Just a forewarning…this is NOT for the faint of heart. May God break our heart for the things that break His. Please read what my “online friend” Matthew Paul Turner wrote about today. You can find him here.

When I read this post I literally wanted to throw up, cry and sell my stuff all at the same time. I hope it moves you as well. I normally don’t just paste other people’s things here, but this story is worth retelling. Here’s what MPT wrote today:

I went to the gym yesterday afternoon.

I saw Carl (<-changed). Carl is one of my “gym friends,” which means I’m only friends with him because we go to the same gym. Carl’s a sixty-year-old retired business man who plays tennis five days a week. He’s considered one of the “good ole boys” at the gym. But I’m not so sure; to me, Carl seems much to kind and soft-spoken to be a “good ole boy.” Often, Carl and I will chat for a few minutes. Nothing serious.

One of my favorite churches recently used “We Will” as the theme for their Global Impact Celebrations. These guys are really doing it. I’m so humbled to have played a part in the life of their church through this song.

Here’s the graphic they used:

I went down there last Wednesday and played sax for their set for the opening of their celebration. It was amazing to hear a church full of people singing the words of a song that I wrote. It was even crazier to see “We Will” on every piece of print that they handed out. Just insane for me to see that.

I just want to say thanks to their pastor, Michael Fletcher. Thanks for your heart for Him and for seeing the world changed by Him and for allowing this song to become a part of the worship culture at Manna.

Thanks Wayne for introducing it to them!

You can hear Pastor Fletcher’s message to conclude their Global Impact Celebration here:

It’s the Feb. 22nd sermon titled…you guessed it; We Will.

Thanks for rejoicing with me in this moment.
