…rise up holy nation, God we live for You, You have called us out of darkness into light so glorious…
GOD WE LIVE FOR YOU!
This was the chorus to the theme song for both camps I took students to this summer. It’s a song written by Chris Tomlin and was sung during the Passion 2010 Conference! (A conference for college students from around the world during their Christmas Break.) The song is based out of 1 Peter 2:9. Hear these words written by Peter:
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
The verses to the song talk about how we should run with passion after God, how He has given us freedom, and how God will not be moved or shaken!
Do you believe those words?
Do you believe you are part of the Chosen Generation?
Do you want to live for God?
Do you want to run with passion after Him?
Do you believe He will not be moved or shaken?
Now this song was sung at a college conference and camp to encourage our students to believe they can make a difference in this world if they truly seek after Jesus Christ with their whole heart. It does not make a difference how young or old you may be.
It matters more if you want to be a part of…
God’s Chosen People…
The Royal Priesthood…
A People belonging to God…
Do you want to be a part of the church (worldwide) that sees a generation of change?
A chosen generation that…
Lives for God…
that wants to be called out of darkness and into the light…
Do you want to share those truths with others?
Do you want to see the church prosper again?
If you answered yes to all or most of these, then you want to be a part of the Chosen Generation….
You want to change the world for Christ…
You want to transform not only yourself, but others as well…
You want to make disciples…
We as the United Methodist Church have the mission statement, “The mission of the Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.”
Do you believe you are making disciples?
Do you believe you are making Christ-followers?
Do you believe you are transforming the world?
We are called to be the chosen generation. The generation that makes disciples, that changes people’s lives, and transforms the world. I pray and hope we want to be a part of that. Below is the link to the song “Chosen Generation” by Chris Tomlin.
GOD WE LIVE FOR YOU!
We are a Chosen Generation…
