Was just brought to tears at the end of this sermon, “Does God Control Everything?” by Tim Keller. You are missing some Flash content that should appear here! Perhaps your browser cannot display it, or maybe it did not initialize correctly. Listen to the whole thing, but the part I’m talking about starts just after the 35:00 mark. “Don’t think of the love of God abstractly. Jesus is the love of God.” “All the greatest forces in the universe were arrayed against Jesus. And he could have stopped them. He could have stopped the rejection, he could have stopped the torture, he could have stopped the death, he could have stopped the rejection of his Father, he could have stopped the eternal justice coming down on his head. All he had to do was give up on us. Thats all he had to do. Just walk away.” “Charles Spurgeon said, ‘Jesus Christ was up on the cross, nailing, bleeding, dying, looking down on the people betraying him, and forsaking him, and denying him and in the greatest act of love in the history of the universe, HE STAYED!’” “Bomb after bomb after bomb was coming down on Jesus Christ trying to get him to drop us, to separate him from us. And even Hell itself couldn’t do it. He stayed. Nothing can seperate him from us. His love from us. He held on to us. He was our Savior. He died for us. Now thats how you know that nothing can seperate you from the love of God.” “If he wouldn’t abandon you then, he wont abandon you now.” “This is the love you’ve been looking for all your life.”

Ghost Ship - “Poison Tree”

Mars Hill Church Downtown Seattle band, Ghost Ship, put out a new record today. Only four songs, but man, they weigh a ton. The best track is the last on the record called “Poison Tree.” Does a great job of providing images for ones own sin. A great song to sing for confession and to remember our initial cry for forgiveness in the name of Christ.

This tree bears strange fruit 
Blood on the leaves, it’s dead at the roots 
The cracked grey branches are decaying within 
Just like the black poison that hangs from it’s limbs 

Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots 
Rip the deadness out, and plant something new 
I am alive, I will abide 
In the life giving blood of Christ 

I tried to tie good fruit 
To a tree that had poison all the way through 
It rotted and fell off, it was dead at the core 
It even killed the ground, I was worse than before 

I am alive, I will abide 
In the life giving blood of Christ 
I’m grafted in, You’ve killed my sin 
Now I can live, I’ll live in him 

Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots 
Rip the deadness out.

“ Vagueness about the object of our praise inevitably leads to making our own praise the object. Praise therefore becomes and end in itself, and we are caught up in our own ‘worship experience’ rather than in the God whose character and acts are the only proper focus.
