CECWorship Baby!-Confessional 10/28/07 2007-10-28 21:54:28 So it’s Sunday morning and I am stoked about the service..I mean I can’t wait because I think the songs are dead on with what God wants.

I get woken from my 6 year old Tristan…”Get up daddy”…ok fine…I come out and my wife is sitting on the couch. She says “Joel, I didn’t sleep at all call the hospital and see if we need to go in because I’m getting more frequent contractions.”

Thanks for praying for Stef 2007-10-26 23:30:13 Thanks for praying
for stef. Here is an update from his wife…Wow our God is amazing
“Hi, it’s Sandi filling in for Stef– Wow! What a day this has been. Actually, what a journey these past three months have been. We have been awaiting this day for some time now. We waited with both fear and excitement. We had a fear of the unknown because we didn’t know for sure what they would be doing once they opened Stef up, and we had excitement because of the possibilities of this surgery. We definitely saw what God can do. I do have to thank our amazing support system also. We have so many amazing friends and family who shared of their time with us over the last few days. Some dear girl friends of mine had me up for lunch yesterday and a time of prayer. Last night, some friends of Stef’s came to our house to pray with Stef. Today, we had some wonderful people sit with me at the hospital to help pass those long hours. A wonderful friend of Stef’s was th Read more:Thanks

Hmm…Reviews, updates, Faith! 2007-10-25 22:13:02 So I know everybody out there in blog world was wondering where is
WHAT THE WEDNESDAY….and now where is YOU SHOULD BE LISTENING TO…
You might be thinking did Joel’s wife finally have the baby that is due in 3 days…nope..
What did happen is my mother in law flew in from Louisiana and we have just been wicked busy preparing for this new addition to our family.
What that said…This should make up for the delay of those 2 posts.
I have been on a reading whirlwind as of late. I just can’t get enough of the books and letting God pour into me.
On the plate recently:
Unchristian: 4 out of 5 stars
Dangerous Act of Worship: 6 out of 5 stars
Jim and Casper go to Church: 2 out of 5 stars
The Gospel According to Starbucks: 4.5 out of 5 stars
In a pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day :6 out of 5 stars
It’s kind of interesting because all of the truths in theses books seem interwoven.
I want to go through a few short reviews here to explain my point.

Music You SHould Be Listening to: Mad at the World 2007-10-31 23:35:33
Mad at the World
: 1987-1998
This is a little known band these days, but probablly in the top 5 Christian bands that have influenced me. They were a band that always reinvented their sound. The first CD was almost like Depeche Mode and Tears for fears…later they went into Goth and hard rock ending their music foray with a 60’s 70’s feel. Brilliant stuff here.
Lyrically it they were very challenging dealing with things like suicide, sex, addiction, drugs and ultimatly hope. It is kind of hard to find the CD’s but many were reprinted and can be found on amazon and other sites like www.radrockers.com.
I recently found out Founder and lead singer of MATW Roger Rose is at it again with some demos online.
This is a band the shaped the way for Christian rock and really needs to be revisited often. Go buy the Cd’s
Here they are live…audio isnt hot, but this song rocks!

What the wednesday 2007-10-30 22:45:13
It has been one eventful weekend to say the least…after my little hiatus from bloggin (and letting billy chia get ahead of me in the world of top blogs for the week) I am officially back with this weeks What the Wednesday.
1. If you don’t know why I was gone for a little…it’s because we had our third son on Sunday. His name is Gavin Mitchell…and we are stoked. My wife, kelly came home today and things are almost back to normal..well with an extra mouth to feed.
2. A few posts back I did a quick review of the new book “jim and casper go to church” . I got an interesting comment from a woman named Helen which directed me to the blog for the book and the concept behind it. www.churchrater.com . On the front page it said “joel is unimpressed with the book” and i said to myself…”What the!?” sure enough it was a blurb from my review and a comment from Helen (one of the organizers of the site) . she had some back and

1. Olympics banning the Bible?
2. Sojourn Music: great new worship…go listen. I will have an interview with them on here very soon as well
3. Resound worship: great new resource site out of the UK
4. have you heard Kim walker with JesusCulture? WOW!! watch below..and then watch everything else with her
5. Charlie Hall and Micah 6:8 it’s amazing because with everything I have been reading this verse and song really ring true for our generation of Christians who need to walk in real truth.
Micah 6:8-Hall
Verse
You could feed the whole world with the crumbs of old bread
Spread the good news through dreams and stones
With a breath of the wind You could raise up the dead
But You ask us to go
chorus
Help us love mercy, help us do justly,
Help us walk humbly with You God
Verse 2
Forget not the widow, the orphan, and slave
O God please remember the helpless today
Call on Your children repairing the breach
There is no place too far that Your mercy can’t reach

Paternaty Leave = Catchup 2007-11-06 12:30:32 It is amazing how much you end up having to do when you didn’t do it for a week. My design jobs stacked up…my church work stacked up…my stacks stacked up.
So the blog gets some delays in its normal broadcasting which I hate doing.
so lets talk about some books ive read recently.
They Like Jesus But Not The Church- Dan Kimball - 3 out of 5 stars
Great book and challenging. It is another book in the vein of following Jesus and his actions and not being like judgmental problematic Christians. Changing how the outsiders see us. Only issue with the book I had was that it was exactly like UnChristian just without all the Barna stats. My recommendation is to pick one of the two and read it.
Blue Like Jazz - Donald Miller - 2 out of 5 stars
Ok I know I’m gonna be crucified for this one, but I just wasn’t really into it. Good book, but for me it’s really a book for people who are searching, confused or have walked away from the Christian faith. It was almos Read more:Leave

Seminars 4 Worship Guest Review 2007-11-10 20:00:46 Below is a guest Review of seminars4worship by a worship leader friend in in the same communion Darren Jones. I will have my personal review up next week now that I’m psuedo back to normal..He writes:
My name is Darren Jones. I serve as a worship leader at Church of the Holy Spirit, Charismatic Episcopal Church in Stephens City, Virginia. I play keyboard and am the lead singer for our worship team. I have been leading worship at Church of the Holy Spirit for a year-and-a-half; before then, I had often helped out by playing either keyboard or piano at various churches since 1992.
Last week I attended a worship seminar in Lancaster Pennsylvania put on by Integrity Media. The seminar was called “Journey to the Heart of Worship.” I found the seminar very helpful in many ways. The group sessions were conducted by Ross Parsley of New Life Church in Colorado Springs; and Don Moen, executive vice-president of Integrity Media. Parsley focused on an exegesis of Isaiah 6 and drew insig Read more:Seminars

So just when you thought Thursday was here…wednesday rears it’s ugly head.

2. it’s been 12 years but one of my favorite groups from the 90’s is back. Arrested Development. Speach is now an ordained minister and it looks like the new CD is gonna be a great buy.
Remember this one?
GodBox (part2): Be like David 2007-11-15 12:37:11
GodBox: Part 2
Your Name
The bible says that David
was a man after God’s heart. Ever thought about what that really means?
I think it is referring to the second step in the GodBox. The first was Standing firm on the promises God has given us for who we are.
The second is Standing firm on the promises of who He is.
David knew His God was bigger than he was. A lot of times we are very good at pretending how big he is but never really putting our faith in that. We are made in Christs image. Like I said in the part one, we love to make him into our image, but he is far bigger. For ever promise He has given to us about us He is even greater.
The potter shapes and molds us and we really learn how beautiful we are. We can’t know how great he is without looking up at the face of Jesus and seeking his heart. A man after God’s own heart is a man who is looking to be God’s instrument. It’s a person who seeks to be just and merciful in the sight of the Lord. It&rsqu
GodBox (part1): Don’t be George Jetson 2007-11-14 13:24:17
GodBox: Part 1
My God is bigger than your god
There is a classic song out that we all know that has the lyrics - “God is bigger than the air I breathe…” What a great line. It’s poetic and beautiful. How great would it be if we believed that. The bible is my foundation and I know that everything in it is the breathe of God. The odd thing is I am not to good at standing on the truths as much as I am at professing the truths.
Go through your day and look at what your doing. It is very monotonous at best. We all have our ritualistic lifestyle and find ourselves in a situation where hours flow by in a blur. I think God is calling us to something bigger, something grand, something with purpose.
I was asked the question by my mens group this week “who in movies do you think you are most like and are afraid you are”
My answer:
George
Jetson. George was an odd man. He went through the same routine every morning and every evening. In between he had a job
