We’re taking a look at the new Point of Grace CD (‘How You Live’ which is due out 8/28) song by song. Today we’re looking at the song ‘Fearless Heart’.

Point of Grace - Fearless Heart

For even the most trusting soul
this world can be a scary place.
So much that we can’t control
in every moment that we face.

Then a thousand ‘what ifs’ whisper in our ears,
We remember whose we are
and watch them disappear.

The road before us may seem dark, but we trust in God - who is our strength, our shelter, and our guide.

From God’s Word…

1 John 4:4

Children, you belong to God, and you have defeated these enemies. God’s Spirit is in you and is more powerful than the one that is in the world.

Politics is powered by public opinion. The church is not powered by public opinion - but by the Holy Spirit (Zechariah 4:6). Would the enemy entice the church to get behind a pragmatic solution over a principled one? In the end, what makes a difference - mere externals or God’s Spirit working through men?

The media, desperate to sustain interest in it, is reduced to pursuing such earth-shattering stories as: Which candidate owns the most pets? The answer: John McCain with three turtles, three parakeets, two dogs, and a ferret.
Even Christians, this early, seem frantic over who’s going to be nominated.
