Hearts For Sale

Blog5 CommentsComments_Bubble

heart-for-sale

With house prices plummeting, there’s a lot of real estate available out there these days. Savvy buyers have their eyes open looking to snap up cheaper homes. But buyers in the know are looking for properties that have resilient value. And in California one type of property often wins this race. The beachfront home. This is what the experienced buyer is looking for.

With all this going on, I felt reminded by the Lord a few days ago, that the real estate He is really interested in, is my heart. Often I think, I appear to him, like a desperate realator, trying to pitch him real estate that both He and I know is worthless. I try my best to convince myself and God, that what He’s really interested in is other people’s opinions of me. Or perhaps the promises I bring to Him. Or even the rituals I offer him - especially the ‘holy’ looking ones. I try sell him the activities and actions that seem like they must come from a holy heart. But He’s both smarter and kinder than that. He’s looking beyond all these ‘properties’ for the one thing He is really interested in, the one thing he’s made for eternity. Beyond our offerings of holiness, our attempts at pleasing him, the Lord is after our affection, our love, our dreams, our worship. And of course, what distinguishes Him from many of the people we will meet in this life, is the fact that He really is more interested in our hearts than anything we could do for Him. This is the real estate He’s interested in, and for me, it is often the hardest one to let go of. But He’s quite clear that He’s not really up for subletting, or renting, or even subdividing. He wants our whole heart. And the reward in letting Him have it, of course, is seeing what He does with the place…!!

May God bless you as you offer up your life and your heart to the one who made it. Amen.

News Flash

news_flash

Hello Bloglunders!! Things have been moving along quite sharply in the Brown household. We are right in the middle of signing some pretty cool and important record business stuff which will have some really nice implications for our lives in the States. I can’t wait to let everyone know about it. As soon as it’s all official, those of you who peruse these pages reasonably frequently will no doubt be the first to hear the news…

In the mean time, if you’re a regular round here you may have noticed the sterling work the SkörInc boys have done on the layout changes. Basically we’ve shimmied things around to make more room for questions and answers about worship….enter ‘The Worship Lounge’ stage right. We’ll keep a running video tab of answers we can think of, to questions any of you might raise, on the right hand side of the page. The practical questions on music and leading worship we will answer straight up and ASAP. The more theological concerns you might have, we will farm out to people with bigger brains than ours, of which there are many. In the mean time, please fire away. There’s a little question box on the right that you can use to fill out your questions if you have any.

That is all the news we can share so far. I have nothing else to report except that I really, really love summer and am very grateful it’s come back again!

Everlasting God At NAMM

Just caught this clip on Youtube. Lincoln and the guys playing Everlasting God at Namm 2009. Really amazing to see them doing their thing in the middle of the biggest music trade show around. Incredible sense of God’s presence in the middle of all of that.

Leave Your Questions Here….

Questions19 CommentsComments_Bubble

tips

Hey everyone! So here’s an idea i’ve been mulling over for a while… At a lot of our gigs, worship leaders and musicians come up to us after the evening is over to ask us questions about our gear, our line up, and also pastoral questions about leading worship and leading worship teams. In response I’ve wondered about letting this little blog page serve as a little post gig cafe where the boys and I can answer questions any of you might have on music and leading groups of people in sung worship.

Instead of just launching into our tips on worship leading, I thought we could try and answer a worship question a week - maybe more questions if we’re feeing particularly industrious. So if you have a question you’d like us to discuss, and hopefully something as a casual cyber community we might discuss together, file it below. We will try to answer every question, but may choose the easy ones first!! We may also ask people with bigger brains than our own to answer too. At some point the boys from Skörinc will probably work out a clever filing system so we can access previous answers easily and you can post your questions easily too. Alright…. start your engines….
