But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. (Matthew 28:5-6 ESV) The empty tomb is one of the easily forgotten parts of scripture. But […]
It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, while the sun’s light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this […]
It’s been a busy last few days. Between meeting with a lot of people (mostly on vtONE stuff), two tests no one was prepared for, and a random afternoon in Roanoke, I’ve kept busy. Here’s a short recap: Monday: studying for numerical methods test Tuesday: numerical methods test, two homework assignments that I wasn’t aware […]
Last night’s vtONE worship event was awesome. God was there, people were excited, and I feel that people left challenged. Even though we were probably the least prepared we had been in several events, God provided and things came together. The night opened up with Isaac (Chi Alpha campus minister) leading two acoustic sets that […]
Interesting thought that I’ve felt is true in my life this morning from John. He writes: There is a very interesting line in Psalm 37. It reads, “Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart.” A lot of people interpret this verse incorrectly. They say that as long […]
I feel like God is getting ready to do something huge here, and I’m excited. It’s both intimidating and encouraging, but today especially, I’ve felt very encouraged by the people around me. Special shout outs (in order of my primary interaction with them) to Josh, the vtONE team, Isaac, Sno, and Michael. You guys rock. […]
I just got my Passion: Everything Glorious CD in the mail today. I’ve already listened to the whole thing, and it’s like being back there. Tracks that I especially like include How Marvelous (Chris Tomlin), We Are Yours (Charlie Hall), Everything Glorious (David Crowder*Band), and Our God Reigns (Chris Tomlin & Matt Redman). I especially […]
I’m one of the main contributors on a new blog about vtONE, found at http://www.vt-one.com/. Leading up to the vtONE worship event next Saturday, I am blogging about the four themes of vtONE: repentance, prayer, worship, unity. Notice the new order. I believe those four themes are a process. To be ready to do any […]
Just a simple request for you to pray for me. I have several big things going on right now–I’m in over my head, getting spiritually attacked, and I am in need of God’s assistance. Please pray for strength and endurance–this next week is going to be an interesting one. I know that God will come […]
I just discovered that since March 17 I’ve spent 13 hours talking on my cell phone. That’s pretty amazing, since my previous phone (which crapped out on me) which I got it June had just over 83 hours on it when I got it replaced. I averaged about 9 hours a month with that phone, […]
