A couple of weeks ago I posted a youtube video from Hillsong. It has come to my attention that the author of the song was faking his terminal illness. Here is the article explaining it.
I am still a huge fan of Hillsong. I feel very badly especially for his wife and kids. I still believe every word that was written under false pretenses. Despite his obvious delusional state, every word he or someone who wrote that song “Healer” says about our God is true.
Studying for my camp messages and a friend of mine told me about this video. I am not sure why, maybe to boost my confidence or keep me from preaching a similar message to 6th graders. Either way it’s a crazy video all I can say is WOW.
(Brief disclaimer if you are in Bible College – Watch this video and do the exact opposite of what he does)
I came across this video from a couple of my blogger buddies, Jason and Gareth. Wow! Powerful stuff very moving. If you can watch the following videos and not be moved your God is to small.
The first video talks about what you will see in the second video make sure you watch both. Very moving. We truly serve a supernatural God. Never forget that.
Story behind The song
Song performed live at Hillsong.
Better late than never! This one always cracks me up.
Have a great weekend.
I know, I know I am starting to sound like a Hillsong groupie. I saw this video last week and was blown away. It is a fantastic, fun, out of the box camp promo. It is a great take on how guys view camp vs. how girls view camp. I would say that I am drinking Hillsongs’ cool-aid but that analogy hits to close to home for religious institutions. Needles to say I am a huge Hillsong fan, I love that they successfully think outside the box and realize that if doing things different is what it takes to reach seekers than so be it. Definitely have to visit some time and look up Dave and his crew.
Here is the highlight reel from my latest wedding. Michelle yours is next!
My good friend Gareth posted this video I have to agree as a fellow Apple coolaid drinker who loves everything they do . I love this commercial. If you are wondering 11 days till the new Coldplay record comes out.
I love Hillsong because they love the local church they love those far from God and they are innovative. They push the limits we wrongly put on church and reap huge rewards. I also think their mantra of loyalty to the past commitment to the future is brilliant. Hillsong inspires me to love God more and love others more and do it in an innovative way.
I am always blown away by what Hillsong does with their kids ministry. Every year when they release their new kids worship DVD they always take it to a level that children’s ministry rarely sees. Thank you Dave and the team at Hillsong, thank you for challenging each of us do extraordinary things for our extraordinary King.
Here is the opening to their 2007 Conference. I LOVE IT.

Here is a video where Jim Carrey talks about Canada. Why is he so funny?
What is true beauty.
I have worked with young people for many years and one of the the things that drives me crazy is how so often we allow beauty to be defined for us and to us by the media.
I am not a media hater by any means. I think media is powerful, but as we learned from uncle Ben “With great power comes great responsiblity.” I think that many media outlets are not using their power responsibly.
Magazines paint (literally and figuratively) images in the minds of girls of what they can never obtain outside of photoshop and boys an image of perfection that is not based in reality.
I will keep my comments to a pointed minimum since it is youtube friday but check out these links to read more.
