New Attitude 2008 - Couldn't Go?

"Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O Lord, God of hosts."

~Jeremiah 15:16 (ESV)

New attitude is a conference held annually by Sovereign Grace Ministries for singles and young married couples. At the conference, folks enjoy four days of passionate (and loud!) worship in song, WORLD CLASS messages, solid Biblical truth, fellowship, and challenge toward application.

This year, the theme is one we all need--one I know I need desperately: God's Word. Let's be honest--okay, I'll start: Compared to what it should be and in light of what Christ has done, my passion for and pursuit of Christ stinks. I deparately need deeper delight in God's Word! There's no hiding--there's no one who "has it all together," and the furthest person to that high of character is me.

So, I need these messages and can't wait to be challenged and provoked by them. Couldn't make it to this year's conference? The messages will be available as they go! Join me in listening in...

We Love You, Jesus

I have really come to love this song by Shane & Shane. I was aware of the band prior to hearing this song this year, but was not aware of how rich their content is and how gifted these two guys are.

This song puts forth a strong statement that draws one's attention toward gratefulness. Truly we have endless reasons for which we can say, "We love You, Jesus, for so many reasons!!" He has died and risen again as He promised to make salvation free and available to all. And on top of that, He saves "so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:7).

You can hear a sample here, or download the song in full from iTunes. I hope you're blessed by it.
