NEW TUNES AT 9 ROUNDUP: DARA MACLEAN
phil : November 1, 2012 8:28 pm : music, Radio Friend Phil, Staff PagesRADIO FRIEND PHIL – Greetings! It’s time for this week’s New Tunes at 9 Roundup: New Tunes at 9, one-hour of new and emerging music, weeknights at 9 p.m. on WJTL. New projects available now: “Lights of Distant Cities” by Bebo Norman and “Finding Our Way” from Hyland. Available next Tuesday: “For The Glory,” from the O.C. Supertones. Another disc I highly recommended is “You Got My Attention,” by Dara Maclean. Dara Maclean is a singer/songwriter/guitarist from Ft. Worth Texas who, in recent years, has been drawing comparisons to Crystal Lewis, and for good reason. Dara began singing at age eight, led worship services at her church in her teens, and began writing songs and playing guitar at age 13. For more on Dara Maclean. go to http://www.daramaclean.com/ You’ll find the iTunes music store, facebook and twitter, Dara’s video journal and more. Dara Maclean is currently on tour with For King and Country and Jason Castro. All three artists stopped by the Junction Center recently to play live before a captive radio audience. To see select videos from their performances (along with other recent guests, including Kutless and Charlie Peacock), go to wjtl.com and click on the videos tab.

JOHN SHIRK – From Colossians 3:17.
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
The Christian faith is meant to be full-time, not compartmentalized. So, when we are in Christ, that is our identity, and wherever we go, that is an opportunity for His influence to shine through us.
This passage points out the importance of our words when representing Jesus. Will we speak the truth in love? Will our conversation encourage people to love the Lord with a fully devoted heart? Will we praise God with the words we say?
This passage also emphasizes the use of our deeds to honor God, which includes being available to serve God with our gifts and abilities, whether through teaching, music, hospitality, or generous giving. These are just a few ways that the love of God compels us to serve others so that they might be drawn to Jesus Christ.
Serving God with a grateful heart is a vital sign of a changed life in the Year of Transformation.

FRED MCNAUGHTON – Christ in Action is going to Southern NJ to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy. Our friend (and former Damascus Drummer – Daryl Stoltzfus) is the PA Coordinator for Christ in Action. They will begin receiving volunteers as soon as Friday (Nov2). Daryl will be taking a team down Saturday night and you could possibly travel with his team. If you are available and want to help our neighbors in NJ who have been devastated by this storm, please go the Christ in Action website and fill out a volunteer form now. If you want to go with Daryl Saturday please email him – Daryl at Christ in Action dot com and of course make that look like a regular email address. Listen to Daryl’s interview at our WJTL Casts page.
3 things you can do for Christ in Action:
1) Volunteer to go to Southern NJ
2) Make a donation at the website to help underwrite their service there.
3) Pray for the Christ in Action team as they serve those in Southern NJ who have lost everything.
JOHN SHIRK – from Exodus 29, verses 44 and 45.
The LORD said, “So I will consecrate the Tent of Meeting and the altar and will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God.”
To be consecrated is to be set apart by the LORD for a special service. In this case, the process of consecration involved sacrifices of a bull and two rams, and the shedding of their blood.
This has relevance for us, not in the sense that we need to sacrifice animals in order to serve God, but that we are consecrated to the LORD through the cross. That is where Jesus died for our sins. His blood has the power to purify us and prepare us for service.
Second Corinthians 5:15 tells us that Jesus died for all, “that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for him who died for them and was raised again.” By God’s grace, we are set apart for a particular purpose to bring glory to His name in our acts of service.
Consecration is a vital sign of a changed life in the Year of Transformation.

JOHN SHIRK – From Second Corinthians 3:16.
“Whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.”
A veil is a piece of material that covers the face. In this context, it represents a barrier that keeps a person from seeing the Gospel. Verse 14 tells us that only in Christ is the veil taken away. Only in Christ do we have the permission to approach God’s throne of grace.
The lifting of the veil means that we have fresh new eyes for understanding the Bible. The Apostle Paul explained that whenever Moses was read, a veil covered the hearts of those who had not turned to Jesus for salvation. For the person who DID turn to the Lord, that was a different story. In the Old or New Testaments, we see the influence of Jesus. We learn how He fulfills the law and the prophets. We also come to understand how He fulfills our lives with God’s spiritual blessings. Some of these benefits are found in this chapter, Second Corinthians Three, such as righteousness, freedom, and transformation into the likeness of Jesus Christ.
Turning to Jesus as Lord and Savior is a vital sign of a changed life in the Year of Transformation.
