James MacDonald on Songs They Don't Sing at His Church

This is an interesting clip from James MacDonald on thinking through worship songs at Church. I wish most music pastors would think through these things.

The Elephant in the Room

Interesting event hosted by James MacDonald called the Elephant room. No churches currently in our area are hosting it but hopefully it will be captured and released for free on the inter-webs. Check out the trailer to see what it's all about.

If you're checking out this blog please be sure to give and pray for Japan. Pray that God would be glorified in this disaster through hearts finding their hope in Jesus Christ. My prayer is that many would come to know, love, and follow Jesus through this tragic event. May the church of christ multiple in the nation of Japan to the glory of God.
