This morning I was listening to The White Horse Inn podcast continuing a conversation about the Kingdom of God.  While this post isn’t about the Kingdom necessarily, I wanted to get some thoughts out about supernatural occurrences some churches long for as evidence of the Holy Spirit being in their midst.

I have had the opportunity to fellowship with several different types of congregations which has given my family and I some real insight into the different interpretations of corporate worship.  I feel like God through the Holy Spirit works miracles everyday, and in the past have desired strongly a supernatural experience of God’s presence in my life and that of the church.  However, what I have since realized is that no sign, wonder, healing, financial breakthrough, blessing, etc, compares to the miracle of faith, conversion, regeneration, and sanctification.  In short.  The greatest miracle we as believers can experience is that of our own belief and the belief of our brethren.

So today friend, you reading this, if you aren’t a believer in Jesus Christ, you probably never plan to be.  It’s not something you can plan, it isn’t something you can figure out.  If and when you come to faith, it will be a miracle…

“I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.” Philippians 4:11 

Contentment is the being satisfied with the sovereign dispensations of God’s providence. It is the opposite of murmuring, which is the spirit of rebellion—the clay saying to the Potter, “Why have You made me thus?” Instead of complaining at his lot—a contented man is thankful that his condition and circumstances are no worse than they are.

Some of you know I’ve dabbled in music for a while now but never put out any of my OWN music.  I’ve struggled with doing hip hop for a while now.  A distorted desire and abition definitely made me leery of touch the mic for a while.  Though through conversation with my wife and brothers I hold dear I’ve resolved myself to put out some music that I can feel good about.

I hope I can share something with you soon though I’ve devised a way of getting feedback some of you might be interested in.  It’s called Beta Test Music.

I am left amazed by what God has done and continues to do in his people.  I had the chance to talk with my man Wes (Pendulum) Pendleton about a myriad of things pertaining to music, ministry, and most importantly the faith we share in Christ.  He is one of many I am grateful for.

What am I grateful for exactly?  This is been a reoccurring thought in the past few days.  I’ve been evaluating how much stock I put in the different relationships I have.  I have 311 friends on facebook… (I had to look that up as I rarely login to facebook anymore).  What I am getting at is the hard truth that there are many people that I don’t have a relationship with.  The most meaningful relationships in my life are those with people who are interested in me, not because of what I can do for them, but solely because of what they can do for me and vice versa.

My desire is to truly serve my friends well.  My enemies also, but this post is about friends.  I find that I cannot have real conversations with people I am fearful of offending.  This comes from not feeling a true relationship with them.  Therefore I won’t even pursue conversation with some people.  Though I have a true desire to develop my relationships even further.  I pray God would help me in this, that my life would glorify him by me freely sharing my life and joy in Christ with others, regardless of presumption or circumstance.

Sorry for rambling, it’s late for me…
