U2, No Line On The Horizon

After anticipating therelease for over a year now, the new U2 album, No Line On The Horizon, is finally here.  This is definitely an album worth owning.  It is one of those where you don’t even care what song comes on because they are all so enjoyable to listen to.  As i listened to one of the songs, ‘Moment Of Surrender’ instantly it became more than just a casual listen but rather an experience.  A line from the song has constantly been playing in my head like a broken record says:

At the moment of surrender,of vision over visibility, i did not notice the passers by, and they did not notice me.

You all will have to go check out CFC’s brand-spankin new community forum!  As you can probably tell by the ridiculous adjectives i am using, i am incredibly excited about this!  I hope this will be a tool for you to get to know one another, encourage one another, challenge one another, ask questions, make comments, and provoke one another to Love and good works. Although these are huge reasons for why we have created this, it will also be a way for the CFC staff to ask for your input on a broad range of topics. So don’t hold back, speak the truth, always with love.

“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved,put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.” – Colossians 3:12-17

Impending Poem

Impending defined is, about to happen. Our video is a poem of words and images. We felt very limited in our personal ability to accurately give convincing evidence to anyone, even slightly critical, that we could actually and permanently change the world. We opted to look back on history and observe how others have changed the world. We saw multiple situations where people have made a major difference in the world but by first changing themselves. This is something that is very obvious and fundamental. However, because we live in an age where we are bombarded with millions of factors of influence, we came to the conclusion that personal transformation is the ONLY thing that will enable us as Christians to invoke anything deeper than mere emotional influence or persuasion. We are called to make disciples and lead others to conformity to Christ therefore we must be conformed to Christ. This project has challenged us to examine ourselves, and what we really believe about our callings. The pattern given to us in the Bible always begins by introspection, and only then can we evolve into an exponential revolution. We wanted this video to be attractive to inquiring minds. We want it to invoke curiosity and not necessarily provide people with the same, cliché’ answers they have always heard. We wanted it to provoke people to discover their own answers. This is a video that must be watched multiple times to be understood, however, the video is merely a catalyst, the impending poem is our life song.  Amen.

mirror mirror on the wall…

i love change!  Whether you think it right or wrong, i generally equate it to progression and growth.  The biggest problem i run into is my lack of patience, getting agitated because i, i, i.  i am stuck in my predictable box and i am viewing life out of my little cardboard peephole.  Imagine the opportunities i am looking right past and all together missing!  Not to mention the opportunities that i see how much must i be distorting them because of the lack of sight!

¡lets look at things differently, outside of our predictable boxes! Amen.
