Numero Uno!

So, this is it, a new era for ClubsceneChurch...an era that actually involves things happening as oppose to only 'being in the pipeline' (at least I hope)....

I figured a good place to start is with my vision for CSC (the new hip christian nickname for ClubsceneChurch.com)....

It was originally started as a site that outlined an experience I once had whilst watching Pendulum DJ in Sheffield...an experience that some people would most probably call a 'God moment' - have a butchers at the 'what's it all about' link on the homepage to find out more...

Over the past year or so, my ambition for the site has been clarified in my own head a bit more and CSC's primary focus is to begin to orchestrate a movement across this nation, taking the Good News of Jesus Christ to the British clubscene...

...too ambitious?....it most probably is for me alone...

...it most probably is for me plus the 50 or so members of the CSC Facebook Group (which I would fully encourage joining obviously!)...but this is the exciting part...its not just a human effort!

is it natural to have a pulse in your thumb does anybody know?!

The sermon I had on sunday was prepared around Psalm 127 v 1-2... which says:

"Unless the LORD builds the house,
its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the watchmen stand guard in vain.

2 In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves."


That speaks volumes in regard to the goal we are trying to achieve with CSC. There is no point in me, or anybody else typing my fingers to the bone, or dancing my feet down to stumps if God doen't have dominion over it, God controls who goes on the site, he controls the finances supporting it, it was God's idea in the first place and it will remain in his control...."your will be done on heaven and in earth"


What this verse doesn't say is, "hand it over to God and you won't have to ever put any work into it again"(!) what it is saying is that unless "the LORD builds the house [CSC, general circumstances, whatever]" any work that I/we do will be in vain......


This applies to all areas of our lives, not just to building/temple contractors, but to every single area....


so, i thought I would finish with a thought....might even make a habbit of it!...:

what areas do we let God have control in our lives, and what areas do we think we can tackle ourselves?

bears thinking about....

God Bless
