me. This song reminds me that I need to focus first on the Lord and in doing so, I'll find the Lord's strenght carrying me (and us) through whatever comes.

If you haven't heard the song, I encourage you to check it out, but be careful - you just might end up with an ear worm too!

What direction is your church calling you? My guess is out. Reach out, not up, not in, not over, but out. Always out. That's why Jesus was homeless; he never wanted to just stay in.

By the way, cool blog, dude!

Many of the mainline churches are struggling with this very challenge - going into the world. But God's Spirit is stirring, and I pray we are all faithful to the call to go!
