Check Out the “All Things New” Worship CD

I want to plug a new worship CD released by the pastors of our churchAll Things New: a worship encounter.

It’s an interesting mix of original music and scripture reading. It is not a traditional music CD. But it is a refreshing worship CD.

The original music is that of our worship pastor, Mindy von Atzigen, and the intermingled scripture reading is by our senior pastor and husband to Mindy, Eric von Atzigen.

It’s great for prayer, meditation, reading, driving, and just about everything except head banging (for those times when you just have to bang your head).

You can order All Things New online for just $10. It’s well worth the modest price.

If you are still undecided, you can also listen to a short snippet here:  Listen to “Sleeping”

By the way, if any of you know of a better service for uploading music files, please let me know.

Complete Prayer System

Our pastor is away at a pastor’s conference, and he asked me to write his Monday Morning Review (his weekly blog) this week. I consider it an honor and a privilege when I’m permitted to do so.

In the past, I’ve taken a few liberties, but I’ve always been invited for a return engagement. This one, however, may get me fired from my substitute blogger job: Pastor Eric’s Complete Prayer System.

I may have had a little too much fun at his (and other pastors who employ acronyms as sermon tools) expense.

Question on the Nature of God and Blessing or Cursing

For the last several months, our church has been holding a weekly noontime Bible study through the book of Revelation. It’s been quite enlightening, and my end-times theological cage is being rattled a little. Incidentally, the progress is being written about @ The Watchman’s Gaze if you care to follow.

But, during a recent meeting, we chased a few rabbit trails, including: Did Jesus (and by extension God) curse Israel (specifically when Jesus cursed the fig tree, or ever)? Does God curse anything? If He did before, does He still? Is God capable of cursing anything given His nature(?), or given Christ’s accomplishment on the cross(?), or are curses merely brought upon one’s self?

The discussion was obviously much more in depth than the narrowly defined questions posed above, but this is my (admittedly) slanted summary.

Thoughts? Ideas? Comments?
