Faithful One (Brian Doerksen)

The song is originally performed by Andy Park in one of his Vineyard albums. I’ve always wanted to sing this during praise and worship in our church but for some reasons we couldn’t get it right. Notice the bold declaration of faith in the chorus. Makes me want to sing this over and over.

Look At Me In The Eye!

I was reading Rick Warren’s Ministry Toolbox blog a while ago and was struck with this verse he quoted. It was about the rich young ruler who came to Jesus looking for advise on what he should do to inherit eternal life.

Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Mark 10: 21

Finding Your Purpose

“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.’”

Estimating God

Many Christians estimate difficulty in the light of their own resources, and thus they attempt very little, and they always fail. All giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on his power and his presence to be with them.

Red Hot Temptation

My pastor once said that the battle for purity is won when the issue of passion is resolved in your heart, or something along those lines. I’m not really good at remembering smart lines like that but the truth behind those words simply struck me.

Oftentimes church people counsel young men (and some women) to battle lust by memorizing Scriptures, taking a cold shower, taking a walk, or simply walking away from a tricky situation. I know some of them sound silly but if it works with other people, then I’m not complaining.
