hello everyone! It's been a long time since i blogged anywhere. be honoured, be very honoured therefore that i am choosing our CAM blog to post my first post since i don't know when!
i've been to batam for the YMLC - which you guys must absolutely attend when you're old enough ok? It has been an awesome time of getting to know others and just worshiping and learning about God.
At the YMLC, i saw an advert for "Trackers 08" that had the song "Dare You To Move" by Switchfoot. Being the kiasu person that I am, i checked up on the band first to make sure they weren't some highly questionable band. Was pleasantly surprised to found out they are brothers in the faith! Anyway, for all its worth, I'm going to post the lyrics of the song, before I challenge you people from the Creative Arts Ministry! Apologies to the Trackers 07 team, i'm gonna "borrow" your challenge ok!
Dare You To Move - SwitchfootWelcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
Lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before------------------Okay here it goes. How many of you desire to see Frontliners be a place where the people are constantly in worship of the ever living God?If that is the case, then in Your lives, I dare you to live a life worthy of your calling! I dare you to come on sundays ready to worship Him for all He is. And as the people watch you for an example, whether in your lives, or on stage, or off it, I DARE YOU TO MOVE FOR HIM.
Let us as a ministry begin to live out our calling as His instruments! Cut out the mediocrity and compromise in our lives, and worship Him fully and completely, in word, thought and action. Guys, i am not scolding you but I want to encourage you to move for Him and in Him. You'll find that life has a greater purpose and meaning than the endless strife we live by.
Today, you have been dared to move.
Will you?
amen.
