u you can t do this you re not cut out for this etc just a thought by steven furtick not s enough for now but i really encourage and suggest everyone to check out that message by steven let it speak into your own life he made so many more great points posted in uncategorized leave a comment raising hands continued posted on march 26 2015 march 26 2015 by joshua huffman last time i wrote it was about raising hands in worship link here at the very end of the post i said i would challenge myself to raising my hands i started off in just my living room all alone turned on the worship music and i raised my hands it may have been one of the most awkward things i ve ever done i kept thinking to myself this is so silly but quickly i was reminded of that verse about king david after he was caught dancing before the lord david says this in 2 samuel 6 22 i will become even more undignified than this and i will be humiliated in my own eyes something about that encouraged me it brought me peace and joy in that moment raising hands didn t even seem like it was enough anymore i wanted to do more i began to embrace the silliness of it because some how it brought me so much joy that i could worship god in that manner i could fell god s joy taking control of me i was excited to do it again but next time not alone but with others my age in the church when that time came i was perfectly content keeping my hands in my pockets i didn t see the point again i thought maybe i will in the second half of worship when the second half of worship came again i was perfectly content with keeping my hands in my pocket i thought about worship it bothered me that i knew exactly when a large group of people could raise their hands i could predict on the beat when it would happen there are certain worship cues that makes it happen sometimes it s the progression of the drums beating faster sometimes it s the progression of the band playing louder sometimes it is triggered through certain words such as fire heart raised hands and etc it discouraged me i felt like worship time almost because a performance from the bands perspective if we just do this this and that than we will have people raising their hands and that will make our performance successful i honestly don t think that s the case but in the moment that is what i was being fed i didn t want to be a part of that system i didn t want to be manipulated to raise my hands i didn t want others to think i was raising my hands because of the progression of the drums the loudness of the band or even the stillness of the band i didn t want to be a part of the created experience pride had set up a wall to keep me from worshipping god a wall so high i couldn t see what worship was really about about praising god for who he is to be honest i believe we most let go of control after all isn t it the worship leaders job to get us to praise god what i learned is that i need to let go of my pride and my control and hand it over in this case hand it over to the worship leader let go it took me to the last couple songs to be reminded why i had even wanted to raise my hands in the first place just to pray over the people it took me a while i kept thinking i don t want to raise my hands now because i know everyone else will be or i don t want to raise my hands now because there s no reason to in this point of the song and i don t want people to think i m dumb just back and forth back and forth the thing is if i were to listen to those two statements than i would never raise my hands i would never do anything but sit back and watch everyone else something promptly and i finally took my head out of worship and i just started praying with raised hands at first again it was so incredibly weird not to mention it takes a lot of strength to keep holding your arms up but i did i embraced the silliness of it it didn t take long before i couldn t imagine praying any other way as i finished my prayer i kept my hands raised and enjoyed the rest of worship like so embrace it god is so great the more you can let go and just let the silliness take over the better don t hold back let it go posted in food for thought tagged awkward christian church david god music performance praise raising hands worship leave a comment raising holy hands to god posted on march 19 2015 march 19 2015 by joshua huffman 1 timothy 2 8 nlt in every place of worship i want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to god free from anger and controversy the first time i noticed this passage was a while back while reading it from the nlt version what really stood out to me was that men should raise their hands during times of worship to pray to god for what i had supposed it was to pray for the people and that their hearts may be opened to god s greatness and that all would worship him as one body it stood out to me mostly because well i am not a hand raiser why i ve never seen how raising my hands make me any closer to god as to not raising my hands i ve always thought it was a personal thing some people raise hands some people dance some people sing some people run around some people digest it all inside everyone is different everyone has their own way of worship and i am personally not one to conform to what everyone is doing just because i need a reason shortly after i read this passage i heard a sermon by craig groeschel of lifechurch or churchonline his message was about worship and he made an interesting point about raising hands in worship it basically went like this if you re surrounding yourself wether to the police or in a game don t we surrender with our arms in the air or how about when we receive victory let s say a touchdown goal etc don t we also celebrate by placing our arms in the air in celebration now what is the point of worship isn t it to surrender our lives to christ while also proclaiming victory in his presence it makes me think a little but the idea of it just seems silly but then i think of 2 samuel 6 21 22 will celebrate before the lord i will become even more undignified than this and i will be humiliated in my own eyes david knows his dancing is silly before the lord but he doesn t care in fact he says he will get even more silly why because his love for god is greater than his own pride ego that s interesting to think about but there s more i looked at several other versions of 1 timothy 2 8 and the nlt was the only version to use the word worship 1 timothy 2 8 nlt in every place of worship i want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to god free from anger and controversy esv i desire then that in every place the men should pray lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling niv therefore i want the men everywhere to pray lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing nkjv i desire therefore that the men pray everywhere lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting msg 8 10 since prayer is at the bottom of all this what i want mostly is for men to pray not shaking angry fists at enemies but raising holy hands to god and i want women to get in there with the men in humility before god not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions but doing something beautiful for god and becoming beautiful doing it all these other versions say everywhere paul is telling us to raise our hands in prayer everywhere it s not just in the place of worship it s everywhere well actually worship can be any and everywhere i think that is pretty radical for me it s a challenging idea pray with your hands lifted to the father that s what i want to leave this post to be challenged by just once try it i know i will why well cause i can t imagine any other idea what paul would have meant in raising holy hands to god maybe it was just a figure of speech but maybe there is also some kind of power of lifting your hands free from angry free from pride and embracing in the silliness i don t now but i am willing to try posted in food for thought tagged 1 timothy christian father god hands jesus lord music praise surrender worship 1 comment it s not enough to hear but to do posted on march 17 2015 by joshua huffman warning no scripture found here just thoughts i ve found one of the greatest things to be as hearing a message about god s great love for me not just hearing but also reading about it in blogs journaling about it reading about it in books and etc it s an amazing pick me up and makes me feel so much better as a person it s the message that everyone deep down inside craves to hear ultimate acceptance despite all that you ve done complete peace joy and love despite all that you ve done but at the same time the message of the gospel doesn t infinitely last in our hearts all to often i ve seen in myself how full of the spirit i can get during the time of hearing god s message but as soon as i am doing hearing it the next morning a week later it goes away and it s really hard to still have that joy and peace as i did when i first heard the message i get so accustomed to living back how i was before i heard the message that the message just doesn t seem to exist anymore in my life that is until i hear another great sermon simply about god s great love for me again then again i feel an undeniable love for god a passion a fire inside of my heart i remember who god is and how great he is but after the message is over i go back to where i was it s a cycle going back and force between loving god with all my heart to forgetting who god is in my life it makes me feel fake i have to constantly go back to his word to hearing sermon messages to reading to constantly be reminded of his love for me otherwise it s so easy for me to slip back into the world it s something i have to fight for i no longer believe it s enough to just hear god s message of love i don t believe it s our purpose i believe our purpose or at least mine is to seek out ways to show god s love to others it s not enough to receive god s message but to also give it is better to give than to receive relevant magazine posted an article found here at the end of the article there was a quote that i deeply believe in gather a group of friends to read study and brainstorm ways to engage locally and globally isn t this what jesus tells and shows us over and over again wasn t this the way he did his ministry but he didn t have to brainstorm he just did for me receiving the message of god s love isn t enough it s what i want to live out i want to continue god s ministry in others what better way to receive god s love than to show it to others in need i just can t imagine what a difference it would make not just in my own life but others if i replaced time i spent on meaningless things and replaced it with time where i engage locally and or globally with others how cool and awesome would that be hell is real the internal struggles people face everyday is real but if you would be the person that helps show them god s love wouldn t that be cool wouldn t it be cool to be a first hand witness to seeing others transform their lives i know i do posted in uncategorized leave a comment what dust is collecting over your window posted on march 12 2015 by joshua huffman lamentations 2 18 19 cry aloud before the lord o walls of beautiful jerusalem let your tears flow like a river day and night give yourselves no rest give your eyes no relief rise during the night and cry out pour out your hearts like water to the lord lift up your hands to him in prayer pleading for your children for in every street they are faint with hunger that s pretty intense if you think about it a little back story basically jerusalem has committed sins against the lord what a surprise because of their sins the lord has removed his mercy from their land and now destruction is upon them jerusalem is being attacked but it doesn t matter how much effort they put into fighting back they can t win because the lord has removed his protection from them the lord even broke down his own temple in jerusalem the prophets are no longer receiving visions from the lord it seems jerusalem has done some pretty terrible things against the lord perhaps maybe even more terrible than anything you ve ever done then again perhaps not whatever it was it made god furious there s two things i can t help but notice in these verses though 1 jerusalem is still referred to as beautiful so despite the many sins of jerusalem it is still referred to as beautiful i just can t imagine facing anyone s wrath but yet in the middle of it you re still referred to as beautiful jerusalem was is god s chosen nation chosen people even in his wrath he still loves them 2 there s forgiveness this one might be easy to miss despite the misery jerusalem is in they are still being told to offer their hearts back to god they committed some pretty terrible sins against god is currently experiencing his wrath but somehow they are still being offered forgiveness through repentance and committing their hearts back to god this all relates back to us in the first chapter of ephesians paul uses some pretty crazy words to describe god s relationship to us he used words such as he choose us v 4 holy and blameless v 4 predestined us for adoption v 5 predestined repeated in v 11 sealed with the promised holy spirit v 13 as jerusalem was god s chosen people we all are now god s chosen people through faith in christ jesus through faith we are all his beautiful children and that s the way he is going to refer to both you and i despite what we do through faith we have forgiveness of sins galatians reminds us over and over again that we are no longer slaves of the law but slaves of christ it s all about him it s not about us it s not about what you ve done are doing and will do it s about what he has done for us nothing can change his love for us i believe the catch if there is one is this the more we chose to live for the world the less of god we will see in our life i heard this beautiful illustration of a glass window the other day sunlight was trying to enter the room but because of the filthiness of the window the sunlight couldn t reach into the room dust had collected and layered itself over the window that dust is our sins if we let it continue in our lives your sins are forgivable but they still leave a mark on us the strongest impact is that it gets in the way of letting christ s light into our heart the more we sin the less we feel god that s not to say if you aren t feeling god it is because of some sin in your life but often because of sin we separate ourselves from god it s the consequence of the choice we make when we sin our sin creates a filter over the window and that changes the effect of god s light into our hearts but there is always forgiveness your window can always be cleaned and not just cleaned but be made new and bigger no matter the guilt you are feeling even if it is greater or less then the guilt we see in lamentations 2 god can restore your heart that s exciting we c...
