Derek Webb

Last night a bunch of us Boyce Junkies went to see Derek Webb live in concert. His first song? Faith My Eyes. If he sang no other song from that point on, he already had me. But dang...the man is amazing! We hung around afterward and got to converse with him for a bit. He's super cool...kinda short and smallish, and he does this thing where he crosses his legs and talks at the same time, almost as if he's gotta pee but not really, and his head looks somewhat big for the rest of his body; but hey, the dude can sing! Oh, and he loves Jesus...he gets points for that, too :)



One of the things he was telling everyone during the concert itself was that we as Christians tend to measure our spiritual maturity in terms of how much less we sin, not how deeply we're repenting...and that's not a good thing to be doing. That one struck a nerve with me. I had to ask myself, "am I really repenting, every day, every moment, running away from sin and striving toward God's righteousness and grace?" Sin is one of those taboo words we tend to smile at like the ugly duckling child everyone feels sorry for; the problem is, it's not. It's the evil Chucky doll that simply won't die, and is not to be pitied. Off with its head!
