David Crowder Band just released a new CD that has turned my head all around. It's filled with great Biblical truths that I know I need to practice, but sometimes neglect. As I was writing in my notebook (not a journal, a notebook- right fellas), it occurred to me that God is really breaking me. Breaking my idea of what a leader is. Breaking my heart of what it means to reach people. and... breaking my pride down so that I look to Him and not my own selfish ways.

If you haven't had the chance to listen to this CD, it's called "Church Music" and it's great.

Now, it's probably not what you were thinking. But, the age old character we've seen from the cartoons, scary movies, and halloween costumes... what if he took a day off? What does Death do when it's not out doing, well- death stuff?!? Well, we wanted to know just that and if you want to see what Death would put on Twitter & Facebook- you'll have to get their early for a good seat.
Sunday mornings.
10am at Ocean Lakes High School.
Check http://www.forefront.org for more info.

The opening video is shaping up to be fantastic. But, it begs me to ask the question...

What do you think Death would put as his Facebook status? Twitter update?

In one week I will be celebrating my 3rd year at Forefront and my first year as the guy who gets all the "Can you please tell your Tech team to make the fonts bigger?" emails. Kidding. But on a serious note, it has been amazing and I wouldn't change it for the world. The last three weeks have had baptisms every week, decisions for God, at least 12 new families each Sunday, 25 people signed up to go to missions work in Vietnam in 2010, and we started an amazing new series, "30 Days to Live."

God has been moving in His church and I figured every couple of weeks we'll be doing a video blog to update on how things are going, what is going down, and how we can allow God to move in us and take us to another level. Here is the special video blog "numero uno" on a topic that's pretty sensitive, but in our current culture- it's pretty heavy stuff.

Note: It's 8 minutes long with some load time, so thanks for being patient. If it takes too long to load, you can view it on Vimeo or YouTube.

Okay, we're playing this tomorrow in service- but I had to let it out because I'm just so pumped about it.



Sign-ups start tomorrow morning.
Email jason@forefront.org for info.
40 spots are open.
It's gonna fill up fast.
$35 a person.
Oh man, I can hear the testosterone raging now.

Chloe LOOOOOOOVVEESSS Music. The girl can't help but move and shake it. It's second nature for her. Well, we flipped over to the music channel and let Chloe "get her groove on." She is out of control, but we love it. Enjoy.



And yes, in case you were wondering, she is in fact table dancing in the very beginning. I know. We're horrible parents.

What do you and your family do for fun to relax, kick it, and have a good laugh??

I love this video.



John Mark McMillan, performs his song, "Skeleton Bones." It totally reminds me of the place God found me in. I was down, out, and wanting to give up. But God came in and peeled back my outer wall of doubt, fear, shame, and guilt- then built in me a heart like His.

What videos or songs out there really just make you go, "WOW. That is me!"

Share the links and I'd like to post some over the weekend and next week.

Last week we started the series, "30 Days To Live." The response we received via email, Facebook, Twitter, & text message was beyond what we had hoped. From re-acquainting people with God's heart for you or to simply spurring you on to give more of your time & energy to seeking God- we loved reading them all. Your stories are inspiring.

This week we'll be building on the idea of living life in the moment and extending that concept to living for eternity. And if you missed it, someone gave their life to Jesus last week after attending only ONE SUNDAY.

Who are you going to invite this week? Who will be impacted by God's message because you answered His prompting to invite that friend, co-worker, and/or neighbor?

Cannot wait to see you all on Sunday. Much love.

• The tech team @forefrontchurch absolutely rocks my socks off. They killed it today.
• Did anyone see Brandon (@AxemTwice) killin' it on drums? The band led us to the feet of God and I thought Brandon was going to break every drum on his kit in the process.
• Death Clock says I will die on November 2, 2052. Bummer.
  
• Contrary to popular belief, I only mentioned 5 ways my life could possibly end this morning (i.e.- plane, car, illness, preaching too intensely, rabid raccoon)
  
• Not 9, 12, or 47 like some people at lunch inferred
• Speaking of lunch, Moe's is my new guilty pleasure.
• I should not eat there. It's bad for me.
  
• In case you missed service or didn't have anything to write down the scriptures on- you're in luck, here they are: Psalm 39:4-5, James 4:13-17, Psalm 118:24, Proverbs 27:1
• If you missed the letter I read about what I would tell my FF family if I had 30 Days To Live, check out the podcast.
• It will be loaded Tuesday, either here on iTunes or here on our website under media/messages
• Please pray for @YoRichie and Legacy Church. They open this Sunday and we are fully sure that God is going to blow the roof off of PA & Allentown.
• Please pray for Vince & Verve as they continue to pursue getting a permanent space for the Las Vegas ministry there. Awesome stuff.
• On the pop culture tip: MTV VMA's?!? Craziness. Anyone see the stunt Kanye West pulled on Taylor Swift? It was out of control.
• I talked with 13 people today who are AMPED on being at Forefront. They have all come in the last month. Love it.
• If your on Twitter, you should follow @forefrontchurch You get the inside scoop on things happening.
• 25 people got the inside scoop on Vietnam info today. We're sending 4 teams this year. It's all going to work with this project, take a look and get involved!
• And, it helps to end a day with baptizing a new friend who came to church for the first time today. He was invited by two friends, God showed up and did something amazing. Check out the video:

In the social network world where everyone can post via Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, and everything under the sun- what they are doing at every waking moment... this video brings it all into perspective. Man, I wish I could make videos like this. Amazing. [ht. maxon]
