Discovery Church Hosts John Mark McMillan w/ Bellarive Live
Discovery Church is partnering with RELEVANT Magazine to host John Mark McMillan in concert on August 27, with special guests Bellarive.
This is a FREE event!
John wrote the unforgettable anthem, “How He Loves” (check out the behind the scenes film he made and try not to be moved):
He has a brand new album, The Medicine, which is amazing. John is one of our favorite artists, and we’re honored to host him in concert. If you can come, you NEED to.
Bellarive will also be playing this night and if you’ve been around the blog you know that they’re one of my absolute favorites!
This will be a great opportunity for parents and students to worship together!
Doors open at 7 pm. Come early to get a good seat.
Response to Hate
You may have seen members of Westboro Baptist Church on the news: protesting with their signs and shouting some of the most hateful things you’ve ever heard at military funerals, gay weddings, and anything with a connection to Obama.
Last week WBC found a new target to lash out at in the “nerds” attending Comic-Con in San Diego. They held signs that read: “God Hates Nerds” and shouted,
“The destruction of this is imminent – so start calling on Batman and Superman now, see if they can pull you from the mess that you have created with all your silly idolatry”
I encountered WBC while living in Virginia as they protested the funeral of Jerry Falwell. I took the opportunity to have a conversation with a couple of the protesters. It went nowhere fast.
Every time I see Westboro Baptist in the media I cringe. I’ve written 5 or 6 posts responding to WBC, none of which have seen the light of day because each one seems to crawl down to their level. I was even invited to have a conversation about it with the folks at Irreverent Podcast and had to ask them to edit out some of what I said because I wanted to respond in love rather than anger.
So the questions remains, how should I respond? I saw this video a few weeks ago and think it’s brilliant.
How will you respond to the hate you encounter?
Featured Worship: Gungor
I connect with God through music.
From time to time I’ll feature bands and worship leaders, both well known and those flying under the radar, who are drawing The Church to the feet of Jesus.
This week: Gungor. I had the chance to check out Gungor when Bellarive opened for them a few months back in Orlando. Such an amazing band!
John Mark McMillan
I’ve become a huge fan of John Mark McMillan’s music over the last few month. His full length album “The Medicine” dropped today! Order it here … h, ttp://bit.ly/the_medicine.
