While You were Sleeping

This video was played in our church this morning. I was very impressed with the message that it told. I have been very troubled with the way the USA and the World seems to be headed. Listen carefuly and let me know your thoughts. ===Skid===

    I love the song and for the most part I love the video. My only hesitancy in showing the video yesterday was on the third verse. There is a line in the song about America being sung to sleep by philosophies that save the trees and kill the children. The video creator decided to place several magazine covers in at this point that are politically charged. My fear here was that people would lose track of the message of the song. Are there things that are broken in America, absolutely. But the answer to that brokenness is not the exclusive right of any political party. In fact the answer isn't in politics at all, left or right. The only answer is Jesus which was the point of the song, video and our corporate gathering yesterday.

    I'm not suggesting you were angling for a political discussion Doug. You just gave me a forum with your question, what do you think?, to state my fears in showing the video as it was produced.

    I enjoy your blog entries. They are always well thought out and I can tell you have been muling them over for a time. Keep up the good work!

    Donavon, this video impressed me with this thought.

    As a society we can get so wrapped up in our own theologies and philosophies that we forget that we were placed on this earth for a purpose. We were created for worship and fellowship with God, not for deliberating on when life begins, or how our exsistence is destroying the planet. Those are the duties of the Almighty. So with the song lyrics of "While you were sleeping" I am hearing that when you least expect it the Lord can do wonderful things and who knows He might just be speaking to you in the form of a political speach or agenda that is being presented, or even at a youth soccer game. God's will, will be done whether we are with Him or not. Don't let the time come and go and be caught napping.

    Granted I have a very conservative political view but I also beleive that the Lord will prevail with or without us.
