Love or Law

I have been thinking. I know that's scary. Lol. I have been thinking about the passage where jesus tells the crowd that if anyone forces you to go one mile with him then go two.

I have heard that this passage is talking about the roman soldiers. By law they could ask anyone to carry their things for one mile. They were not suppose to force them to go any farther. So in a sense Jesus was asking them to break the law for the sake of love.

So my question is an ethical question. Do you take food if loved ones are starving? Hmmm let me hear what you think.

Music

For the past few months and maybe longer if I really want to admit it, I have been feeling a calling to music. Now I am throwing this out there in fear of being wrong, but I think God is leading me into playing music for people. I guess we in this culture would call it a worship leader, but I am not to found of that term. I don't think that I can lead anyone into worship. I think that they have to choose to enter into that worship and that that worship should be done 24/7. Now this could be done with music or spoken word or even silence. I don't think that any person with a guitar or piano or a mic should bear the burden of whether or not you want to worship our Creator. Ok so now that we understand each other lol.....

I feel the Spirit leading me to play music for others corporately. I feel this is my gift back to the Church and to our Savior. I also believe that this is a place that I can speak. Whether it is through a pray or through words that I sing. I don't know how this works. This is all new to me. I don't know where I begin. All I know is my heart is yerning to play for people. So I guess if anyone knows of a church or a camp that needs someone to play for them let me know. Here is a new song that God gave me.

Revolution

Injustice strikes from all around
Oppression always tries to keep us down
But God we want your kingdom come
God we want your will to be done

We want a revolution
We want to change this place
We want a revelation
We want you, we want you

So use our hands Use our feet
God lead us out into the street
To show your love all around
T show this place where true love is found

We want a revolution
We want to change this place
We want a revelation
We want you, we want you

God won't you come, won't you come, won't you come
God won't you come, won't you come, won't you come
God won't you come, won't you come, won't you come
God won't you come, won't you come, won't you come

Let me know what you think.

Hauling A all Day every Day

Well Monday was my first day that I didn't have to go to the PowerHouse. I still went and volunteered which I hope to do every evening. Hauling A (the Amish hauling biz) is going well. I have my first big trip coming up this Friday. I will be going to Fort Wayne for 2 nights and 3 days. It will be sweet. They pay for the trip down and back and also put me and my wife up in a hotel. Sounds like a pretty sweet gig. The best part is I get to spend the whole weekend with my wonderful wife.

I am learning a lot about myself through all this job changing process. I have learned that I really do love money. I have used it as a crutch or even a discouragement instead of just following Jesus. I would ask money if I could do things instead of just going for it.

I am also learning that I need more of Jesus. It's weird that we don't realize that until something goes wrong or needs fixing. I really believe that we need to put our selves into positions to need Him. I don't want to get back to the spot where I can use money instead of Jesus. I don't want to be at the spot where I use my own abilities instead of Jesus using me the way He wants to. I want to be the foolish thing that God uses to shame the wise. I mean look at me. I am a 23 year old Amish Hauler and God is using me to talk to kids, teens, adults, and elderly. How great is that. I don't have a degree. I have no certificate. I am not ordained by any man or organization. And God is using me. Wow. I have no reasons or proof to boast about my self for anything. LOL that is amazing.

God is good. So go and give it all away, its the Christian Way.
