In the face of this modern nihilism, Christians are often lacking in courage. We tend to give the impression that we will hold on to the outward forms whatever happens, even if god really is not there. But the opposite ought to be true of us, so that people can see that we demand the truth of what is there and that we are not dealing merely with platitudes. In other words, it should be understood that we take the question of truth and personality so seriously that if God were not there we would be among the first of those who had the courage to step out of the queue. - Francis Schaeffer

RSSBefore there was Rosalyn - The Revealer
This is how the end begins.
The holy city ignites with a great noise.
There’s a fire above the sea with a flame that calls out to you and to me.
The multitudes make their way.
Their sins are bricks in their hands.
One more piece to add to the great wall of despair.
Oh, we have seen this before.
Through the eyes of the prophet.
This is how the end begins. (x3)
The holy city ignites with a great noise!
Heaven comes like a song that shakes the sun and the moon!
It shakes the sun and the moon!
And the judgment comes like the sea, with eyes lit with a flame that gave birth to the ocean.
Time.
The ocean.
The ocean of time.
I once was afraid to die, but I heard a voice call out:
Behold I AM the One who was dead (x3)
And is alive, is alive, evermore.
The holy city ignites with a great noise!
Heaven comes like a song that shakes the sun and the moon!
It shakes the sun and the moon!
And this is how the end begins!
The holy city ignites with a great noise!
Heaven comes like a song that shakes the sun and the moon!
It shakes the sun and the moon!
I was once afraid to die
I was the one who was dead, is alive
I am the one who was dead, is alive(x2)
I AM He. Elohim
Gideon - Milestone - Coward (by FacedownRecords)
Coward gutless child
Coward gutless excuse for a man
Too many times I’ve watched you raise your hand against my family
Too many hours hiding in my closet praying for
The strength to do something
To put an end to this
Woman why are you still there?
The fear of leaving should not outweigh the fear of staying
You don’t deserve this my diamond in the rough
You deserve the world my diamond in the rough
Don’t let anyone tell you different
Don’t let anyone ever tell you different
I will never understand what she saw in you
All the pain and suffering you put this family though
You are nothing to me but a gutless child You’re nothing to me
Show me a man who abuses the bottle
Ill show you a broken family
You don’t have to put up with this there is a way out
There is always a way out

I hope to live to see the time when there will be only two classes in this world—Christians and [unbelievers]—those who take their stand bravely for Him and those who take their stand against Him. This idea of men standing still and saying, “Well, I don’t know, but I think there must be something in it,” is absurd. If there is anything in it, there is everything in it. – D.L. Moody
The strength of patience hangs on our capacity to believe that God is up to something good for us in all our delays and detours.

Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as enduring as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame. Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with all his wealth, his offer would be utterly scorned.
- Song of Solomon 8:6-7 (via godmoves)
