His songs and life are evidence that God still talks to His children. Thanks, Boo.

Don't you care, don't you care are you gonna let them drown? How can you be so numb not to care if they come? You close your eyes and pretend the job's done<br /> Bless me Lord, bless me Lord You know it's all I ever hearNo one aches, no one hurts no one even sheds one tear But He cries, He weeps, He bleeds and He cares for your needsAnd you just lay back and keep soaking it in<br />Oh, can't you see it's such a sin? 'Cause He brings people to you doorAnd you turn them away as you smile and sayGod bless you, be at peace and all heaven just weeps'Cause Jesus came to you door you've left Him out in the street<br />Open up, open up and give yourself awayYou see the need, you hear the cries so how can you delay?God's calling and you're the one but like Jonah you runHe's told you to speak but you keep holding it in<br />Can't you see it's such a sin?The world is sleeping in the dark that the church just can't fight'Cause it's asleep in the lightHow can you be so dead, when you've been so well fed Jesus rose from the grave and you, you can't even get out of bedJesus rose from the dead, come on, get out of your bed<br />How can you be so numb not to care if they comeYou close your eyes and pretend the job's doneYou close your eyes and pretend the job's doneDon't close your eyes, don't pretend the job's done<br /><br /><br />Read more: KEITH GREEN - ASLEEP IN THE LIGHT LYRICS boonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104752688612443766.post-83497207196128281672013-01-20T07:48:49.426-05:002013-01-20T07:48:49.426-05:00Agreed, Angela.

One major problem is that Christians have bought the once well-meaning Christian maxim, “Actions speak louder than words” and stopped at actions. Eventually, one MUST move past actions and describe why they have any righteousness at all; Jesus Christ. Minus this verbal assent, we are no different, to the world, than any other social justice person who does it out of the “goodness of their heart”. We must speak the truth in love and humility or be in danger of elevating good works above the gospel.

Not just in name only but our good deeds that will point others to Christ Jesus. Part of our "deeds" are to be following such commands as to go into all the world and preach the gospel. There is only ONE gospel. Not everyone has the gift of evangelism but we can all do the work of an evangelist. Were we not "offended" when we were confronted with our sins? If someone is NOT offended by God's truths then they aren't understanding who they are and/or more importantly who Christ is. Holy God, sinful man. What's not offensive about that?Angela McCannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104752688612443766.post-25736755751788009632013-01-19T08:59:03.859-05:002013-01-19T08:59:03.859-05:00The Dead Sea is dead because there is much inflow ...The Dead Sea is dead because there is much inflow and zero outflow. Everything builds up to the point that the water is so inundated with silts, minerals, and such, that the normal proper balance of water is gone, preventing normal growth.<br /><br />Parallel?
