Generations Conference 2009 - You gotta be there!!

Generations Conference is just a month away and honestly, It will change your life!!! Last years conference was not only the best conference that I have ever been too (and I have been to alot!!) It was the most impacting for me personally. This year with all that is going on in the world we ALL need answers to some pretty big questions. Like, how do I raise my family so that they fulfill what God has called my children to do? What is God building and what part should I play in the next season of my life? And of course, what is happening in the economy and how do I flourish when the rest of the world is not? Many of these questions will be answered at Generations 2009. You do not want to miss it!!! Special guests include, Paul Scanlon, Charlette Scanlon, Tommy Barnett, David Mainse and Graham Daniels. The Conference is held April 1-4 at Word of Life Church, I will be leading worship with a incredible team. See you there!!!

Worship Music for NOW!!

Have you ever looked back on a old picture that was maybe even just a few years old and said “Wow, that looks old”. Or you find yourself sitting at the mall and some old song comes on and you find yourself grooving to something that is “Just not cool anymore”. It is funny how the Old songs bring you back to memories and emotions of a time and a place that usually you don’t remember, until you hear the song. The only difference is that we can’t go back if we want to write what is for today. So I often ask myself the question after 16 years of writing, “what song is for the next season?” What is the song for the next season of my life and the next season of the Church? It is a question that cannot be answered until the song comes and often it comes before the next season. Before the World Crisis hit the planet late last year I wrote a song called “Set On You” that I am sure will be on my next Album. It is a simple song that proclaims our full trust and hope in our savior. It is exactly what I have needed and what my church has needed to sing in this season. You see, a song is a powerful weapon, especially the song of the NOW!!! I think that it is a good Idea to sing worship songs of the past and present but we can’t forget to sing the songs that God gives for the NOW!! For THIS time, and THIS season!! Maybe a few years down the road that song of NOW will hit you again and you can be thankful for a season that God brought you through!!
