Is God a Megalomaniac?


Tuesday

Jesus is the Father's Glory Revealed

And the Glory of the Lord shall be revealed; and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken. Isaiah 40:5

And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. Luke 2:9

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”. Luke 2

Forgive? Why?

It seems ridiculous that we should forgive people for horrible, terrible things they have done to us....until, that is, that we fully realize the extent of our offense against our Father.  And yet, we were forgiven.  If we really think about it, our conclusion will be that the ridiculous thing is that He forgave us.       

23 "Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.
24 When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 And since he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.'
27 And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.
28 But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii, and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, 'Pay what you owe.'
29 So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you.'
30 He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt.
31 When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place.
32 Then his master summoned him and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me.
33 And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?'
34 And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, until he should pay all his debt.
35 So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart."

A Mighty Fortress is our God

Our God is, a consuming fire,
A burning holy Flame, with glory and freedom
Our God is, the only righteous judge,
Ruling over us with kindness and wisdom


We will keep our eyes on You
We will keep our eyes on You


A mighty fortress is our God
A sacred refuge is Your Name
Your Kingdom is unshakable
With You forever we will reign


Our God is, jealous for His own
None could comprehend, His love and His mercy
Our God is exalted on His throne
High above the heavens
Forever He’s worthy...


We will keep our eyes on You
We will keep our eyes on You


We will keep our eyes on You
We will keep our eyes on You
So we can set our hearts on You
Lord we will set our hearts on You!

Our God Is Greater

Water you turned into wine
Opened the eyes of the blind
There's no one like you
None like you

Into the darkness you shine
Out of the ashes we rise
There is no one like you
None like you

Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God you are higher than any other
Our God is Healer
Awesome in power
Our God
Our God

And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against?

-Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin & 22,000 Children of the Most High at Passion 2010

God is Not an Egomaniac

"God is not an egomaniac. This is grace. This is love."

Awakening

Holy Spirit we desire awakening
For You and You alone
Awake my soul, awake my soul
Your will be done, Your will be done in me

In Your presence, In Your power awaken me
For this moment, for this hour, awaken me
Like the rising sun that shines
Awake my soul, Awake my soul & sing!

From the darkness comes a light
Awake my soul, Awake my soul & sing!
Only You can raise a life
Awake my soul, Awake my soul & sing!
I hear Your voice say "This is my awakening"

-Chris Tomlin and 22,000 Redeemed at Passion 2010

We Know Where the Spirit of the Lord Is!

We know where the Spirit of the Lord is
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty

We know living in Your freedom
Living in Your freedom we see Your glory

We know where the Spirit of the Lord is
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty

We're Yours and Yours is the Kingdom!
We're Yours and Yours is the Kingdom!

You are the flame that burns inside
We need Your presence more than anything
You're all that we want
You're all that we need

Say, Say You Believe It

Some are chasing the treasures of this world
We run to a glorious reward
The only Name worth living for!

Say, Say, Say you believe it
Sing for the whole world to hear it
We know and we declare it, Jesus is King

Say, Say, Say you believe it
Sing loud, sing like you mean it
We know and we declare it, Jesus is King

We open wide our mouths to praise
Let this generation raise
A song of freedom all our days!

I believe (I believe)
Your Kingdom Come (Your Kingdom Come)
Son of God (Son of God)
King of Love (King of Love)

-Christian Stanfill and 22,000 daughter & sons of the Most High at Passion 2010

You Alone Can Rescue (We Lift Up Our Eyes)

Who, oh Lord, could save themselves
There own soul could heal?
Our shame was deeper than the sea
Your grace is deeper still

You alone can rescue
You alone can save
You alone can lift us from the grave
You came down to find us
Led us out of death
To You alone belongs the highest praise

So we lift up our eyes
We lift up our eyes
To the Giver of life

We lift up our eyes
We lift up our eyes
To the Giver of life

- Matt Redman and 22,000 sons and daughters of the Most High at Passion 2010

The Stand

I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe
Of the One who gave it all
I'll stand
My soul, Lord, to You surrendered
All I have is Yours

-Hillsong United and 15,000 College Students at Passion 2010

With Everything

With everything
With everything
We will shout forth Your glory

With everything
With everything
We will shout forth Your praise

Our hearts they cry
Be lifted high
Be glorified
Above all things

For You our King
With everything
We will shout forth Your praise

- Hillsong United & 15,000 college students at Passion 2010

More Poetry from the Same Source

When years of time shall pass away
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
When men, who here refuse to pray
On rocks and hills and mountains call
God’s love so sure, shall still endure
All measureless and strong
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race
The saints’ and angels’ song
