Unexplainable 10/06/2009
 
    This semester we in Psalm have been focusing on the theme Unexplainable. When we look at Christian history, we see radical lives that don't make sense. We see people bursting from an upper room and speaking in languages they've never learned. We see a man doing his best to cut off Christianity, only to become one of the greatest instruments of God. We see a man being stoned to death, all the while praising God and begging the people stoning him to simply see Jesus the way he sees Him.
    The American church often blends in so completely with the surrounding culture that it's hard to see anything out of the ordinary in it. It turns into a facility where you can come to get a little bit of Jesus to sprinkle into your life. But Jesus' call was to take up our crosses, lay down our lives, and follow Him.
    We want to be unexplainable. We want our lives to be so counter to the culture that people who know anything about us cannot describe us without God. We want to love sacrificially, treating others as more important than ourselves. We want to glorify God by allowing Him to glorify Himself in us.

    I hope you'll join us as we ask God to make us unexplainable.
