Philippians 3:7-9- I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ.
So, my job is to consider the things I think are valuable, or worthy, as worthless? But how?

I have recently wondered if God knew how things would end before they even began, why would he create us? Why would he go ahead and create a people of which some would turn their back on Him? Why would he want to go through something like that? As I continued to ponder this all I could think was how heart-breaking it must be to see something so amazing that you created be partially destroyed. And that is where I got my answer…. the heart.

Relient K: Personally my favorite band. They formed in 1998, so they’ve been around for a while. They have sold over 2 million records, with three albums going gold. One word to describe Relient K would be amazing. A few words would be flip boom-bastic double fantastic and awesome. They have hilarious, witty, and sarcastic lyrics that make you laugh but also have serious, sobering lyrics that make you think.
