Last night a group from church enjoyed a night of karaoke. It was a night filled with laughter, cajoling and an unexpected and unwanted tumble to the ground! We had reserved a private room and had the stage to ourselves. It was fantastic! What was so refreshing about the night was that the body of Christ had gathered in a very wordly atmosphere and was a little bit of salt and light to the dark world. I had to go in and out of the room several times throughout the evening and I felt in my spirit the strong, distinct difference of the presence of the Lord each time I entered back into our room. I know by faith that the folks we encountered throughout the evening got a taste of our great God.
Not of this World Words and music by Bob Hartman
Based on 2 Peter 2:11, John 15:18-19, John 16:33, Matthew 16:18, John 14:3
We are pilgrims in a strange land We are so far from our homeland With each passing day it seems so clear This world will never want us here We're not welcome in this world of wrong We are foreigners who don't belong
(Chorus) We are strangers, we are aliens We are not of this world We are envoys, we must tarry
With this message we must carry There's so much to do before we leave With so many more who may believe Our mission here can never fail And the gates of hell will not prevail Jesus told us men would hate us But we must be of good cheer He has overcome this world of darkness And soon we will depart from here
