God of this City

I had the privilege of attending 268 generation's (268generation.com) Passion conference in Los Angeles last weekend. I am still in awe of what I experienced and to hear and be a part of what God is doing throughout the world. It is easy to look around us here and see everyone so caught up in themselves and the business of life and to see the hunger and war in the world and wonder "where is God?" The truth is that God is very alive and very active today. I enjoy ready blogs and comments on youtube videos and it is amazing how when anything spiritual pops up an argument ensues and everyone jumps on one of two side. The first is that there is so much hurt in the world that there can't be a God and that Christians are stupid and need a crutch; the other side begins to argue back that God is real and they should just believe. I tend to get frustrated with both sides because I know God is real, but I get more frustrated with people being defensive and bashing on people who don't believe. I wish that people who consider themselves to be followers of Christ would spend less time in chat rooms trying to outwit people into buying into their version of Jesus and begin top live like him. I have never heard of a person who heard a amazing sarcastic reply to their comment online and turned to Jesus. The only way the world is going to know the reality of Jesus is when we stop talking "Christianese" and start living life like Jesus would.
That what was so incredible about this conference, we heard from so many places that God is doing incredible things and people are finding Jesus, I am going to post a song from youtube below, it was written by a band called bluetree, this song was written while the band was actually leading a worship service inside a prostitution house (brothel) in Thailand. The words are powerful and it is true regardless of what you see going on outside and on the TV, God is the God of whatever city we call home, and the sooner we start living like it the better chance we have a seeing people grasping that truth. Here is the song called "God of this city"
