Best Sermon!

Bono's Best Sermon Yet
Global rockstar, Soulful poet, Political activist... U2's dynamic frontman has worn many hats in his public life.
Now add "Prophetic Preacher" to that list.
At the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington last week (2/2/06), Bono delivered a riveting speech about the Bible's call for charity and justice on behalf of "the least of these" in the global community. His speech was remarkably explicit about the role Scripture, faith, and God play in his own life-- and a challenge to other Christ followers to move into action.
It was Bono's best sermon yet.
Marked by prophetic zeal, humility and humor, Bono began his remarks this way: "If you're wondering what I'm doing here, at a prayer breakfast, well, so am I. I'm certainly not here as a man of the cloth, unless that cloth is leather..."

a.new.sky.


The good Lord ushers in a new sky, which reveals a new season. It's the season of warmer weather and growth. The winter season seems to be a time of rest or death, while the spring season seems to be a time for growth and development. What is the Lord doing throughout this new season? Why is He putting us through this new season? What is He developing within us? Can we go from a winter rest to a spring growth? What does that look like? Although you may think that the Lord is doing things that are against what you might think is good for you, remember, God is beyond good, God is beyond love, God is beyond grace. Yes, He is these things, but He is greater and much more than these simple qualities. So may you be encouraged that the Lord is doing wonderful things during this season of your life. Be of good cheer as you hold tight to Christ.
