“Behold, I am Doing a New Thing”

“Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.”

Isaiah 43.18-19 (ESV)

Everyone at some time in life needs to take a break, refresh, and restart. I decided to do this after 35 years of full-time vocational ministry, most of it through music. It’s been five years now since I retired from full-time ministry, except that for the past year I have been serving part-time in a local church as their minister of music. 

This site, blog, or social media venture is the result of off and on again experimentation. During the past five years I have attempted to write devotional blogs, begin a podcast, and try out other media ventures, only failed to sustain the commitment, energy, and creative upkeep to keep them going.

What makes this attempt different? Purpose. Without purpose there is no impetus for your passion. So then, what is my purpose and passion? My purpose is to glorify God through music. My passion is to glorify God through music by writing Psalm, hymns, and spiritual songs. This is simply what this site is about. To provide the church with music that brings glory to God while at the same time edifying the body of Christ.

It is my prayer then, that this blog will serve as a source of encouragement to those who worship the Lord. Just as Isaiah wrote above…

“…now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.”

Isaiah 43.19 (ESV)

Therefore, may this blog site become a place for you where the springs burst forth and flow like rivers in the desert wilderness. – Selah!
