I am on such a spiritual high right now that I just had to take the time to put down some thoughts. My band SoulFlight had another concert tonite at a local theater (Elmira Heights Theater) that is owned and operated by a wonderful Christian man, Craig Spencer, whose vision is to maintain a family friendly place of entertainment. His business is mostly in showing family friendly movies but he also opens up his facility to put on free or cheap concerts featuring everything from local ministries, bands, church praise teams, etc all the way up to nationally known CCM major label artists. (For instance, on October 14th Greg Long from Avalon will be singing along with his label mates Across The Sky. *NOTE - I found out after posting this that Across The Sky just broke up.*) Tonight's concert was a benefit concert put on by a local promoter to support Craig's ministry TFS Promotions and help raise funds for some improvements in his theater.
I have to tell you, and I'm sure there are those of you out there who know what I'm talking about and will agree, there is nothing like serving someone else in Christian love. SoulFlight has had the opportunity to play several times at this theater and we are already scheduled to play there two more times this year. To be asked to come play at this event for this man was an honor for us, not only to serve Christ but to serve a fellow servant of Christ who has blessed us. But God has a way of turning our blessing around and blessing those who choose to serve with a pure heart. Not only did people comment that SoulFlight sounded better tonight than we ever have before but the Holy Spirit poured down upon everyone in that place and we shared an awesome time of power praise and rocking worship with those in attendance. I can still hear their voices singing with us as we honored the King of kings and Lord of lords together. It sends shivers down my spine!
If there is anything I can pass on to you as words of advice tonight it would be to serve Christ with all your heart, all your mind, and all your soul. Give it all to Him and choose to serve and minister to others in Christ's name out of His love for people everywhere. Let His love fill your hearts and overflow to those you come in contact with on your journey through life. I can assure you He will honor that and bless you in the process.

thanx for sharing that, Dale. It sounded like an awesome time in worship. . I know what you mean about serving others musically (and other ways too). . when God's spirit leads there's nothing else like it. .
