They led “How He Loves”, and by the end of it, the entire auditorium was standing with many lifting their hands in worship!</p> <p>It was incredible to see these students take a stand for Christ and be unashamed to praise His name in their public school! God is doing a powerful work in and through this generation, and revival is taking place right now.</p> <p>This is only a taste of what God has in store!</p> <p>Here is the video from last night. We encourage you to watch the entire thing, but especially from 6:40 on. </p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="380" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/36547496?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0" width="676"></iframe></p> <p>Let this be an inspiration and encouragement to all of us to step outside of our comfort zone and expect God to do big things through us!

When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people. Unfortunately, that’s too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.”</h2> <p>— <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs">Steve Jobs</a>, an American computer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrepreneur" title="Entrepreneur">entrepreneur</a> and innovator.

No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It’s life’s change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new. right now, the new is you. Right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it’s quite true. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important have the courage to follow your own heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”</h2> <p>— Steve Jobs (1955 - 2011)</p> <p><em>Goodbye, Steve…</em></p> </blockquote>http://blog.zajas.com/post/11128595057http://blog.zajas.com/post/11128595057Thu, 06 Oct 2011 22:25:03 -0500DeathLifeQuoteSpeechSteve JobsTime“One man wakes, awakens another, second one wakes his next door brother, three awake and arouse a town and turn the whole place upside down, many awake will cause such a fuss, it finally awakes the rest of us, one man awakes with dawn in his eyes, truly then it multiplies.”<br/><br/> - <em>Lawrence Tribble</em>http://blog.zajas.com/post/10990512777http://blog.zajas.com/post/10990512777Mon, 03 Oct 2011 15:45:00 -0500quotepoeminspiration<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls8m9hs4vc1qcr8gbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Starting a series on Elijah tonight—excited to see what God’s going to do!

And it is. Time is a fickle though, a dichotomy of sorts: fast but slow, flying by behind you while simultaneously seeming so long and distant ahead of you.</p> <p>My marriage to this incredible woman has been both fast and slow. The past four years have seemed to fly by as we&#8217;ve loved, laughed, and lived together intimately intertwined as only a husband and wife can be. I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s already been four years. At the same time it seems like we were never apart.
