Romans 8:28

(via peytonsuzanne)

“A rescued man actually does love God with all his heart, soul, mind, and strength, and as a result he seeks to love his neighbor as himself. A rescued man is a man whose love for God is growing holistically—in his affections, in his thoughts, in his motives, in his passions, in his duties, and in every area of his life. He is also a man who demonstrates a growing love for other people by sacrificing himself for others and laying down his life for their good. In short, a rescued man is growing in genuine love for God and neighbor.”

—‘Church Planter’, by Darrin Patrick

Last week we went to see the civil wars, with the staves. One of the most amazing shows I’ve ever been to. I’ve never seen such a large group of people in one place be so absolutely still, and quiet while they were playing and roaring in between songs.

Our friend Steve Coleman took this amazing picture at the show.

This is mainly for me. Writing new music makes me look back on the old. I loved this song and its message. It was called the view from up here. I was toying with doing a cover of it, but we’ll see how close i can get to it.

Oh travaler, oh teacher

come find me at my lowest

on the highest branch of the tree

I’ve heard of wonders that spill from your fingertips

and yet you seek me

though I am not without the sting of imperfection

what makes my stature greater

what makes me stand straighter

if you could set aside my defiled hands

you could have everything in my heart

but will the world still look at me as a crooked man

judge me not by my works but the intentions of my heart
