Evan Olsen - Intercessory Missionary: Why I... →
evanolsen:
Yesterday I sat in a room filled with hundreds of college students and Tallahassee residents listening to Rick Santorum speak from his heart about why he is running for president, and why America needs to change. My heart and mind were moved to agree with his beliefs. It solidified my…

What An Answered Prayer Looks Like →
michaelarae:
There are some days that I feel so overwhelmed by all the change. But the truth is, learning to be flexible in life and to love the challenges it brings is perhaps the most valuable lesson of all. Really, it’s the lesson of learning to trust.
Learning to trust has meant…
Learning to hold familiarity lightly & at the same time appreciate it more. Learning to mean what I...

new years
i think my new years resolution this year (yes i know its early) is to become prolific in witnessing and praying for random scary looking (yes THAT GUY muttering to himself in the corner with worn clothes that smells really bad) people, to the point that it makes everyone around me uncomfortable. that is exactly what Jesus did (love the unwanted/awkward/rejected/despised), so that’s what...

All Creatures
“All Creatures of our God and King, lift up your voice and let us sing! O Praise Him! O Praise Him! Alleluia. Creation sent to me the centipede to witness the complexity of one hundred legs that were moving unexpectedly, ironically, just as they were meant to be theyre fearfully and wonderfully made; An organism praised in circadian rhythms: the sun will rise and then the sun will set, and...

How 3-5 seconds can bolster virtue within you →
evanolsen:
This article is a gem. It talks about the 3-5 second window we have where we can say yes or no to temptation. It also hits on how we can practically avoid temptation. Oh, and it’s vintage, so it should appeal to you hipsters.

Why God Desires 24/7 Worship
evanolsen:
We just recently finished 24 hours of non-stop worship this weekend at the missions base. It was incredible. Nine different worship teams from local churches and ministries ministered to the Lord Friday and Saturday as we offered Jesus a 24-hour offering of adoration.
I strongly believe that God desires 24/7 worship and prayer to be found all over the earth. In fact, His Word...

Playing the strings of the heart
some times when i am having a really bad day and i just cant take it any more, i have the tendency to find a piano and just play it all away. i am so thankful that God would provide me such a means to fully express myself emotionally and spiritually in such a way that i can even play away my earthly troubles and sorrows with a song from heaven. its even biblical

“I want to live a life worthy of the calling Jesus has placed on my life. He said that if we try to save our life we will lose it, but if we lose our life, we will find it. I have yet to lose my life for the sake of Christ, but I plan to. I am terrified. I am terrified to live not for this age, but for a heavenly age, a kingdom soon to come. I am scared that if I let go of the things I...
Ways to Develop Prophetic Musicianship
evanolsen:
The term “prophetic musician” simply describes a musician who, operating in the spirit of prophecy, testifies of Jesus. Because prophecy is simply the testimony of Jesus, it can be coupled with many different mediums. Preachers preach the testimony of Jesus; teachers teach it. Singers sing the testimony of Jesus; painters paint it. All these mediums can prophesy about who Jesus is and...
Jared Olsen: On Unity →
jaredolsen:
I love community. And I love seeing a community that walks together in love and in unity with each other and with God. This is the way God desires it to be. But “community” and “unity” is something that must be defined by God, for God, and through God. Indeed, God wants to bring forth a Church in…
Watchevanolsen:
On August 6, the nation will come together at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas for a solemn gathering of prayer and fasting for our country.
We believe that America is in a state of crisis. Not just politically, financially or morally, but because we are a nation that has not honored God in our successes or humbly called on Him in our struggles.
According to the Bible, the answer...

God: the better choice
some may look at my situation with my ex fiance and think of how sad it is, and how things could be better, and how we may “someday get back together”, but the fact of the matter is we broke up for Jesus and He is all that matters. i dont mourn over what i have lost, instead i look back and see what i have gained in Christ! while i may have lost something dear to my heart, i have...

The Importance of preaching a steadfast Gospel
this week i have thinking alot about the gravity of the state of the culture in the church. we seem to have put a huge emphasis on things that sound good, or that may be of some importance in the kingdom but that arent biblicaly mandated to be the center of our lives. say for instance putting something like fellowship over prayer. fellowship is biblicaly mandated, and is very benificial and...

Hebrews 12:4-13
4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, 6 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone...
Songbird
“Sweet songbird singing in the morning hour Waking me up to tell me how Another day passes along I love that simple song that reminds me Im getting closer to you And every time thoughts tumble down My mind is unwound So much to say Maybe on another day When these words will come out right A lesson in love is the hardest thing You and I will ever learn Because our hearts are so shy And I...

I have become disgusted with the mindset of the American church. I can’t even sit down and eat anymore without thinking of our starving and tortured brothers and sisters in Christ, How they are being tortured while we revel in our creature comforts and in safety. God forgive us for having callous hearts!
today i built a 10’ combustion cannon and successfully fired it, then i got to use the taser that ignites the cannon to taser a spider the size of my hand covered in its own babies. i dont know which one was more epic!
take up your Cross
i just cant get enough of traditional services, you know the kind of services where people either tried to stone the preacher, or fell on their face in repentance? where are the people of God that when they walk into a city, the government and cultural leaders fear them on the grounds that they have been known to turn a city upside down with the power that they walk in?

Declared, Bannered
“I could not look Him in the face, so I stood revarnishing the floor with my eyes. He stared into them with this love so offended and profound. He tore the center of my shirt and red was bleeding through from underneath the white clothes that I wore. The fire of devotion was only an ember. Alarmed at this sign of decay, my legs gave out because there was no self left to stand on. Thus, my...

Hilarius google transcription errors!

i have been through alot these past four months. i wish i could say i feel better, and i wish i could say i am over it, but the truth is its probably not going to change. for the first time in my life i have loved somebody with 1 Corinthians 13 love (as close as humans can get at least). it has taught me so much, and caused me so much pain, but through that it has helped me realize how God truly...
