Happy Father's Day to all. This morning my family and I rocked out to praise tunes at Brand New Church in Harrison AR. The whole thing was like a concert, or for the religiously inclined it was like Church Camp. For all who care too much about what style of music to worship to just think about love. These people, the whole congregation was loving and dying to know my family and I. That is what truly matters.
For me, I dress down to go to Church. I feel that God looks at the heart and mine is only wanting to be authentic with him. Coming to Jesus as I am and nothing more. How many times in the Bible were people criticized for hearts and not what they were doing? How many times did God have to speak through a prophet and condemn his people because of their hearts? They were still "doing" the Godly things like offering sacrifices and celebrating significant religious holidays, but they did them out of routine. Something's changing in me.
I saw a, what appeared to be, homeless man standing at and exit off the highway tonight. I wanted to give him money, but I thought it would only solve his symptom of homelessness. So what can I do to solve the problem of his homelessness? I can talk with him, buy him some food, listen, give him a blanket, try to give advice. I wish I had a business where I could give him a job, but that is not my lot in his life. What is? What am I supposed to do, and do I have what it takes to see to it till it's over?

Thanks for visiting Brand New Church this weeekend! Be sure to check out our iCampus at 11am or 5pm if you want to experience BNC every weekend but can't make it down from Springfield. :)
Your thoughts at the end of this post reminded me of what Craig said today at the end of his message about the church coming together...definitely a challenge for us all.
BTW, the drawings are awesome...look forward to keeping up with the blog.
