Friday night
Last night I got to share at my church's youth group on the theology of John Mayer :) Yes, he has perfect theology. He describes the depravity of the human soul without Christ very profoundly and poetically. For those of you who read my entry, "The World Without Christ," my message was based on some of my previous commentary.
I explained that the reason why John Mayer feels so lost is because he doesn't have true life. As it says in 1 John 5:12,
My main point was that John Mayer is still empty because he's not truly living life. He's living the life of the world-friends, money, sex, superstardom-everything it has to offer, but still has something missing because he doesn't have the Son. My charge to the youth group was that you can't really be living life as it should be, meaningfully and abundantly, unless you have Christ inside you. As I quoted in my last John Mayer entry,
I then shared the four spiritual laws with them: (1) God loves them and has a wonderful plan for their lives, (2) Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life, (3) Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life, (4) We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.
I asked them to bow their heads and pray to receive Christ by faith through prayer if they hadn't done that before. I'm not sure if any of them accepted Christ that night, but I could see that they were paying attention and a lot of what I was saying was resonating with them. So praise the Lord for that. I actually got to play "Something's Missing" and "Grey Street" by Dave Matthews. It was a great night and I think they really enjoyed it.
I also got to briefly share my vision and calling with Keynote and they all prayed for me at the end of the night, which was a great blessing. Praise God! Man! I can't believe I'll be doing this for a living soon!!!! CRAZINESS!!! I love this stuff! Thank you all for praying for me! Have a great weekend!

Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thristy forever. The water that I will give him will be come in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. (John 4:13,14)
