The truth is a river...

One of my favorite song lyrics is from the Caedmon's Call song "Beautiful Mystery" which states:

The truth is a river
where the strong can swim down deep
and the weak and the broken
can walk across so easily...

It never fails that the truth of the gospel is something that goes to the core of all of us, whether we grew up in Sunday Schools, VBS's, and Christian homes, or whether we saw yesterday for the first time who Jesus was and tasted what grace he offered.

This last Sunday, the Youth of our church were able to perform a skit that I have absolutely loved since the first time that I saw it. It's making the rounds on YouTube and GodTube, and if you want to see the real skit just go to God Tube and put in "Lifehouse everything" in the search engine.

Here is the version we were able to do at our church. This took place in our church's fellowship hall. We have 2 services in the morning, and about 130 people saw this skit in our contemporary service. Sorry it's so dark, we're still trying to improve the lighting in that room :).

We were especially excited to get to do this on the heels of a big festival type event at our church for our community, and we did the best we could to try to give the gospel, without other stuff, to the people there that morning. Some of whom had never, or hadn't in a long time, darkened the doors of a church. God continues to convict me about all the stuff I need big time help with, and also encourage me with the truth that he molds me and makes me, it's not up to me.
