If This Doesn’t Light your FIRE… your wicks wet!

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

-John Calvin Coolidge

That’s Fresh

Fuse* in GVL happened for the 1st time last night… and Davey Blackburn did a great job with this concept— and the execution— More to come for sure!

In my humble opinion

This is the stylistic direction that communicates to the next generation….

Hey, let me be honest…

i’m a white boy from rural Hendersonville, NC— i was raised in Church…. AND THE HIP/HOP & RAP STYLE DOMINATED MY FORMATIVE YEARS… Bottom-line…

Listen to the Truth in this song… See and hear all the stylistic influences… Then evaluate

Does your worship go here??
Have you considered it??
Are your personal preferences a limiting factor??
Are you okay with an entire generation being lost to worshipping the True Savior b/c we are too comfortable in our stylistic approach to worship?

New Series… GVegas Fuse*… Interns…

A creative and simple solution

*What THIS Guarantees:

-Publishers will hate this…
-Suppliers will too…
-The “Haves” and “Have Nots” are NOT defined by their upbringing… educational background… or bank account…

-Knowledge is free flowing to all who would acquire…

-Ignorance is diminished…

-More people have access to truth…

-The Church could/should learn to open source resources…

*Who in the Christian world is doing this well??

*How could we do this better?

*What is keeping the Church from moving ahead with an open source approach?

What is the Gospel?

So many times i have been confronted with someone who claims to be a “Christian”… or “goes to church”… or is “an American” or defines themselves as “Christian” on facebook….

The Problems:

1) The way Christianity is defined differs depending on who you talk to…

2) The Biblical definition does not differ…

So how do you define CHRISTIAN???

Here is one of the most concise yet thorough definitions of what it means to be a Christian i’ve ever heard….

God does not want us to be confused about the Truth of the Gospel.

Whoops…

Hey that’s what one guy said….

Christians have been called to “love your neighbor as yourself…” how is that message being heard?!
