The art of screaming

Ah screaming, don't you just love it? Whether it's little kids who want something, a cry of pain, or a battle-cry, screaming is one of those annoying little constants that we don't really think about...but we know that when someone screams, something's up.

I recently found a band called Jonah 33, and I LOVE their song 'Scream'.

there are the lyrics to the song, please at the very least read them, or listen to the song.

"Scream at the top of your lungs if you're ready to die tonight for what you believe!"
Them's finghtin words right there, and, as Christians, I think we need 'fightin words' more often in our lives.
But it's far to easy and human to say something and mean it, but to never follow through with it.

So go ahead! Let loose a scream! Let the world know that you're ready to die for what you believe...Trust me, they'll listen.

What's yours?

I recently read watched a commercial that said "So come and share your individuality with people just like you!" Yeah pretty funny, but it got me thinking...

What is individuality anyway? MW defines it as something that sets you apart and distinguishes you from others. You know how true that quote should be to Christian's? We SHOULD share individuality with others, ALL CHRISTIANS (not just Pentecostals) should be so alike and attuned to God and each other, that the world can't help but notice that we ARE different. And that we are unified.

One thing that really bugs me that Pentecostals seem to believe is that you must be baptized or be seeking the Holy Spirit in order to be a Christian. NOWHERE IN SCRIPTURE does it say this! The Holy Spirit is totally real, no doubts whatsoever, but you do not 'need' him to be saved. Just think about that for a minute...

Got to go get ready for the last softball game of the year! It'd be nice to go out with a win...

We leave for National FAF next Sunday! I'm SO STOKED for what God gonna do that week. But also, that morning, My worship band is playing at the Wood County Fair service. I am anticipating God touching lives there!
