Worship Post: "Keep Our Eyes Open" by The Nashville Nine

"Keep Our Eyes Open" by The Nashville Nine is a song that talks about keeping our eyes open no matter what.

 First a bit of History, this song was wrote for Young Life by a group of musicians that remain anonymous.

 The first verse of the song goes, "Anything could happen
Anything is possible
We could leave it all behind
We could be unstoppable
This could be the first day of the future
The last day of the past
This could be the start of something greater
Don't let this moment pass"

I absolutely love that verse! We are reminded of Romans 8:31 which states "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for Us, Who can Be against us?"

The chorus is one of the most powerful choruses, I have ever seen! The chorus goes, "We gotta keep our eyes, keep our eyes, open
Oh we gotta keep our eyes, keep our eyes, open
Hands held high, running to the light
We gotta keep our eyes, keep our eyes, open"

Throughout all of our troubles, we gotta keep our eyes open. I am currently reading a book by Pastor Craig Groeschel called "Hope In The Dark" throughout all of our troubles, we NEED to have Hope In The Dark!!

The 2nd Verse goes, "We all have a place here
What if we were made for this?
What if there is grace here?
We don't want to miss it
Could it be the life we've always wanted?
The answer to the fear
Could it be a love that lasts forever?
What if God is here?"

Throughout all of it, we gotta have Hope In The Dark! The overall theme of this song is we have to have Hope throughout all of the darkest moments!

The bridge makes us all think, if we can hear it. We need to listen closely, The bridge goes, "Can you hear it?
Listen closely
Look around you
All the beauty"

The overall theme of this song, is to keep our eyes open!

If you have any song suggestions that I should write or if you would like to take control of my blog for a day, email me at darianthechristian@gmail.com

Raised In A Prosperity Gospel Church: Behind Closed Doors

This will be a fun story to tell. For the longest time when I was a kid me and my grandmother went to a Assemblies of God church which is known for the Prosperity Gospel. My grandmother put so much money into the church and she didn't know what this pastor was actually doing with the money. This pastor was spending the money on gambling. He claimed to his church members that the church would close. Turns out it eventually did due to loss of funds. My grandmother went into bankrupt because of this church. That is not all. This "pastor" claimed to be blind and losing all his health. My family members spotted this guy driving. I feel ashamed to call this a church. I believed in this church. I was fooled by this Pastor. But God gave me guidance into it. God saved me and my family from it and brought us to a church that is Gospel Preaching.

Song Opinion: "One Thing Remains" by Bethel

"One Thing Remains" by Bethel Music expresses the One Thing that has never changed over the ages and that thing is Jesus' love. The verse of the song goes: " higher than the mountains that I face stronger than the power of the grave constant in the trial and the change This one thing remains This one thing remains" Whatever we are going through Jesus will always be there. He is constant in the trial and the change, only One Thing Remains. I absolutely love how the Chorus goes: " your love never fails, it never gives up it never runs out on me  Your love never fails, it never gives up it never runs out on me  Your love never fails, it never gives up it never runs out on me  Your love" The one thing that never changes through the ages is his eternal love. Ever since he first sent Jesus Christ his love has endured forever. His love never changes. There may be pain in the night, but I can assure you that joy comes in the morni

Song Opinion: "Reckless Love" by Cory Asbury

"Reckless Love" by Cory Asbury reflects a love that is reckless. If you look closely at the word Reckless it comes out as " characterized by or proceeding from such carelessness:" But was God actually Reckless? It depends on how YOU define Reckless. If you look at the bible believe it or not Jesus was Reckless. If we look at the story whenever Jesus was in the temple and he supposedly flipped over many tables. He was reckless in that story. But he only flipped over 1 table because to be truthful if he flipped over many wouldn't he get kicked out of the temple.  But what was on that table, you ask? The answer to that question is Lambs to be sacrificed. But let's get to the song. Verse 1 of the song goes: Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me You have been so, so good to me Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me You have been so, so kind to me Yes God, has been out there since the very beginning, at least the song ha
