Singles Ministry Retreat

This post is way late, but back in September our singles' ministry had their first leadership retreat. It was awesome. It was so great to see a group of people that God had totally brought to this place. It was great to see prayers answered for strong leaders in our ministry. And it was amazing to see how God was going to use each of us. I'm excited for where God is taking us and for the plan that he has. Everyone that knows me knows that singles ministries have been a burden that God has placed on my heart and its great to see God bringing things together. Pray for our ministry and others out there like it. Pray for the singles' hearts that we are trying to reach. Pray for Christ's church.

Without Condition

This song has come to mean a lot to me lately. I have come to find a lot of myself in these lyrics. How many times do we push things that we don't understand away and classify it as "weird" or "liberal" or "conservative" or.... Read the lyrics with an open heart.

You find this situation just a bit uncomfortable;
You'd rather stay far away from reality.
For you to understand would be clearly impossible;
So you shut your eyes and swear you can see.
Claiming there is a God, but does that mean anything?

So condescending to those that you don't understand;
Just too easy to make them your enemies.
Like an ostrich, you bury your head in the sand,
And then shout about all the things you believe.
But if there is a God, don't you think He can see
What you really mean? What you're doing?

Chorus:
You can't find the answers
Till you learn to question;
You won't appear stupid
Just ask for direction.
You're insecure and it clouds your perception
So stop and listen
And learn a lesson in love without condition.

So place all the souls that you know in their own little box;
Quite convenient to handle them that way;
You're the only one you know who carries a cross
You don't care what they care about anyway.
You talk to your God,
Prayin' for those who sin,
For their eyes to be opened

Chorus:
You can't find the answers
Till you learn to question;
You won't appear stupid
Just ask for direction.
You're insecure and it clouds your perception
So stop and listen
And learn a lesson in love without condition.

Let's try to learn the lesson in love without condition and pass that on to people around us.
