The Song of Moses

Jonathan Storment — Wed, 16 May 2012 14:30:59 +0000

A good preacher friend of mine made the point recently that the first thing we read that the Israelites took with them when they left Egypt was a tambourine. Not snack packs for the road, or camelpaks, a tambourine. So they're not the best campers in the world, but they were right about this. When you realize how big what God is up to in the world actually is, then the most appropriate response is to worship.

Money Does Buy Happiness (just not the way you think)

We have all heard a million times that money can't buy you happiness. But that's kind of wrong. The thing that we forget about money is that, at least according to Jesus, money is not just some neutral commodity. It is a principality and power, and it can be used for great good or great harm.

A Restoration Movement

So this past weekend at the Highland Church of Christ, we talked about the vision for Highland for the next 10 years of her existence. It was the product of 18 months of the staff and shepherd praying, fasting and discerning what we would be about of the next decade. And we are doing it all to partner with God in his dream of Restoration. We're calling it A Restoration Movement.

The War in Heaven

f I had to summarize Revelation in one sentence it would be that what happens on earth matters in Heaven, and what happens in Heaven matters on earth. God is fighting a cosmic battle, he's dealing fully and finally with evil in all it's forms. And part of the point of Revelation is that we aren't just spectators, God's people are warriors...but in a very different way, in a very different war.

Memento Mori

So when I was a junior in college, I got a chance to study in and travel around Europe. by far, the most disturbing, and memorable stop in that city was the Capuchin Crypt. It was a monastery that began in the early 17th century. And it was filled with art, but the art was made of the bones of the monks who had died there .It was a little dark.
