LEGACYouth: "It is Done" // Spoken Word

-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am one voice, crying out in the dark
Make straight my ways; let light leave its mark
For I am the maker of all things new
What I speak is faithful; my words always true.

I am the good shepherd; I came to give life
So all men could have it…and have it in rife

I am the grave conquered; a tomb left abandoned
A deep love ascended for hope one can stand in

I am the way; I came to set free
The broken and blind who lacked eyes to see

I am the good news, truth spoken in awe
A grace to replace the chains of the law

I am the keymaster; I came in meek splendor
So I could teach men the way to surrender

I am the gatekeeper who authored redemption
The Passover lamb who made no exception

And all so your stripes could be healed, not afflicted
For mercy to mend the divide once inflicted

So as you reflect on true freedom’s cause
A bridge to the kingdom, forgiveness of flaws

Remember the voice who took nails to flesh
So you could abide in His life afresh

And cherish the triumph so graciously won
The Savior, our King, who declared:

“It is done.”

Flash Weather: 2015-16 Winter Weather Forecast

Well, folks. We’re only one week past the autumnal equinox…and I think we all know what that means… …break out the fall décor, have yourself a very merry pumpkin space latte , and check Cameron’s blog for yet another preliminary winter weather forecast. Now, I’m not gonna lie...my winter weather  forecast for middle Tennessee last year held up rather well. Granted, I normally don’t toot my own horn considering I’m just a humble, amateur meteorologist in it for the love of the science; however, after the multiple ice storms and ankle-biter snow events we experienced between January 23 - February 21, I’d have to say my “B+” grade, in terms of activity and magnitude, was the correct call. So as the leaves start changing and the days grow shorter, I’m sure many of you are wondering: what can we expect this winter. Well, I’m so glad you asked. Last year , I itemized and graded certain atmospheric criteria to obtain an overall grade for the winter. This year, I’ll foll...

The Red Umbrella

I’ve always had a thing for red umbrellas 1 … …a peculiar liking considering my preference of wet over dry…and the fact my favorite colors are on the opposite end of the spectrum. So naturally…when my home church decided to set up a red umbrella by our welcome desk earlier this summer, my fascination couldn’t help but rekindle. What a nice touch , I thought 2 . This will add some flair to our lobby. But while the red umbrella, no doubt, offered a charming visual, the more I passed it by, the more I realized its unique significance, specifically, it wasn’t just some classy décor there to look cute; it was a landmark drawing people to a place they could connect 3 and discover hope 4 . Suddenly, I could sense the Spirit broadening my definition of the term. Yes, hope is a sure and steadfast expectation ( Proverbs 23:18 ), but this doesn't mean it's limited to a feeling about the future, a dollop of quixotic optimism 5 ...or pride in someth...

LEGACYouth: Rousing Resilience (Part 1)

-
Image
We all have heroes. Whether they’re family members or historical/cultural icons…we all have figures we look up to 1 . Of course, not all protagonists and champions are alike; however, when we consider their innate qualities, it’d be hard to find any who lacked some form of  resilience . What is resilience, you ask? Well, for starters, it’s the theme of this year’s  Acquire the Fire event  (hence, the topic’s prevalence). Yet, as far as definition goes, resilience bears rich substance 2 . I n fact, when we dig into Scripture 3 , we find resilience to be a number of things. Among them... A refusal to quit… A pledge to stand firm… Courage maintained… Boldness with honor… ...and a fearlessness rooted in two instinct-defying words...                     "I can't." 4 Now, I know it sounds weird, but when we confess this itty-bitty sentence to God, it ...
