I read an article by the writers from Stuff Christians Like in the newest edition of Relevant Magazine and saw this little excerpt… I thought it was great.
It’s a satire, just in case anyone gets confused.
You know what I don’t like about fundamentalist Christians? They’re so judgmental. I really don’t like when people do that. Don’t they know we’re supposed to be about love and not judgment? Jesus called us to love Him with all our heart and all our mind and all our soul. And to love others! Don’t they get that? It’s about love!
I’m just so sick of their negative attitudes.
They hate dancing, too. Did you know that? I’m not making that up or perpetuating a stereotype. They all hate dancing. They even made a documentary about it one time starring John Lithgow and Hollywood’s Kevin Bacon. Gripping stuff really, but I doubt any fundamentalists saw it because they hate popular culture. Ugh, I can barely stand how judgmental they are.
You know they don’t drink alcohol, right? Oh no, don’t ever offer them a glass of wine or a pint of beer. They’ll throw that right back in your face. That’s kind of a litmus test I use to determine whether you’re a fundamentalist or not. If I suggest we have a glass of red wine and you refuse, then I know. I know exactly what you’re all about and I can read the depths of your spiritual walk by that simple refusal. You’re a fundamentalist and you’re judgmental.
Sure, I don’t know many fundamentalists personally, because I can’t stand being around people who are judgmental, but I caught a few seconds of a church service on television once. I think it was a church in Texas. Most fundamentalists either live in Texas or are planning to move to Texas at some point in their lives. But even though I haven’t been to a fundamentalist church in, I don’t know, ever, you don’t need to go to one to know what they’re all about. Fire, brimstone and, above all, being judgmental.
Don’t you just hate how judgmental fundamentalists are?
I wish they were more open-minded.

There’s a lot going on.
And I’m not just talking about my personal life. I mean, in general.
Look around.
School, work, sports, papers, children, deadlines, entertainment, appointments…
It’s hectic.
And if we’re not careful, we may miss out on the only thing that really matters.
It doesn’t earn us a degree.
It doesn’t earn us a paycheck.
It might not provide us the entertainment that we’ve become accustomed to.
But it saves our lives…
A divine romance with the God of this universe.
Let Him completely satisfy you today.
Divine Romance – Phil Wickham
The fullness of Your grace is here with me.
The richness of Your beauty’s all I see.
The brightness of Your glory has arrived.
In Your presence God, I’m completely satisfied.
For You, I sing I dance.
Rejoice in this divine romance.
Lift my heart and my hands
To show my love, to show my love.
A deep deep flood, an Ocean flows from You
Of deep deep love, yeah it’s filling up the room.
Your innocent blood, has washed my guilty life
In Your presence God I’m completely satisfied.

The time has finally come! My “New Day” EP is now available for digital download on iTunes and Amazon. You can still order a hard copy off this website, under the store tab, and it will be shipped to you! Thanks to those who pre-ordered the album. You will be getting your signed copy in the mail, early next week! I am so excited for all of you to hear the music. I hope that I was able to share a little part of me with you. These songs were written during times of difficulty and times of joy. More importantly, my relationship with my Savior and the Creator of this universe… is always the center of every message, in every song I write and sing. I’m just a pen in His hands. I pray that comes across in the music and lyrics. God bless you all!
Thanks to Michael Spooner @ Red Couch Productions for Engineering/Producing this album.

We took the students to Panama City Beach, FL for the weekend. It was a wonderful time of spiritual growth and encouragement. I especially enjoyed the prayer time on the beach Saturday morning. Creation points us toward our Creator. So beautiful and serene.
