Sick and Tired

I am sick and tired.
I am tired of all these lazy Christians.
I am tired of all the pretendin'.
I am tired of all them asking how I am and expecting a simple "fine."
But when I say how I really am
they stand and stare like they don't care.
I am tired of lazy Christians.
I am tired of Christians being more worried about getting "their pew"
and what someone is wearing or is not.
I am tired of Christians just sittin'
thinkin' like "I'm saved"
then go on their way.
Thinkin' that they are a good Christian because they punch in their Sunday time clock.
They pray some days and read the Bible every other day.
I'm tired of Christians thinkin' it's more about the Check list
than it is about the relationship.
Livin' like "Go make disciples" aint about them.
I'm tired of Christians thinkin' that Jesus commands make for a nice facebook status,
but don't let them transform their lives.
They don't take them to the streets and tell others of the hope, life, and freedom in Christ.
I am tired of lazy Christians
I am tired of Christians talkin' a big game and not showin' up
I am tired of Christians complaining, but not steppin' up.
I am tired of lazy Christians.
Christ didn't die so that we could sit.
Christ didn't rise so that we could live a hypocritical life.
Jesus didn't say "sit and have a pot luck and complain a bit."
He said "GO"
So go make disciples share the Hope of Christ
Stop being lazy.
Cause I am sick and tired of the lazy Christian life.

Hope Lives

Hope Lives pt. 1

I can't imagine my life without you
how do others do it?
They do not know what they are missing,
but that is why you send us
to tell others about you
about this Love that is unexplainable
this Love that has no bounds
this Grace and Mercy that is for all.
I am sorry that I have been so selfish with it.
I have kept you to my self and others are living with out with you,
the one I cannot live without.
But that changes now.
It changes today.
Give me the strength to not only speak of you
but of what you have done.
May you change lives through me.
Because you live Hope Lives.

Hope Lives pt. 2

You have Hope
Because Christ died for you!
Not only did the God of the universe die for you,
but the God of the universe conquered death, Christ rose
so that you may rise.
Hope Lives because Christ Lives.

I can't wait

I can’t wait for the day when I will see my savior face to face

No more pain, no more sorrow

Just love and grace

I cannot wait to see my savior face to face

While Christ brought hope to our world for here and now

There will come a time where this hope abounds in an undeniable way

The whole earth will tremble as they say the name.

I cannot wait to see my savior face to face

I cannot wait to be with all my family praising the one who gives us life together,

No miles, seas, or oceans between us.

I cannot wait to worship my savior face to face

I cannot wait to laugh in the presence of his undeniable grace

I cannot wait to ask my savior the questions I have been longing to know the answer to

Like did they have animal races in the garden, and did Jesus ever pull pranks

Oh the joy that fills my heart to think of the day I get to see my saviors face!

While now I cannot see my saviors face

I see the grace

I live into this hope that lives because Christ died and defeated death being raised from the grave on that third day.

I see my savior, my creator in the creation around me

I see my savior in the trees, the strong winds, and the light breeze

I see my savior in the people I meet

I see my savior every Sunday as we gather to worship as one body

This is just a glimpse of what is to come.

Oh man I cannot wait to see my saviors face!
