The Cool Thing About The Internet


I know I've said this before but it bears repeating.

The Internet is so cool. We can take the message of Jesus worldwide by sitting at a desk at home or work. The above video from a Close Encounter service in May has been viewed over 5,000 times worldwide now. There's nothing special about us, however. I have to think it's God's sovereignty getting this video and things like it that others are doing out to the world to get across the message of His saving grace. He has put each of us in this time and this place for a reason. Embrace your times. (Are you inspired yet?) ;-)

Re-read the words to this song. Awesome stuff:

How Deep The Father's Love For Us

How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts no power no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
