Over the course of your life you’ll speak, read, and hear possibly millions of words. The words flowing from the mouths and minds of men and women will last for a time and then fade further away with each passing generation. But the Word of God is alive. And when you speak it, read it, hear it, or write it through faith in the One who gave it to you, it’s like having rivers of living water flowing out of your heart.

I used to think as long as I was writing “positive” songs and singing with joy, people would see it and wonder what kept me upbeat and happy. And maybe once upon a time that might have worked a bit. But in this day and age, when people all over the world are getting more and more violent and bolder in their selfish sins, I think Christians need to take things up a notch…or 10.

So…my happy-go-lucky persona can still be there, but I feel an urgent need to express the seriousness of the situation in this world, too. In many Christian circles and ministries you may notice more talk about the “soon return” of Jesus. Many of the signs Jesus talked about have occurred and are occurring now. And He said when these signs come, “see that you are not troubled for all these things must come to pass“.

You’ve probably heard of the “Second Coming”. That’s when Jesus comes back to rule and reign over the Earth. The “signs” point to this. But before that is a day when Jesus comes to take his church into the air. Christians call this the Rapture. If I’m still on the planet when that happens, I want to be caught up in the air with Him…in the twinkling of an eye. Don’t you?

Here’s a song I wrote about “living water” and the “bread of life”. It’s called “The Master’s Knife”. Enjoy it and may God richly bless you.
