A healthy Dose of Perspective

Many of you know Aron & I are like the only 2 people in the world who don't have cable. It started out as a financial decision while we were paying off our student loan debt. But the absence of the boob tube in our world has created space for other really great fillers of our time.

At least once a week we'll catch an online worship service from some of our favorite pastors of churches that we are following. It may sound wierd that we "follow" churches...but by that I mean, that we are staying connected to the amazing things God is doing through these groups of believers.

So one of those churches is Newspring Church in South Carolina. We just watched the first week of their current sermon series last night: How to Survive the End of the World.

I needed to hear exactly what Pastor Perry Noble had to say. It is so easy to get caught up in the day to day trivial issues in our lives that we forget or become blind to the big picture. And when we lose sight of that, we lose purpose, perspective, and passion. 

If you have a spare hour this week, grab a hot cup of tea and watch. (We usually skip through the worship portion straight to the teaching...just for time sake). To watch, click HERE.

This is the trailer for the series:

Thank you God for awakening my heart through this. God, forgive us for our negligence - for sleeping and pursuing comfort after comfort while the broken wander aimlessly and tragedies go on unnoticed. Show us how to love, show us how to walk in justice.
