Found afterwards that some reformed pastors don’t like the song because the line “Jesus didn’t want heaven without us so he brought heaven down.”
I get the self-centered fear that pastors might have, but being mad about that line makes it sound like Jesus could do without us in heaven or is indifferent to us.
Makes God too cold in my opinion.
Needless to say, we’ll be keeping that song.
I had chills as our church belted out the bridge: You have no rival, You have no equal.
Wow.
Monday night we pulled together many of our leaders at Revolution and shared with them a clearer discipleship grid for our church.
I was convicted last year that we have not clearly defined what a healthy, mature disciple is and how to get there.
We are still building it out, but the foundation is there and I am excited about it and the potential growth our people will experience.
Our hiring right now is a part of this journey.
One of the things I’m most excited at Revolution right now is how healthy our leadership team is.
We are stronger, working together better, hanging out, laughing.
It is fantastic.
This hasn’t always been a priority for me and it has shown in our church and that makes me sad looking back on it.
I took Ava to see Beauty and the Beast over the weekend.
Super fun.
Not everyone will appreciate this, but if you are a theological nerd you will.
I’m super geeked out about the sermon calendar for the next year at Revolution.
