Faithware Passages

I have posted about this website in the past, but it has been quite awhile and there has been many new additions, so please check them out again by clicking here.

This also leads into a theme that I have been thinking about posting about. Real testimonies by real people with real struggles. If there has been one consistent theme in my posts, it’s that I try and stress good news.  I have been reading more and more about familiar names who are publicly discussing their relationship with Jesus Christ and seeing many unheralded stories. So you may see some posts on these in the future.

If your not familiar with Andy Stanley, you need to be. He is the Senior Pastor at North Point Community Church in Atlanta Church. He help start up Northpoint Ministries in 1995 which now includes 3 churches in the Metro Atlanta area and 20 strategic partner churches.

I have been listening to his pod casts for quite awhile now and he has an amazing talent of bringing the bible to life and then relating it to current everyday living. He usually spreads a theme out over several weeks and tackles it from several angles. Fresh, thought provoking, funny and is a gifted speaker. The good news is he has free podcasts on I-tunes here.

Check him out, you’ll be glad you did.

I am not sure why I haven’t heard this promoted at all, I was just lucky to happen upon it on the web. I was floored once I saw what it was about and who was involved. Check out the video and you’ll see what I mean.

Here is their website

The combination cd/dvd was released Jan 27, 2009. it includes 14 new songs from 12 incredible songwriters - Paul Baloche, Steven Curtis Chapman, Stu G (Delirious?), Israel Houghton, Tim Hughes, Graham Kendrick, Andy Park, Matt Redman, Martin Smith (Delirious?), Michael W. Smith, Chris Tomlin, Darlene Zschech.  If that’s not enough it includes 7 guest vocalists - Kirk Franklin, Amy Grant, Joel Houston, Leeland Mooring, Christy Nockels, tobyMac, CeCe Winans.

The way it works is that everyone involved in these songs (producers, songwriters, managers, etc..) signed over their royalties for these songs to Compassion Art. 1/24 of the royalties will go to each of the songwriters personal charity that they desginated and the other 50 percent goes to 4 of the charities that CompassionArt specified, Hand Of Hope, Watoto, Ray Of Hope and Stop The Traffik.

I am ordering my cd as soon as I am done writing this post.  I’ve listened to the previews and it sounds great to me so far. But even if by some odd chance that these 19 incredible songwriters and singers somehow put out a stinker of a disc, it would still be one of the best things I could have done with that $14.99.

Oh, and don’t forget about their book and coffee!
