MercyMe Concert
MercyMe Concert and Powerful Song Lyrics
Have you ever been to a MercyMe concert?
If not, you should check them out next time they tour in your area.
I’ve always been a fan, but having recently listened to their “Welcome to the New” album, they’ve risen to the top of my list of favorite Christian bands.
Most recently, my husband and I had the thrill of hearing them in a live concert on the beach in the Bahamas.
There are so many great songs on their album that I find myself listening to their music at least once a day now. Sometimes, their lyrics even pop up in my head at night when I’m trying to sleep.
I hope MercyMe will be around forever. Their engaging music and powerful lyrics will touch your heart.
Here’s their website if you’d like more information on MercyMe concerts and tour news.
Here’s one of my favorite songs called “Greater.” If you listen (and read closely) in the video below, you’ll see there’s a lot of wisdom and meaning there.
No Condemnation for the Redeemed
Do you feel beat up sometimes?
Who hasn’t, right?
Whether the verbal arrows come from friends, an angry boss, acquaintances, or even family members, they can hurt. Unfortunately, troubles are a part of life in our fallen world and we’re taught in the Bible to expect trials of many kinds.
The angry words, betrayals, and/or lies about us are so unfair. Sometimes, the confrontations can turn physical.
What is our hope in those situations?
Better question, Who is our hope?
What we need to remember is that these hurtful people are on their own spiritual journey (whether they’d like to admit it or not.) They may call you a mistake (as the song “Greater” says) or treat you as if you have no value at all.
He Calls Us His Own
Our hope is in the One who lives inside of us, and He has called us His own.
The troubles we experience in this life are only temporary, even though it might seem like they’re going on forever.
Praise God that our ultimate peace comes, not from people, but from the fact that we are the Redeemed.
You are not a mistake, no matter what people may say.
Those who taunt and mock us are worthy of our prayers at night. God saw them worthy to be born and they are a part of life. Hopefully, with prayers for our enemies, some day their lives may turn around, just as yours did when you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
Remember, Paul was once Saul of Tarsus. “Saul” was well known for his hatred of Christians. But God had other plans for him.
It’s not always easy, but when I hear some of today’s politicians rant against Christianity and the sanctity of life, I try to remember Paul. There is Hope for America and that we can have a spiritual revival in this country. It has happened before and it is greatly needed now.
Those who hate and mock anything having to do with the one true God still have an opportunity to turn their lives to Christ.
I will always hold out hope for those who have thrown their anger my way, praying for them every night that they will come to know the Lord.
From John 6:37, NASB,
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.
Blessings and have a great week!
And a big thank you to MercyMe for your great music. Keep it coming!
