Chris Tomlin - Come Home Running

Oh heart of mine, why must you stray?
From one so fair you run away
And one more time you have to pay
The heaviness of needless shame

Oh heart of mine, come back home
You've been too long out on your own
And He's been there all along
Watching for you down the road

So come home running
His arms are open wide
His name is Jesus
He understands
He is the answer
You are looking for
So come home running
Just as you are

Oh child of God so dearly loved
And ransomed by the Savior's blood
And called by name, "daughter" and "son"
Wrapped in the robe of righteousness

guess i've been thinking a lot about home recently as my last post suggests... and it just clicked that home, rhill is not my eternal home... and in term so my feeling "blah" i suppose i jsut gotta look in the rite places... this week has been better tho... =P i do truly wanna make it my goal to run after Him every day... i think that whenever i start to feel blah is when i am not running after him daily... it's so hard to overcome sometimes... it seems like there are always goin to be those days where i dunno...haha... i'm jsut not feeling it... i suppose that is an emotional thing tho...

which reminds me back to the conversation me, alexis, and chris had yesterday at a DL meeting about just the generation gap now that exists even within ccf and it's effects on our fellowship and how it is run... postmodernist vs. modernist... are we all becoming purely feelers and slowly sliding away from the thinkers... is our faith bound to our emotional highs and lows now... how much of our faith is an experiential thing? how will the people who are really hardcore with the Bible studies and theology unite with the experiential crowd? how does our fellowship fit into the picture? Should we now cater to these new upcoming "experiential" needs of the fellowship? the word seems to be balance... but how do we actually incorporate balance? i dunnos :)

also... another question that came up in conversation today... is it possible to say that you are too involved in "other ministries" (ie. reaching out to non-christian peers/classmates, family) to serve in some sort of capacity at fellowship? Are the two really in separate classes so to speak that we ought not to combine them but rather allot time for both? hmm... guess the only way u can know is to seek God's wisdom and will on a daily basis..

i think using our feelings as a basis for our faith can be kind of dangerous...if our faith waivers as our life waivers then there is no stability. our faith in Christ should be the most stable thing there is...our faith should be the cornerstone of our lives. of course, the operative word is "should"...because i know that it is something that is really hard to do, but still something that we should all be working towards. i guess we should all be trying to help each other move away from the fickle "experimental" faith to something more stable...just my two cents.
