This is Truth!
Just a second ago, I recieved a text from Nick with good news. Here is a story that makes his text somewhat supernatural-
I've been reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan, (just before Nick's text) I read "Giving that is not motivated by love is worth nothing. Paul says from this kind of giving we 'gain nothing'; however, when we give out of love, WE GAIN MUCH." After I read that, my heart was heavy. I felt convicted to give. So I gave. Just when I realized how much joy I had in giving, He gave (this is when Nick texted me). I gave and He out-gave. This is Truth!
But how often do we take the Gospel literally? I know I struggle with it. For example: "'Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this,' says the LORD of hosts, 'if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows'" (Mal. 3:10). Test Him in this! This is the only place in the Bible where God invites His people to test Him.
Anyway, the point is, His word doesn't lie. Sometimes we read the Bible and think 'this is too good to be true.' Think again!

Hot Topic
We had a good time last night in Carthage, MO at the Powerhouse. And we'll have a good time tonight in Ozark for a house show! We've also been playing one of our new songs from "Atrocities" live. If you're in our area next week, come by our local Hot Topics for a listening party. Details on www.myspace.com/takeitbackar. We'll play "Atrocities" over the PA and it is forcasted to come out Nov. 9th. Nothing has been announced by Facedown just yet, but they will soon!
I came across this bible verse today, "A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult." Proverbs 12:16
It makes so much sense. So I challenge you, next time you find yourself at conflict with someone, stop...and take a deep breath. Pay attention to they way you react. Pay attention to the way your 'someone' reacts. Its very humbling. This is one challenge I struggle with.

The lyrics to the new songs
They're very straight forward. Some people could find them offensive. But we want them to be effective and we all agree that they are. They lyrics explain the confusion every sinner faces and at the same time, connects with the most practical issues every non-believer faces. Here is a preview:
am i going through the motions yet again
or is this how i truely feel inside
or are these words the ones taught to me when i was young
that i digesting without thinking
with the darkness thats all around
it gets so hard to keep believing
they say we're blind
would a god of love
leave a man under a bridge (alone)
or cause a family
to loose a loved one(to a war)
while the corrupt stay home
and profit from death
while praying in pews to bring our boys home
so whats our answer to this question
have we bought in to the greatest lie ever told
i look up into the sky for answers
but come up with only clouds passing
but those clouds that gave me nothing
are what keeps me believing
that voice inside when i look to the sky
that says your not alone
We love you guys very much and appreciate all your support. But most of all, God loves you the most. He wants you bad. We can't wait for this full-length to drop!

Finishing up August
We're just now finishing up vocals on "Atrocities". Nick is giving it his all! We've spent the last two weeks in Minneapolis and loving every minute of it. If you ever come to Minneapolis, you need to go to this pizza place called Mesa Pizza. The addiction we have there is very similar to the addiction we have with In & Out Burger. God is good.
