2007 – A Creation interview moment we never get tired of watching.

2008 – A visit with one of the many youth groups that travel to Creation.

JOHN SHIRK – First Corinthians 6:20 refers to the sacrifice of Jesus for our sins with these words-“You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.”

In light of Christ’s offering for us, we are taught to offer the various parts of our body to God as instruments of righteousness. This includes how we use our mind, which includes our thought life. This includes how we use our mouth, the words we use and how we say them. This includes how we use our hands, the ways in which we serve other people. This includes how we use our feet, the places we go, and the pathway we use to get there. This includes how we use our eyes, what we choose to focus on. This includes how we use our ears, the messages that we are tuning in to hear. This includes how we use our heart, our desires, ambitions, and emotions.

The Word of God is an excellent resource to teach us how to honor God with the various parts of our body. Romans 12:1 tells us that “in view of God’s mercy, offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship.”

That’s today’s Mission Statement for representing Jesus in the world today.

June 2008 – Meet Russ, just one of the hard-working people who make the Creation festival happen.

JOHN SHIRK – David said in Psalm 7:17, “I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.”

Worship music flows out of a heart that is in tune with the Lord.  David considered the righteousness of God, and was moved to offer Him thanks.  There are generally two reasons to praise God-for who He is, and what He has done.  Psalm 150, verse 2 says, “Praise Him for His acts of power.”  That fits under the category of what He has done.  “Praise Him for His surpassing greatness.”  That fits under the category of who He is.  Our experience of worshiping God is fuller and richer when we remember both reasons of why God is worthy of our worship. 

Jack Mooring of Leeland talks about the mission behind their music in this way:  “Through our songs we hope people experience God in such a new way they they are inspired to draw closer to Him.”  This is what can happen when we use music as a tool to share our love for God with others.

That’s today’s Mission Statement for representing Jesus in the world today.
