a new perspective.

this morning i am beginning to read through the book of Mark – and just in the first 2 chapters i am struck with a new perspective.

Jesus is always on the move and focused on those that do not know him.

in the first chapter he his healing people and moving from town to town and encouraging people to keep it quiet about him and just declare the kingdom is now. and at one point, in verse 17 of chapter 2, Jesus is eating with the ‘sinners and tax collectors’ and the religious ones of the day confront him on it. and Jesus so simply and clearly says he his here to help those that are sick. those that are well have no need for a physician.

reading this passage really challenges me and excites me at the same time. i know i spend not enough time declaring the kingdom to those who do not know it. and not in some crusading, over-bearing way – no – more like a whisper of the story and movement of God. this morning i am challenged and looking forward to see how i can begin to write my story with this at the front as a new perspective.

new music

jda — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:47:12 +0000

as most of you know i am a sucker for new music. i mean, lets go ahead and call it an outright addiction. at any rate, here are 4 artists that have been inspiring me and i think you should hear:

1. Jon Hopkins, Insides = amazing electronic and ambient music
2. Ben Sollee = a singer/songwriter that plays the cello as his main instrument
3. Daniel Merriweather, Love and War = the man has soul like no one else and sings like he’s from the motown era, except he’s white and from australia
4. Derek Webb, Stockholm Syndrome = so not a new artist, but you need to listen to this new album; a new direction musically and continuing to push the envelope lyrically
