Amos and Worship

Friends,

We are excited to be starting the 11 city Everything Must Change Tour next weekend! There is still plenty of time to come be a part in your city (or the closest one to you). We are also very excited to be worshiping with people across the nation and interceding for the world. There are some very challenging calls to worshipers throughout the Bible. Most recently I was reading Amos and in chapter five, after recounting many scenarios that seem to resonate with situations around the world today, Amos speaks the heart of God:

“I can’t stand your religious meetings.
I’m fed up with your conferences and conventions.
I want nothing to do with your religion projects,
your pretentious slogans and goals.
I’m sick of your fund-raising schemes,
your public relations and image making.
I’ve had all I can take of your noisy ego-music.
When was the last time you sang to me?
Do you know what I want?
I want justice—oceans of it.
I want fairness—rivers of it.
That’s what I want. That’s all I want.” -Amos 5:21-24, The Message

Let us repent from “ego-music” in the Church!

I certainly do not claim to have it all right…but we are seeking. The song “Seek Justice” on the project, Songs For a Revolution of Hope, is just that. How do we do this God? Help us do this God! We are happy that others have been encouraged by the song and have incorporated it. Here is a version of “Seek Justice” recorded by Aisea Taimani in Santa Monica, CA. There is more music on his MySpace page.
