“What Have We Done?” as performed by The Northern Conspiracy on Good Friday (April 6th, 2007) at MHC | Shoreline.
This was performed at Mars Hill Church (Seattle) on Good Friday, although a little repetitive it does a good job of looking deep within and admitting honestly the reality of our Christ-following.
Oh my soul, Oh my Jesus. Judas sold you for thirty, I’d have done it for less.
Oh my soul, Oh my Savior. Peter denied you three times, I have denied you more.
As the nails went in, I was standing right there.
As you breathed your last, I shook my head and I cried.
Oh my God, what have we done. We have destroyed your son (x2)
Oh my soul, Oh my Jesus. Judas sold you for thirty, I’d have done it for less.
Oh my soul, Oh my Savior. Peter denied you three times, I have denied you more.
And the blood ran down, and I was standing right there
And the water poured, I shook my head and I cried.
Oh my God, what have we done. We have destroyed your son (x4)
This lovely title page from “A treatyise of the iustificacyon by faith only, otherwise called the parable of the wyked Mammon.” Was posted over at The Conventicle – I have a softspot for this… old books and theology! This is just beautiful…
You might not think that a white background on a website would be an ecological decision, but with millions of people out there browsing the web you should consider that, like rain, one drop might be small, but a billion or so can add up!
Take at look at Google, for instance, who gets about 200 million queries a day. Let’s assume each query is displayed for about 10 seconds; that means Google is running for about 550,000 hours every day on some desktop. Assuming that users run Google in full screen mode, the shift to a black background will save a total of 15 (74-59) watts. Now take into account that about 25 percent of the monitors in the world are CRTs, and at 10 cents a kilowatt-hour,
that’s about $75,000/year, a goodly amount of energy and dollars for changing a few color codes.
Note: there was a picture here, but it broke my blog… who knows why.
This usage of pegboard makes an ordinary desk into an extraordinary space-saver! As an IT worker with more cables than I care to admit this is nothing short of revolutionary, seems like a good project to try in the near future.
Ahh… the venerable sermon… method of choice for imparting wisdom to the pews for over a thousand years.
Sadly, this ancient art can often be just a jumble of mediocre clichés, stitched together to keep an audience enthralled until the collection plate is passed.
Well, a web-based tool just might help you rid your sermons of overused clichés—and hopefully help you to develop a more refined presentation.
I’m constantly impressed by John Piper’s Desiring God ministry, he’s made his sermons and notes available for free online, but recently his books have been made available (I’m not sure when it started.)
Today the book, Amazing Grace in the Life of William Wilberforce was made available for free from the Desiring God website and it looks like it well worth a read.
This distribution method is just so amazing to me, I applaud the people behind it and I pray that it would be used to bless people around the world.
