Logos Bible Software $1,000 Seminary Scholarship

Going to Seminary is expensive. On top of that, finding a scholarship can be really difficult. That’s why I was excited to find this website today. Logos Bible Software is giving away a $1,000.00 scholarship and a digital theological library, and all I had to do to apply was watch a short video and answer a few questions! It took less than 15 minutes.

What is best of all is that if you’re in seminary and apply for the scholarship, and put my name as the person who referred you, if you win the scholarship, so do I! We could both get a $1,000.00 scholarship and digital theological library. So, do us both a favor and go apply for the today.

seanmichel: May 22, 2011 was a day that changed the city of Joplin, Missouri as a devastating tornado ripped through the town, killing many and leaving even more without homes or places of work.  The town has still not recovered, but as we  have partnered with our friends at Solace Church in Joplin, we have come up with a small way to help that process.  We will be playing some shows and doing some community service, all in a way to work with Solace Church of Joplin to make known the hope of the riches that are in Jesus Christ to a community that has lost so much.   We could really use your help to cover our expenses - there is a “donate” button to the right where you can contribute whatever amount you can.  Our expenses include gas, food, and work supplies for the 5 days we will be serving in Joplin.  We hate to ask anyone in Joplin to meet these needs, so please help step up on their behalf.  Here is our schedule:  Wednesday, February 22 - Concert at New Life Fellowship in Neosho, MO (just south of Joplin).  Thursday, February 23 - Debris cleanup in Joplin.  The community of Duquesne has been neglected to a degree in the cleanup process, and we will be going through and picking up debris that was blown in from the other side of Joplin, and collecting it to take to the landfill.  This is the first step in reconstruction, and this part of Joplin can’t being that process until the debris is cleaned up.  Friday, February 24 - Concert at Solace Venue in Joplin.  Solace Church runs a music venue that reaches out to the youth in the community.  We will be playing a show for that purpose in the evening.  Saturday, February 25 - Homeless Shelter outreach.  We will be working with Josh Evans, pastor of Solace Church, to provide meals at the local homeless shelter.  The shelter is crowded because many are still without homes, and many more have come to find work with the reconstruction but have nowhere to live.  We will be sharing and serving meals to these people.  Sunday, February 26 - Worship at Solace Church.  Sean and band will lead worship that morning at Solace Church and Jay (band manager) will be preaching.  We want to encourage the people of Solace to continue reaching out and being a light during such a dark time for their city.  Blessings to all of you, and we appreciate your prayers and support!

Beauty and the Blood

A beautiful contrast I’ve noticed in Scripture recently, and having to do with the Christmas story in particular, is that Jesus came to die for wicked, sinful, adulterous people. The redeemed are those who make up the Church, and the Church is the Bride of Christ. So, in essence we are all a bunch of “adulterers” - every one of us has gone astray and left God because we are all born sinners. Jesus died to save and redeem a whore, a prostitute. (That’s the Bible’s language, not mine). In contrast to the adulterous people Jesus came to save is his mother, Mary. Mary was the purest woman in the whole Bible, a virgin who gave birth to Jesus the Messiah, by the power of the Holy Spirit. However, the Bible says that Joseph thought to divorce her when he found out she was pregnant, and he obviously knew it wasn’t his baby. She probably looked pretty “scandalous” in the eyes of man. So Mary was completely pure as a virgin and she gave birth to the God-man, Jesus. Then the Church is the Bride of Christ, full of people who actually are wicked and adulterous, full of sinners who try to look righteous in the eyes of man; yet, it’s a man-centered self-righteousness that is covered in sin. But praise be to God who was pleased to dwell fully in Christ, who came to live among us!…and by covering our sin with his blood, Jesus purchased his Bride, he is redeeming his Bride, taking what was impure (sinful) and making it pure (the righteousness of God). He’s been in love with his Bride since before time began, and even now Jesus is patient and loving as he leads her. As the creator of marriage between a man and a woman in Genesis, God is the ultimate wedding planner. In Revelation we see that it’s all headed towards a Wedding between the Bride (the Church) and the Groom (Jesus) when the Lord returns! That’s GREAT news that I pray you will reflect on and be changed by this Christmas. Jesus. Loves. You!

13-year-old girls are being bought for sex in South Africa for $4 a day.

UNEARTHED SPENT TWO MONTHS IN SOUTH AFRICA DURING THE 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP TO DOCUMENT THE PROBLEMS & NEEDS OF ONE OF THE MOST SEXUALLY BROKEN NATIONS IN THE WORLD.

This clip is a brief synopsis of what we discovered. We hope to take our footage and edit into a documentary that will prompt people to change the landscape of human injustice in South Africa.
