  • Day 7 of Be Still - Questions
    By David Timothy Holdsworth - Why are we here?
    Why do the nations rage?
    Why do the wicked prosper?
    Where do wars come from?
    Who am I Lord?
    What must I do to be saved?
    Revival, how long Lord?
    In all our questions you have the answers.
    Help us to keep asking questions.
    Help us to listen.
    Help us to be still and know that you are God.
    Song version also available.

  • Day 6 of Be Still - The Pig Of No Compassion
    By David Timothy Holdsworth - Would we rather love winning?
    Or the pig of a loveless comfort zone?
    Would we rather a man be provided for?
    Or the pig of no compassion?
    Would we rather a man be clothed?
    Or the pig of humiliation?
    Would we rather a man be housed?
    Or the pig of homelessness?
    Would we rather a man be healed?
    Or the pig of demonic legions?
    Would we rather God's kingdom advancing?
    Or the pig of the world, the flesh and the devil?
    We want love, provision, clothing, a home, His kingdom!
    Let's treat others as we would like to be treated.
    Whatsoever we do to the least of these brothers we do unto Jesus.
    Therefore, let's choose compassion, not the pigs.
    (Influenced by the story of The Rich Man and Lazurus).

  • Day 5 of Be Still - Love Wins
    By David Timothy Holdsworth - Love will win in the end, dear friends.
    Love will win.
    There are whispers of a word.
    Amidst the chaos and confusion of a dark and angry world, it echoes through the mist.
    My heart heard this misunderstood little word.
    It heard and was blessed.
    The word love caused my heart to skip a beat and my soul to become merry.
    Could it be that even in mans darkest hours, love still lives?
    Indeed it lives and breaths all things pure.
    But what is the meaning of such a word?
    Could it be the joy of babes playing a merry little din?
    Is it the splendour of a spring morning?
    Or the beauty of a maidens face basked in sunlight?
    Or perhaps its just a word we use in season to gain something in return?
    Maybe its just a word the poets like to write?
    Nay, it is more.
    Surely true love is self-sacrifice.
    Its the laying down of ones life for a friend.
    Even an enemy.
    Its the will to bless those who curse us
    To love our haters
    To forgive our debtors as Jesus forgives his.
    Love is not some superficial myth, but a dream of things better.
    It was love that allowed Gods own Son to give himself into mans angry hands.
    It was love that sent him beyond this realm to prepare a peaceful place for us.
    Our Promised Land, our Paradise.
    Yes, behold, it is love that is the greatest thing!

  • Day 4 of Be Still - Hope in Jesus
    By David Timothy Holdsworth - What happens when I die?
    The voice of angels that do not cry.
    Ladder to heaven.
    Death has won?
    Nay, Life has won.
    Death: where is her sting, where is her victory?
    No shame in dying, no shame in living.
    Crushed to earth, but rising again.
    In Christ alone my hope is found.
    What happens when you die?
    The voice of angels that do not cry?

  • Day 3 of Be Still - Legions of Hope
    By David Timothy Holdsworth - We are the legions of hope.
    We are his hands and feet.
    We are the chosen.
    Gifted by Grace,
    Gifted to serve.
    Called out of darkness,
    Called to the light.
    Voices in the wilderness,
    His voice for the oppressed.
    By His grace alone
    We are the legions of hope.
