So you screwed up…

Published by Ben under General


So what, you screwed up, just like you knew you probably would. I’m hear to tell you will screw up again. You will have to fight to break free. You are a sheep and you have gone astray. You have to hear the masters voice, the shepherd, the King, or you will never break free from your bondage. You have to follow that voice. You can pray a prayer, but it’s really important what you do after you have prayed it.

Crazy Love

Published by Ben under General


Last week at Westside Church

Everlasting God (Lincoln Brewster)
Ready Now (Jared Anderson)
Jesus Messiah (Tomlin)
Rescue (Anderson)

He is coming back again, he is coming back again, he is coming back again. His spirit WILL reign above all of your circumstances. His LOVE will conquer all hardships. Do you realize that your prayers can reach to the farthest depths on this earth? I pray YOU would repent and turn to him who will make you, shape you, and LOVE you.

Father, I don’t deserve your love and grace, but I receive it with gladness and joy in my heart.

Where have I been?

Published by Ben under General


Good question. I took a position as full-time Worship Leader of Westside Church in Simpsonviile, SC. It’s been really fun so far. I’m leading worship this weekend and I am so excited about it!

More ramblings later.

Last Day On Earth

Published by Ben under General


Oh, if this should be my last day on this earth
How then shall I live
Oh, if this should be the last day that I have
Before I breathe the air of Heaven
Let me live it with abandon to
The only thing that remains
After my last day here on earth

Above is song text by Steven Curtis Chapman. It sparked a question in my mind. What would your life look like if you knew you had only one day, 24 hours, from now to live? I’m not trying to come across as morbid. I’m only asking you to self-examine yourself.

Much to my demise I lived much of college like this. If there was something to do, I was doing it. I was out and about as much as possible. I did not like to be not busy. I prided myself on having a full calendar. Over the years that has changed for me.

On the other hand do you ever feel like your so busy that you can not enjoy life? I always had this thought that the homework really did not matter. The test, big deal, it’s a test. My heart beat was always to play music. I really have never cared to analyse it. Everything else took a back seat.

I think if I had the one last day to live, I would do everything with reckless abandon. I’d drive with reckless abandon, maybe go shoot some guns or something southern and American, and then spend as much time as possible with my family, roommates, and Stacy.

I don’t know when the Lord is coming back, but I do know that I’ll spend eternity with him.
