Another.

Another couple days has passed by without a whole lot of drama, or anything super special go on. The Basement last night went really well; God moved, and that is really what matters. We could talk about what went will for production team, or the drama team, or the care team, but the reality is that God showed up and did the thing that no team can do, even the best team in the world. The altar was so crowded (to the point that we waited to clean the stage because there were so many people at the altar), and people got their lives rocked. Like Laura and I were talking about last night, people met Jesus last night for the first time. Like the first time we found that love, people found what it means to be fully embraced by the Father. People realized that their beauty enthralls the King, and that has to be the most beautiful thing that one has the opportunity to see.

I smile to think about the people who woke up for the first time today knowing that they are loved by the King, no matter the things that they did yesterday. I smile to think that people are loved to the point that their friends don’t matter anymore. And I laugh out loud when I think about the people that God brought to me; I laugh with them (and often at them). They have taught me to laugh. They teach me what it means to love others. They let me know that I have people who pray for me, who will scare me in a dark hallway just to laugh, who make me smile when I don’t want to smile, and who make me want to follow Christ with everything inside of me. I would be lost without them, and probably way too serious.

This is the team:


You definitely need to check out the Basement when you are in Birmingham. If you have to come here just for the Basement, you still need to do it. The revolution is rising. A generation who is preparing themselves for the return of Christ is leading the very thing that could usher in the return of our Saviour.

And this is what we like to call history in the making:


What are you doing to make an impact in your own generation? Will you be an historical interruption or just another status quo Christian? Will today be another day that goes down as a day that just passed by without you making an impact on someone's life?

May we be a generation who prays as if it all depended on God and live as if it all depends on us!
