Walking with Jesus

Today my classmates and I were worshiping the Lord together and I had one of those moments... Perhaps you know those moments... You're singing in a group and suddenly you feel the presence of the Lord. It's a very experiential feeling: a chill, a separation from the world around, a feeling of clarity in your voice and power in your shoulders, a sense that your words have power (being created in the image of God). Suddenly, you realize that the overwhelming feeling in your chest is LOVE: love for God in particular, but also a recognition of love from  God.  Since I cannot share that moment with you, at least let me share the words we were singing. I pray that you too will experience those moments. However, even more than that, I pray that you will know the God who makes such moments known. May the Lord bless you today! One day when Heaven is filled with His praises One day when sin was as black as could be Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin Dwelt among men, my example is He

But the righteousness based on faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) “or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”        ~ Romans 10:6-11 ( ESV )   This song has been in my heart for years, probably since the first time I head it. It was the reason I bought the CD (back in the day before iTunes or even MP3 players). It was the reason I went to their concert when they were here in town several years ago. It's a simple message really... &q
