Truth vs. Rubbish

What's up everyone?
     I'm passionate to see OneLoveSkateOutreach.com used to communicate the truth of Jesus with the world.

     I've been bummed to see people living for worthlessness lately. Basically, tons of people are building their lives on the sand of this world rather than on the rock of Jesus Christ. (It's a daily struggle for me as well). Today, as I read Zephaniah, I was challenged by how awesome our God is. When we don't represent God with our words and actions, we're not wise. I tweeted this earlier today: AWESOME God meets self-proclaimed "awesome" people, and THEY FALL IN AWE of HIM (Zeph 2:10-11).

      Especially with this broken foot still restraining my movement, it was pretty therapeutic to vent a little bit in my journal and pour my heart out to God this morning. This plea to God ended up in my notebook. Hopefully, you can be encouraged by this. I went ahead and uploaded it to Youtube. I'm trying to lead the way as I encourage other leaders to represent Jesus with Youtube Testimonies and Gospel Presentations. Here you go:

Truth vs. Rubbish

Oh God, Wickedness and emptiness
Engulfing those in ignorant bliss
God, Your justice can’t tolerate this;
God, show ‘em their foundation is rubbish
   
Mere fire insurance doesn’t exist.
Let us count the cost, take up our cross and persist.
One truly reborn can’t justify porn or any lifestyle of perpetual wickedness

But life to the full exists only in You,
Passion-superseding worldly gain-You’ve called us to pursue.

God, touch my lips, make me brand-new,
My life is surrendered, this joy in my pain is true.
I’m worthless without You,
John 15:5-6-merely dead sticks-useless
Useless, aimless, worthless, lifeless apart from You.

But I am in You, the Divine Vine-I’m Yours; You’re mine.
For my sin; you’ve traded HIM-Jesus: Savior, redeemer, KING, & friend.

O God, either kill me, or let me endure to the end,
Passionately, earnestly, pursuing Your humility,
Serving You Faithfully and leading courageously.

I wanna be-shoulder to shoulder with soldiers for Your Kingdom,
Reppin You, King Jesus, a slave to Your freedom.
In You AND this world; of YOU, Not this world.
Livin’ solely for Your Glory proclaiming Your Kingdom.

Proclaiming ONE LOVE - the love of a perfect judge.
A righteous, Holy God, whose justice won’t budge
But who made a way to redeem the obscene by crushing Jesus Christ on Calvary’s tree
*That because of grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone-
God’s justice is satisfied by Jesus’ perfect life
That we can die to sin and LIVE IN Christ.

By Your grace and mercy let Your people stand boldly,
Living for eternity-never temporary insanity,
Drunk in YOU Jesus, reppin’ You Jesus,
Faithful and TRUE, JESUS-

You’ve made us new, now please help us to live wholly for You-For TRUTH.

      I hope that encourages you guys. It's the cry of my heart. Let's seek to live for truth. Follow up if you want to know more about Jesus. Check out some of the Gospel Presentations under the Resources section of this website.

Leaders: please make a Gospel Presentation and record your Testimony for OneLoveSkateOutreach.com. You can put in on Youtube yourself and send me the link or just send me the file. Thanks.

Continuing to pray that God brings Revival on Maui and in all of Hawaii (Join me in that prayer please).

One Love (1 John 4:9),
