Blog Accountability and Passion 08 Atlanta
Since Matt Stanley is holding me accountable to my blogging(thanks Matt) here ya go. I have been meaning to make a post anyways, since I did just go to Passion Atlanta this past weekend. As always Passion is simply amazing. All across the board they get it right. Passion is the one conference that I would suggest everyone go to at least once before they die. To get a glimpse of it check out the intro they did with this amazing rocking version of Bittersweet Symphony with a full orchestra and band, someone posted it on youtube. Instead of going into the details of any of the music or the messages I would suggest you download the album God of The City from itunes and the messages when they make them available. I could never do the conference justice with my words that’s for sure. I will say this though, the song God of the City was amazing and even more so after you hear the story behind it. I will give you the short version. This band that opened up for Tomlin in Ireland are the ones that wrote the song. They said the song just came to them during a very amazing moment. They went on a mission trip to…. I believe it was Thailand(Saget is from there) anyways, the place they were at was like this horrible place full of prostitution and they said like 80% of the women there are prostitutes. Anyways the whole point is that this place was awful, and they were asked to preform at a brothel as long as people were buying drinks. So the group decides to preform while the rest of them buy drinks so they can keep playing worship songs. They said at some point this song just happened, and they just wrote it right on the spot in this brothel. When you hear the song, it will give you chills and especially after knowing the story. The one thing that stands out at Passion above the production, worship, and speaking is the heart of the people behind it. These people truly do not want to be noticed and they truly want it to be about God and not about anything else. I pray that Passion is the direction that all churches are heading. A heart and desire to make Jesus famous and not ourselves.
Hey man. WordPress just changed the way you embed. You have to click the “add video” thing when you’re making a post and insert the link. It’ll look like this . It took me a little while to figure it out myself.
