Our Trip to Georgia

At the beginning of the month Courtney and I were asked to speak at a True Love Waits banquet in Newnan, Ga. We had a blast seeing old friends, new friends, and everyone in between. We were able to talk to about 70-80 kids and their parents and just share our story and offer encouragement. It was awesome. Since the banquet was on Sunday, that meant we had Saturday to just hang out. So we did... in the woods... on ATV's.... shooting guns... hilarious. Check it out...

Hilarious Video

I know this video has absolutely nothing to do with worship, but it is seriously hilarious. I've been laughing about this for awhile now... I really hope I have the video camera handy when I take my kids to the dentist one day... Check it out...

simple... right?

Sometimes we really screw up religion. We try to make it what we want it to be instead of trying to look at things through God's eyes. This narrows it down, check it out:

James 1:27 - Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

James, Jesus' bro, lays out 3 things that our Heavenly Father accepts as "pure and faultless" religion. 1. To look after orphans. 2. To look after widows. 3. To not be polluted by the world. It seems simple right? You know that saying, "easier said, than done" yeah, that can be applied here. This passage screams at us to break out of our comfort zones. To stop living comfortably. We must take care of those in need, we must not let ourselves become corrupt with the standards of our modern day. We're called to higher standards. If we let the world seep into our walk and take over, then from this passage we learn that it then becomes impure and full of fault. Don't make it a show, instead be different. Be who God wants you to be. Start trying to see things through his eyes. This passage really put things into perspective for me this morning and I just wanted to share it.

Brandon Heath's Give Me Your Eyes should be our prayer today as we focus on seeing the world through God's eyes and striving to live life by His standards alone. Check it out below:
