A sea of worship...

Tonight at the staff worship and prayer, we didn't use any Powerpoint or amplified guitar or voices we worshipped in the raw. I wouldn't want you to think nude but very simple and it was great. We turned off the lights so there was no light coming from inside, no candles or votives, no mood setting anything, just song and prayer with the lights of the surrounding building adding just enough light.

We first prayed for God to reveal a place on campus to each of us and we would pray for that area or building or room or bunk or whatever that God would fully inhabit that place with His spirit and purpose and remove any thing or spirit with an alternative purpose.

Then Josh led us in song which was glorious and simple. Christina played her viola softly. Without the lights and the stuff, it felt like the ocean at night. Couldn't pick out points or faces but there was a sea of worship moving through us. It was very soothing and much needed.

I spoke on Mark 13:32-37 and Luke 9:1-2.

Sweet night. I love what I get to do...
