This is a new feature replacing "Playing on the Radio", but will be similar because it will include music.  I will be sharing songs from my "Gospel Playlist" on my phone. The gospel is good news.  It reminds us what Christ has DONE for us.  As I share, I hope it will be an encouragement to you today.  Song today is:  Cornerstone by Aaron Shust

Today's song is a new one that we learned in our church a few weeks ago. It was a song picked for our Daughters of the King Event on February 27th. I love the words of the verses.  It also connected well with the tragedy that occurred in our community just days prior to this event.  Your love is devoted like a ring of solid gold Like a vow that is tested like a covenant of old Your love is enduring through the winter rain And beyond the horizon with mercy for today Faithful You have been and faithful You will be You pledge Yourself to me and it's why I sing (chorus) Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips You Father the orphan Your kindness makes us whole And You shoulder our weakness And Your strength becomes our own Now You're making me like You Clothing me in white Bringing beauty from ashes For You will have Your bride Free of all her guilt and rid of all her shame And known by her true name a...

When you mess up, how do you think God views you?  As you go through your day to day life, are you concerned if God likes you?  Do you wonder if He might be up in heaven mad at your for your lack of good works or your sinful thoughts or actions?  Many people see God as angry and if not angry, only putting up with them. Their view of God is dependent on how well they are doing. If they are doing well in loving others or in the spiritual disciplines, then God is happy.  However, if they are selfish or skipping devotional times, then God must be disappointed.  Others view difficult circumstances as punishment from God for their sin. As I was listening to the radio recently, I was amazed at a truth that quickly emerged.  This truth is my favorite Bible verse which is Romans 8:31.  It says, " What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Be reminded of this truth: God is for you.  No matter what happens today....

Awesome worship was led by Aaron Shust on Thursday.  I loved how he incorporated hymns in the morning with more contemporary music in the afternoon and evening.  He is a gifted worship leader.  Check out his site here Here are a few lyrics we sang today: "Your name is a strong and mighty tower. Your name is a shelter like no other....Cause nothing has the power to save but Your Name." "My Savior loves, my Savior lives My Savior's always there for me My God He was, my God He is My God He's always gonna be." My hope is in you Lord, all the day long I won't be shaken by drought or storm The peace that passes understanding is my song and I sing My hope is in You alone Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
