Wow, what a first night! My mind has been blown. Worshipping and learning with 25,000 college-age people is amazing.
Chris Tomlin was the main worship leader at tonight's main session, and he was spectacular. The first two songs were some of his better known, as he played "Our God" and "Chosen Generation" back to back. "Our God" was a bit special, though, as Christian rapper Lecrae made a surprise cameo in the song, rapping and adding hip-hop flair to the emotional lyrics of Tomlin's original. "Chosen Generation," however, is my favorite. Here's some lyrics to ponder:
We are a chosen generation.
Rise up holy nation.
God, we live for you.
You have called us out of darkness
Into light so glorious.
God, we live for you.
I just wish that this generation, the I belong to, the one here at Passion, would realize that they could be that very generation. Please pray that happens.
Louie Giglio was tonight's speaker, and he was fantastic. He taught from the first chapter of the book of Philippians, teaching how Paul used his situation (he was in jail, shackled to another prisoner) to further God's kingdom. He challenged us to put away all the distractions and obstacles and other "stuff that doesn't matter." This is so true. So little in this world matters; why dwell on it?
Let's pray that every student here in Atlanta takes this to heart and goes home to make an impact. I'll talk to you soon!
