The Invitation of a Lifetime: Nothing 'Till I Give It To You

Nothing 'Till I Give It To You

Christ, I have learned so much of the ways of this world. I have seen things I wished I’ve never seen, learned secrets I wished I’d never learned. I’ve learned how to lie, how to scheme, how to fake it.

But I’ve also learned how to dream and how to face the truth and what it means to be made real by your love.

All that I’ve learned, everything that I know, well it’s nothing till I give it to you. These words from Air Supply’s “Making Love Out of Nothing at All” is my prayer to you...

I know just how to whisper,
and I know just how to cry.
I know just where to find the answers
and I know just how to lie.
I know just how to fake it,
and I know just how to scheme.
I know just when to face the truth,
and then I know just when to dream...
And I know the roads to riches,
and I know the ways to fame.
I know all the rules
and then I know how to break ‘em,
and I always know the name of the game...

The beating of my heart is a drum, and it’s lost
And it’s looking for a rhythm like You.
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright.
I’ve got to follow it, 'cause everything I know,
Well it’s nothing till I give it to You...

Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton - As a journalist, Chesterton found "orthodoxy" to be a very acute word, and the exact description of what keeps us sane, when everyone around him thought it to be bad. “When ever we feel there is something odd in Christian theology, we shall generally find that there is something odd in the truth.”
Confessions by St. Augustine - Augustine was an intensely passionate man after God, but he came to Christ through tumultuous waters. Here he tells his story.
The Wisdom of Each Other by Eugene Peterson. - Most well-known for authoring the paraphrase of the Bible The Message, here Peterson explains how friendship is a vital way that God answers our need for affirmation, correction, encouragement, and guidance. We need more understanding of how conversations between friends is the meeting place of heaven and earth (Matthew 18:20).
The River Within: Loving God, Living Passionately by Jeff Imbach - This is an incredibly helpful book on living within the river of God's life within.
Dangerous Wonder by Mike Yaconelli - The late self-proclaimed lay-pastor Mike Yaconelli tells his journey of recapturing the joy of being a child in his relationship with God. This book helped to ignite in me an innocent hunger for the thrill of knowing God.

Soul Salsa by Leonard Sweet - This is Leonard's proclaimation on spiritual living in the postmodern world.

Telling the Truth: The Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy and Fairy Tale by Frederick Buechner - This brief but powerful book shows us how we are to hear the Gospel, if we are to hear it at all.

An Arrow Pointing to Heaven by James Bryan Smith - The biography of one of my mentors, Rich Mullins.
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis - His allegory stories to Kingdom life, these books are very helpful for every aspect of our lifes with God. Really, find and read anything by Lewis.

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez - a metaphor for our life together as a Body.
The Sacred Romance by John Eldredge & Brent Curtis - Such a helpful book on understanding the Story of the Gospel and beginning to take our place in it with the Creator and Pursuer.

What's So Amazing About Grace? by Philip Yancey - Yancey's stories in here are deeply compelling and serve as kind of parables to understand the heart of Christ.
