Just Because

Just Because

Just because someone’s young doesn’t mean it’s too early
Just because someone’s old doesn’t mean it’s too late
Just because someone’s small doesn’t mean he has no strength
Just because someone’s big doesn’t mean he has no weakness
Just because someone’s smart doesn’t mean he’s always right
Just because someone’s dumb doesn’t mean he’s never wise
Just because someone thinks so doesn’t mean others have to agree
Just because someone disagrees doesn’t mean they’re evil
Just because someone said so doesn’t mean it’s fact
Just because someone posted it doesn’t mean it makes sense
Just because someone tweeted it doesn’t mean it’s worth a look
Just because it sounds good doesn’t mean you should listen
Just because it tastes good doesn’t mean you should eat it
Just because no one supports you doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try
Just because no one’s done it doesn’t mean you won’t be the first
Just because you’ve never won doesn’t mean you shouldn’t fight
Just because it’s dark around you doesn’t mean you can’t shine bright

Every Other Way

Verse 1:
Is it strained, when I call you
Or do you think, that I might forget
Oh your love, is radiating
The farther away
I go
I go

Verse 2:
Do you count, on me now
And do you wait, up for me all night
I wish I could run, to you when you need me
You know I can’t be far
For long
For long

Chorus :
Heart don’t fail me now
Cause there is no time to waste
Don’t shut me out, we shouldn’t wait another day
I’ve searched for you, on my hearts high speed chase
Hear me out, may be the only chance to say
Hold me now
I’ve said it Every Other Way

Bridge :
These tears I’ve cried
More moments gone to waste
I’ve searched for you
I’ve said it Every Other Way

Chorus :
Heart don’t fail me now
Cause there is no time to waste
Don’t shut me out, we shouldn’t wait another day
I’ve searched for you, on my hearts high speed chase
Hear me out, may be the only chance to say
Hold me now
I’ve said it Every Other Way

Justifying Faith

Justifying Faith

“The gospel of justifying faith means that while Christians are, in themselves still sinful and sinning, yet in Christ, in God’s sight, they are accepted and righteous. So we can say that we are more wicked than we ever dared believe, but more loved and accepted in Christ than we ever dared hope — at the very same time. This creates a radical new dynamic for personal growth. It means that the more you see your own flaws and sins, the more precious, electrifying, and amazing God’s grace appears to you. But on the other hand, the more aware you are of God’s grace and acceptance in Christ, the more able you are to drop your denials and self-defenses and admit the true dimensions and character of your sin.” ― Timothy Keller

Two Wolves

Two Wolves

A Native American grandfather talking to his young grandson tells the boy he has two wolves inside of him struggling with each other. The first is the wolf of peace, love and kindness. The other wolf is fear, greed and hatred. “Which wolf will win, grandfather?” asks the young boy. “Whichever one I feed”, is the reply.
