I know I haven’t written in a while…Very busy growing. 
Just moved too.
Anyways, I was praying with my wife Sarah today, asking the Lord to really speak to us in light of my crazy weekend. Just really need to be filled up. So we asked the Lord to speak to us and was led to a passage of scripture I have never come across.
Two Shepherds
4 This is what the LORD my God says: “Pasture the flock marked for slaughter. 5 Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Praise the LORD, I am rich!’ Their own shepherds do not spare them. 6 For I will no longer have pity on the people of the land,” declares the LORD. “I will hand everyone over to his neighbor and his king. They will oppress the land, and I will not rescue them from their hands.”
7 So I pastured the flock marked for slaughter, particularly the oppressed of the flock. Then I took two staffs and called one Favor and the other Union, and I pastured the flock. 8 In one month I got rid of the three shepherds.
The flock detested me, and I grew weary of them 9 and said, “I will not be your shepherd. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish. Let those who are left eat one another’s flesh.”
10 Then I took my staff called Favor and broke it, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations. 11 It was revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew it was the word of the LORD.
12 I told them, “If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it.” So they paid me thirty pieces of silver.
13 And the LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter”-the handsome price at which they priced me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the LORD to the potter.
14 Then I broke my second staff called Union, breaking the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
I’m mulling this through but I sense that this scripture will play an important role on Saturday @ the Outside The Box worship conference.

As we look at some of the things that break the brotherhood between Praise and The Church.

Ryan what a great scripture. Seems this word play’s out all the time. There is so much division in our praise to the same Lord. How can we come together in unitiy as one church if we can not come together in praise. For me I love all forms of praise and embrace this. I too beleive God is stirring this workshop to bring all of us to higher ground and in unitiy. Blessings Brother.
