Get your worship on

The Challies and I had some really good times singing at the Resolved Conference. Tim, mourning the acousticness of the music at Grace, was pretty pumped about rocking out for Jesus. I even heard him muttering "get your worship on" a few times. I think we all need to "get our worship on." Lets talk about funky praise.

Can you feel that praise?

The End of Means

I was standing with my guitar the other day at Grace, listening to the Reformed Baptist pray . I thought, Man, this guy is uber eloquent. Then I looked and saw that he was reading from the Valley of Vision. Ah, I thought. I picked up my VoV tonight and fliped to a few pages from the back. I read this:

O My Lord,
May I arrive where means of grace cease
and I need no more to fast, pray, weep,
watch, be tempted, attend preaching and sacrament...

Heaven is so incomprehensible because all we know are his Means of Grace (some of which are listed in the passage above). These means point us to him. They reveal and represent parts of him and his glory. All of it will necessarily pass away when nothing stands between us and our eternal Father.

Easing in with some profound thoughts

Trying to ease back into regular blogging is not easy. I have been considering something lately. I was thinking that belts are the most filthy things ever. Right? Just think, whenever you are doing something after which you usually have to wash your hands, before you end up washing your hands, you touch your belt first. Worth thinking about maybe.
