WHY DO WE SING?

“Why do we sing?” This question has been the foundation of the David Crowder*Band Fantastical Church Music Conference (CFCMC for short) that just wrapped up a few hours ago.  I couldn’t think of a better reason to gather, discuss, and learn than over a question as vast or profound as this one.

CHRISTMAS AS AN ADOPTIVE DAD//

There are things that just change the way you live… Moving, new jobs, getting married… These are change a lot of things, but kids… seem to have the power beyond them all. I’d always wanted to be a dad, but 12 months about I had no idea what it would actually mean. Sure I expected […]

MY VIEWS ON TODAY’S ABORTION PROTESTS//

As we drove in this morning to visit Isaac in the NICU, Michigan Street (SR 31 through South Bend) was littered with protesters over President Obama’s stance on stem cell research and abortion as well as his receiving an honorary degree from a Catholic institution.

EASTER*//

I’m starting to see how the insanely complex concept of EASTER can really be boiled down to just a few simple things. EASTER IS ABOUT HOPE. JESUS WON A BATTLE FOR YOU ON EASTER. WE ARE ALL CHOSEN ON EASTER. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ9t950bfm8&hl=en&fs=1] Our spiritual adoption is something for which we sign on the line.  It’s not […]
