Music Mondays

I've said it before - I'm all in on these guys.

Their latest album is coming soon and their latest video is out. I'm not qualified to say, but I will state it anyway - this is a quintessential twenty one pilots song. It mixes genres, has a catchy hook, uses fascinating-bordering-on-strange visuals, and actually makes you think the more you listen.

Music Mondays

You'll have to forgive me for having Revelation on the brain, but we're just wrapping up a sermon series in that book. And as I've been preparing for it, I've come to a greater appreciation for how the book unfolds and what it is communicating. 

We finished the book yesterday, looking at 22:6-21. Even if you take just a cursory glance at that passage, it's hard to miss the fact that three times, Jesus declares "I am coming soon!" And the Church responds at the very end "Amen. Come Lord Jesus."

While there are important specific responsibilities based on this key overriding message, this week's song selection ties directly into the fact that Jesus is coming again soon.

This is a new song from Passion 2015 that I've already heard on the radio multiple times. It captures the essence the conclusion of Revelation, expressing a desire for His return and a commitment to be ready.
