Legitimate Questions
By admin | June 2, 2008
Yesterday we began the first teaching of our new series Legitimate Questions. We addressed the very important question, “How could an all-loving God send anyone to hell?” We had our friend Jon Ralls address the question and he was very helpful and thoughtful with such an intense issue. Check it out here.
We opened up the morning with Nickel Creek’s Doubting Thomas. If you’re unfamiliar with the band you should check them out. The band’s mandolin player, Chris Thile, is among the best in the world. And thankfully, we had our friend Roger Brant, who’s ability nearly matches Thile’s, to play on the song with us. The tune was a perfect fit for the beginning of Legitimate Questions.
What will be left when I’ve drawn my last breath,
Besides the folks I’ve met and the folks who know me,
Will I discover a soul saving love,
Or just the dirt above and below me,
I’m a doubting thomas,
I took a promise,
But I do not feel safe,
Oh me of little faith,
Sometimes I pray for a slap in the face,
Then I beg to be spared ’cause I’m a coward,
If there’s a master of death I’ll bet he’s holding his breath,
As I show the blind and tell the deaf about his power,
I’m a doubting thomas,
I can’t keep my promises,
‘Cause i don’t know what’s safe,
oh me of little faith
Can I be used to help others find truth,
When I’m scared I’ll find proof that its a lie,
Can I be lead down a trail dropping bread crumbs,
That prove I’m not ready to die,
Please give me time to decipher the signs,
Please forgive me for time that I’ve wasted,
I’m a doubting thomas,
I’ll take your promise,
Though I know nothin’s safe,
Oh me of little faith.
Our musical worship set took place after the teaching:
Mighty To Save: Hillsong
Marvelous Light: Charlie Hall
Sing to the King: Candi Pearson
The morning’s musical set was great! I was very encouraged to see the congregation responding to God through the music. It was one of most fun mornings we’ve had yet.
