Gearing Up

Posted in Exiles on August 6, 2008 by megan

We are so excited to be getting ready for the Fall Retreat. We are learning some new songs, and even some new instruments (don’t know if they will be ready in time). The Exiles are going to shred your faces off at Caraway (this is Justin’s sentence).

Who is like Him, the Lion and the Lamb seated on the throne? Mountains bow down and every ocean roars, to the Lord of Hosts. Praise Adonai, from the rising of the sun to the end of every day. Praise Adonai, all the nations of the earth, all the angels and the saints sing praise!

Getting Ready

Indeed, our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel.  Psalm 89:18

Mercies Made New

Posted in Exiles on June 3, 2008 by megan

We officially start getting ready for VBA (vacation bible awesomeness) tonight.  We are really exicted, we love vba!  It’s always a really refreshing week for us, busy but refreshing.  I think especially now, vba holds a special place in our hearts since it was the last time we got to spend time with our dear missed friend kyle.  It represents so many happy memories.  So we are really excited to start gearing up for this summer’s great adventure!  I’ve get this song stuck in my head today sometimes I think the Holy Spirit does that b/c we need to be reminded of something so let me share it with you:

Isn’t it love, this rain that falls on the sinners and the saints.  Isn’t it love this well that won’t run dry.  Isn’t is love His mercies made new every morning…Isn’t it love, Isn’t it love, Isn’t that love.

Just Because

Posted in Exiles on May 20, 2008 by megan

So, I came across this site today: www.birthverse.com, it was kind of funny to me, but interesting none the less.  Thought everyone would like to know what there designated “bithverse” is:

Justin – 1 Peter 2:25 “For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”

Megan – Colossians 1:27 “To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

Mark – Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

Chris – Ephesians 2:8 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God”

Buddy – John 5:27 “And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.”

Ashley – Proverbs 12:25 “ 25 An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.”

Kyle – Mark 11:23 “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.”

MT – Hebrews 9:14 “How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!”

I think after reading those verses one cannot deny the Authority, Power and Grace of our Lord Christ Jesus.  Have a Great day!!!

Doxology

Posted in Thoughts on May 12, 2008 by megan

Romans 11:33-36

 33Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!  How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
 34“For who has known the mind of the Lord,
   or  who has been his counselor?”
35“Or who has given a gift to him
   that he might be repaid?”

 36For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen

Mighty to Save

Zephaniah 3:17

The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”

I just thought there might be someone out there who needed a reminder of how much God loves us today.  I know I did.

Be Transformed

Posted in Thoughts on April 21, 2008 by megan

Romans 12:2

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
