Praise the source of faith and learning
that has sparked and stoked the mind
With a passion for discerning
how the world has been designed.
Let the sense of wonder flowing
form the wonders we survey
Keep our faith forever growing
and renew our need to pray.
God of wisdom, we acknowledge
that our science and our art
And the breadth of human knowledge
only partial truth impart.
Far beyond our calculation
lies a depth we cannot sound
Where your purpose for creation
and the pulse of life are found.
As two current in a river
fight each other's undertow
Till converging they deliver
one coherent steady flow;
Blend, oh God, our faith and learning
Till they carve a steady course.
Till they join as one, returning
praise and thanks to you their source

Borrowed Light
A song I read in a book - using it is a prayer to integrate faith and learning.

Great video... simple and so full of truth and life! God is working; lets find ways to make today count.
Passion 2010
On Friday night, I got the opportunity to attend Passion 2010, the last stop on the Passion World Tour. This was officially my second time at a Passion conference. Passion is a movement that I really believe in you can check out their website here http://www.268generation.com. In my opinion it really captures the heart of the gospel. Grace and new life through the transforming power of Jesus in a simple, non weird or pushy kinda of way.
Since it was my second time, I decided that I would serve as a volunteer. It ended up being great fun and I got to meet a lot of people and make some new friends. I worked at the registration desk from about 4 right through to 7:30 as people poured in from all around the city and the surrounding areas. There were even people as far from Tennessee there to attend and help out. After a finally tally, there ended up being over 11 000 people in the Rogers Area, gathered to worship and hear from the Lord. A great evening, where many lives were no doubt changed and a passion for making Jesus name famous in the city.
