Friberg's Friday Favorite

I put up this song a couple of months ago. Awakening is an amazing song. I listen to this song, worship with it, and look forward to Chris Tomlin's studio version (coming out on November 16th). This song can be used in any worship service (Sunday morning, small group, etc.).

Take a Break

Every Thursday, I want to take a second and offer a little thought for the day.

1 Corinthians 1:9 says, "God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."

Paul is addressing the church in Corinth. I really like how Paul acknowledges the people whom he is writing. He is thankful to God for the believers in Corinth and he is letting them all know how he feels. Paul is laying a solid foundation for the church in Corinth (and us today).

The best part of chapter one is the phrase, "God is faithful." Read it again, "God is faithful."

How often are those 3 words forgotten? Do we believe what Paul wrote? Do we REALLY think that God is faithful? If so, why do our lives display something different? I was talking with a man a couple of weeks ago and he shared with me how he was abused as child. He grew up in fear and never trusted God or the people around him. One day, a guy from Blue Ridge (the church we go to) listened and cared for this man. He invited him to come to church and the rest is history. God was faithful to this abused individual and opened many doors for healing and ministry to flow in and through his life.

God is faithful. He has called us into a relationship with Jesus. No matter what will happen, God will be faithful to lead and draw us to Himself. I think that is exciting and amazing!
