Brand New Possibility...

Check out new pics from flag football, yuck night, and other Delta events; Reviews for "The Nativity Story" and "One Night with the King", and be sure and look at the upcoming events for December---there's much great stuff happening with Delta and Riverside that you need to know about! There's also a great organization that you should check out on our Resources page called "To Write Love On Her Arms"---TWLOHA is currently on tour, raising money to battle depression, cutting, suicide, and addiction in young people.

Carly and I just got back from Charleston, SC, where we to see some amazing historical stuff---houses and churches built in the 1600's, places where people like George Washington actually walked and sat and ate, plantations where people amassed great wealth, and others were held in cruel slavery. It was amazing to see all of these things---I love history to the point where I can literally read books and watch TV shows about nothing but the past, and be perfectly satisfied. Sometimes, though, I must remind myself that even though history teaches us so much, I must keep an eye toward the future. 2000 years ago, men honored history, its lessons, its rules, and its traditions to an extreme degree, to the point where it was almost impossible for anyone to believe that they could live a life that was pleasing to God. With Christ, though, there was a brand new possibility---Something that no one ever even imagined, outside of a few prophets, that many had written off as crazy. With Christ, there was reconciliation to take the place of rules, healing for hurt, beauty for ashes, and hope where there was heartache. Jesus Christ presents us each day with the opportunity to have a new life...not just a new day, but a NEW LIFE! The thought staggers the imagination!

Thank You, God, for the babe in the straw...for the "brave little boy, who was God, and made Himself nothing...He gave up His pride, and He came here to die like a man".

Thank You, God, for Jesus...

UPDATES EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do a little exploring on your visit to our website today---we've got new music links for The Swift and Mute Math; tons of new resource links, including Threadsmedia, Thinkbooks, Seekfindbible.com, Intervarsity Fellowship, Urbana, New Attitude, Relevant Books, Ed Young, Planet Wisdom, and the greatest T-shirt site ever, Randomshirts.com! Check out new photos from our Halloween night trip to Walk on Water, as well. Calendar updates are coming soon, as soon as I can motivate my sorry keister...

We've seen a lot of great things happening in Delta lately---an incredible night at Walk on Water, Miss Elaine Anglin's amazing testimony at Mystory, and our students are doing a really good job of raising money for the families we've adopted for Give a Christmas.

Here's some listening recommendations for you for this holiday season---John Fahey's "New Possibility" is an old acoustic recording of some Christmas classics by one of the greatest guitarist's ever. Now, for something you might actually be able to find---Andrew Peterson's "Behold the Lamb of God" really pushes us to remember the whole story behind Christmas---It takes you from creation all the way to Jesus' death and resurrection in the span of one album. If you have the opportunity, the "Behold the Lamb of God" tour is coming to Heritage Christian Church in Fayetteville, GA on Dec. 8. It's an incredible concert, featuring artists like Derek Webb, Sandra McCracken, Jill Phillips, Randall Goodgame, and many other great Christian songwriters and musicians. Check it out!

Peace---
