Coffee Macs Music More...


In Dallas it seems there is resurgence of a music scene, but its taking place in the uprising of mom and pop coffee shops. As I sit in a coffee shop in Frisco, listening to a local musician, it dawns on me, that this is simply another part of this new generation called the "emerging", or "post-modern" generation, young people today want to listen to their favorite artists unplugged and in intimate settings while sipping on their favorite cup of brewed deliciousness. Perhaps this is also a great new way for God to spread His message of grace and mercy to a generation that seems to be in desperate need of exactly that. As our country becomes increasingly, and almost exponentially less and less "Christian", this seems to be an amazing avenue for His chosen people to spread the most amazing story ever told, whether through music, through spoken word, or through simple conversations, it is clear that God has something amazing in store!!!

introduction

hello world,

Let me introduce myself, in case you and I are strangers...my name is Rob.  I am a worship leader, and I am incredibly passionate about the pursuit of God.  My desire is to long for Him and His role in my life more and more and more, till the point that it flows out of my life and on to all those who might come in contact with me.  I love to pursue God through music, writing it, playing it, listening to it, or however (is it possible to eat, sleep, and drink it yet?) I love studying and reading books that make me think about theology and life, and push me deeper into my understanding of my Creator, and the reason for my creation. Currently I am enjoying reading books on the emerging church, and what it looks like, and how it all works.  I love churches that passionately teach the Word, and that arent interested in glitz and glamour to entice the world in, but teaches the Gospel in a way that equips and enables the people to go into the world and be ministers to the people in their lives...currently I find myself listening to a lot of John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Coldplay, Switchfoot, Phil Wickham, and many others, but right now those guys rock!!! So, now you know a little about me, and hopefully you will find out more soon...

good night world...

Rob
