ONE NAME.

“Familiar names get our fists in the air, but only one name is better than life.” -Louie Giglio

Last week I had the priveldge of heading down to the dirty south with 2 car loads of some great friends to be a part of LIFT: A Worship Leader Collective put on by Passion City Church.  It was a CRAZY 2 days. We where in the car more than we where at the actual conference… haha… but holy cow did God speak.

In short, here’s something HE spoke to me:

I lead worship.  And most times I step on that stage knowing full well that most of my week i’ve been fighting a massive battle of affection.  I put so many names before the ONE NAME that matters most.  I sometimes get more excited about some Apple computer thing, or the Dave Matthews Band, or (insert some THING here).  You can read it in my twitter feed… it’s a streaming feed about my affections… good AND bad. :)

I WANT to keep JESUS at the center, I WANT to value HIM most, I WANT so bad to keep HIM at the center of my affections, but this crazy world we live in keeps sucking me back… to stuff, to things, to other people.

And if I had to guess… I bet you’re a lot like me. :)

“Familiar names get our fists in the air, but only one name is better than life.”

I pray for you, and for me, that ONE NAME will be above any other name.  That our lives, our tweets, our blogs, our very existence will point to JESUS.  

There is no one like our God, HE is LIFE, HE is LOVE, HE alone can SAVE.

cheers,
