Jars of Clay - “I heard the bells on Christmas day”

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my head:
“There is no peace on earth,” I said,
“For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.”

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men.”

Till, ringing singing, on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, good will to men!

Relient K - “Therapy”

I never thought I’d be driving through the country just to drive
With only music and the clothes that I woke up in
I never thought I’d need all this time alone it goes to show
I had so much yet I had need for nothing
But you

This is just therapy
Let’s call it what it is
(Not what we were)
With a death-grip on this life always transitioning
This is just therapy
Cause you won’t take my calls
and that makes God the only one who’s left here listening to me

Letting it all sink in
It’s good to feel a sting now and again
I hope it’s one less woeful thing there is to fight through
Forgetting it all begin
Fresh paper and nice expensive pen
The past can not subtract a thing from what I might do
For you
Unless that’s what I let it do

Loneliness and solitude are two things not to get confused
Cause I spend my solitude with you
I gather all the questions of the things I just can’t get straight
And I answer them the way I guess you’d do

Cause this is my therapy
Cause you’re the only one that’s listening to me
This is my therapy
Let’s call it what it is not what we were
With a death-grip on this life that’s in transition
This is my therapy
Cause you won’t hear me out
and that makes God the only one who’s left here listening

The concluding paragraph:

I’m not wishing the Internet away. It has become so integral to my work — to my life — that I honestly can’t recall what I did without it. But it has allowed us to reflexively indulge every passing interest, to expect answers to every fleeting question, to believe that if we search long enough, surf a little further, we can hit the dry land of knowing “everything that happens” and that such knowledge is both possible and desirable. In the end, though, there is just more sea, and as alluring as we can find the perpetual pursuit of little thoughts, the net result may only be to prevent us from forming the big ones.

Yes, yes, three times yes. That, among other reasons, is why I’ve been gone for a while.

“One of the peculiar sins of the twentieth century which we’ve developed to a very high level is the sin of credulity. It has been said that when human beings stop believing in God they believe in nothing. The truth is much worse: they believe in anything.”

Timothy Keller Sermons Now Available For Free

Timothy Keller Sermons Now Available For Free:

christianity:

They used to charge a modest price for their mp3 sermons, but in response to demand they have made 150 sermons available online, free to download and share.

Dr. Timothy Keller of Redeemer Presbyterian Church, Manhattan, is a dynamite speaker, and is excellent at making Biblical truth come alive to today’s scientific, post-modern minds. If you haven’t heard him, I hope you will listen to some of these sermons.

If you’re a skeptic, I hope you will check out Keller, who is one of the greatest apologists of our day.

Celebrity Culture and Worshipping False Idols | ABC News:

christianity:

Interview with Mark Driscoll:

“An idol is someone or something that occupies the place of God in your life,” he said. “Every person has a deep inner need to worship something. That’s how people are made.

“If you worship alcohol you become an alcoholic. If you worship food, you become a glutton. If you worship pleasure you become a sex addict,” Driscoll warned. “All the modern psychology vernacular is really not dealing with the root issue of idolatry: Something or someone is preeminent other than God.”
