Quotes from my pastor:
"Do you believe in God or are you in relationship with him?"
"And God is a God of celebration, our christian life is meant to be a huge celebration!"
Henri Nouwen "I realize that I am not used to the image of God throwing a big party. It seems to contradict the solemnity and seriousness I have always attached to God. But when I think about the ways in which Jesus describes God's kingdom, a joyful banquet is often at its center. Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven with a wedding feast offered by the King to his son..."Look my banquet is all prepared my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, everything is ready. Come to the wedding."...This invitation to a meal is an invitation to intimacy with God."
My question for everyone....Are you living joyfully in the secure intimacy of a relationship God? Do you realize that each day is a celebration-God is a FUN God who loves LAUGHTER!!!!
And my favorite new artist Jon Foreman: http://www.myspace.com/jonforeman
(who I also got to see perform at an intimate concert thanks to my good friend Amy!)
"Your Love is Strong"
"Why should I worry, why do I freak out, God knows what I need, you know what I need. ...Two things you told me, that you are strong and you love me, yes you love me...your love is, your love is, strong, your love is your love is strong......your love is your love is your love is strong.....your love is your love is strong....Your kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in heaven!"-jon foreman
And to add to that this was the last song he sang in his set to a group of film makers at the Tribeca film fest...what an inspiration!
