I started my new job at Willow Creek Community Church about four months ago, and it’s great to be soaking in the culture of a new workplace–especially one that is faith-centered. One of my new coworkers is Aaron Niequist, Willow Creek’s Weekend Worship Leader. He is a very creative and intentional guy, and he posts to his blog several times a week.
One of his more recent posts, titled “Did We Just Sing That?”, really hit me. It zones in on a lyrics from a popular worship song that seems very boastful. I had the similar thoughts the first time I heard that song, and I’m glad that Aaron was able to write his opinion. You can check it out by clicking on the blog post name above.
Just read thru the blog and a few comments. Certainly, our God is bigger and stronger than our selves and our problems. He is also bigger and stronger than the god of Islam (for example) and the problems those adherents might cause in the name of Islam. This is a statement of hope for when problems arise.
I would add the sentiment that our God is more loving, more merciful, more caring than other gods.
