"Behold, I stand at the door and knock..."

Just got back from one of the most powerful chapel services I have been to at NGU.

I tend to slip into the improper way of giving credit where credit is due regarding worship services and speakers/preachers. Most of the time I will admire how cool the music sounded or how awesome that one guy's solo was on the guitar and how funny the speaker was or what his outfit looked like. Today was different.

I really felt God's presence and his movement in the chapel service. Sure the band was great and they were all talented and really did sound fantastic together, but God made the difference...He made his presence known through that worship time. I love the in-between-the-words parts of songs when the music is driving and you can just pray pray pray and meditate on the Lord and continually thank Him for his grace and mercy to even let us live after the countless terrible sins we have committed. The worship really set the tone for the message that Travis Agnew was about to bring.

Central point was this: Jesus is knocking at the door. Yes, he is knocking at the door of non-Christians...but He knocks at the door of Christians as well. Maybe even more so than non-Christians. We can get so accustomed to going to church and chapel and other religious functions that we develop some sort of a glaze over our spiritual eyes and ears and after a while we realize how far away we have drifted from Jesus. Just open the door and let Him back in, or He will just keep knocking over, and over, and over, and over........

"For all you Christians out there that feel like you are so far away from God and feel disconnected from his presence, I can assure you that He has not moved."

This is the bike I want for Christmas and my birthday...a Mercier Kilo TT Pro.






Which color should I go for? Any thoughts?
