Willing to shout it

It was a great evening last night as I had the opportunity to gather with several hundred young people at a Seven Project event. It excites me to see straight forward messages being given to the generation that we will soon hand the baton to. There is a move among them that is not afraid to take a stand for God with their hands held high and their hearts abandoned. Each generation has had those who are willing to shout it from the housetops, but this generation has lugged their PA systems, sub woofers and microphones to the housetop. They have hooked it all up to their laptop computers. They have connected to each other through facebook and myspace and they have become friends of God. With Ipod and Iphone they stay digitally connected.

It all reminds me of a great chorus we sang many years ago:

God’s Got an Army
Marching through this land
Salvation is their song
There’s healing in their hand

Everlasting joy and gladness in their heart
And in this army I’ve got a part.
