FADING WEST

For the past year, we've been working on a movie. It's a project that that we've been dreaming about for a long time - a documentary on Switchfoot: music, surfing, and the journey of the past eight records together. We're calling it "Fading West". Here's a sneak peak teaser clip. 

Stay tuned, we'll be posting trailers, behind the scenes footage, and more as we lead up the release of the film.

About time. :]

Sunshine, won't you be my mother Sunshine, come and help me sing My heart is darker than these oceans My heart is frozen underneath Oh Lord, why did you forsake me? Oh Lord, don't be far away away Storm clouds gathering beside me Please Lord, don't look the other way We are crooked souls trying to stay up straight Dry eyes in the pouring rain The shadow proves the sunshine Two scared little runaways Hold fast to the break of day light where The shadow proves the sunshine Shine on me, Let my shadows prove the sunshine

Before we can begin to see the cross as something done for us (leading us to faith and worship), we have to see it as something done by us (leading to repentance). Indeed only the man or woman who is prepared to own his share in the guilt of the cross may claim his share in its grace.

The Proof of Your Love

"If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God's word with power, revealing all of His mysteries and making everything as plain as day, and if I have faith to say to a mountain jump and it jumps but I don't love I'm nothing. If I give all I earn to the poor or even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, no matter what I believe, no matter what I do, I'm bankrupt without love."

- for KING & COUNTRY — The Proof of Your Love

Logic can change the mind. But love is what changes the heart.

Logic can lead the mind to the truth. But love is what leads our hearts to accept the truth.

I am convinced that logic alone cannot lead anyone to Christ. 

No matter what rational justifiable proof I can share with you for Christ,

I am bankrupt without love. 

I am bankrupt without love.

So let my life be the proof. The proof of Your love.

Let my love look like You and what You're made of.

How you lived. How you died. Love is sacrifice.

So let this life be the proof. The proof of Your love.

1 Corinthians 13.

“Will the others see you too?" asked Lucy. "Certainly not at first," said Aslan. "Later on, it depends." "But they won’t believe me!" said Lucy. "It doesn’t matter.”  ― C.S. Lewis

“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”

Here is an honest and well-balanced critique. Read it.

Already There

When I'm lost in the mystery

To You my future is a memory

'Cause You're already there

To ask that God's love should be content with us as we are is to ask that God should cease to be God: ...
