The Diligent Amateur

Let me start by saying that I know it has been a while since posting anything new here at GodandMath. Such is life on the cusp of a new school year. I don’t have anything new to say in this post except to point you to an excellent sermon given by former fellow DTS classmate Joey Woestman. If you have viewed the video on the “How if Math Done Christianly?” Page then you have viewed some of the fruit of Joey’s labor whilst in seminary. He is now the youth pastor of Faith Church in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Recently they let him speak to the grown-ups about developing a proper theology of work. While I believe this sermon is good for anyone to hear I am posting it primarily for the impact I hope it might have on teachers preparing to begin a new school year. Teaching is a demanding profession that will regularly bring you to question your calling and the value God places on it. If that is where you find yourself now then my hope is that you would be refreshed by this preaching of the Word.

Not to mention GodandMath.com gets a shout out in the end.

Christ is Risen

Christ is Risen

Lyrics by Matt Maher

Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
We fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely you bled, for us

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave!

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave!

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bow to none but heavens will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer’s crown
No burden great can hold you down
In strength you reign
Forever let your church proclaim

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave

Oh death! Where is your sting?
Oh hell! Where is your victory?
Oh Church! Come stand in the light!
The glory of God has defeated the night!

Oh death! Where is your sting?
Oh hell! Where is your victory?
Oh Church! Come stand in the light!
Our God is not dead, he’s alive! he’s alive!

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave

Rise up from the grave…
