East of Eden

Sunlight filtering throught leave of a knarled tree in the fall

Then Cain went away from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
(Genesis 4:16) ESV

He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.
(Genesis 3:24) ESV

The east of Eden may seem like a vague reference, particularly if we were asking for directions, but it may be the location of an intriguing event which jump started the development of technology.

The Multitude of Merchandise

By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
(Ezekiel 28:16-19) KJV

According to Ezekiel the anointed Cherub had finely crafted garments and played musical instruments. He was stationed on the East of Eden. Remember that.

Praise the Father, Praise the Son

And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
(Revelation 19:16) NKJV

There is some amazing talent here. At 02:18 in the video the music starts.

I’m glad to be a part of a world that has people like this in it. Perhaps it aint so bad after all.

Here in the Love of Christ I Stand

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
(Romans 12:1) NKJV

A truly awe-inspiring singing performance begins at 54:38.

That’s Amy using her whole body, her whole person, to worship the Lord.

I Am Yours

That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.
(Psalms 26:7) NKJV

The opening song. Does this lady remind anyone of Stevie Nicks?

Hallelujah, What a Savior

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
(Romans 8:2) KJV

This is a good message but if you start the video at 1:09:40 you’ll hear one of the best performances of a song that we’ve ever heard. We’ve probably listened to this 50 times.
