Our Mission

Psalm 27:3-5 (New International Version
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.
4 One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock.

Our mission at The Lift is simple. To declare the beauty of the Lord! In word, and in deed. I have spoken before that your orthodoxy (what you believe) and your orthopraxy (what you do) must line up. If you say one thing, yet do another, you are blowing smoke and lying to yourself. I desire to live what I preach. Declaring the beauty of the Lord in my attitudes, and actions. May I ask a question of you that I ask myself? Where do you run in the day of trouble? If it is not in to His tabernacle (the presence of God) then how can God keep us safe? And conversly, how can we declare the beauty of the Lord when we do not show that beauty when we are facing difficulties? One thing I know for sure, people watch how you react to stressful situations. Many times I believe God for the big things, yet get all fleshed out in the small stuff! Shame on me!! The Bible says that he who keeps his mind stayed on God (keeping Him mindful and in the center of your thought life) will be in perfect peace. That is truly beautiful. With the economy acting all crazy, and gas lines in Nashville likened to the eighties gas shortages, we need some beauty in our lives. We need peace. My encouragement to you today is to find peace and hope in Jesus Christ. He is the answer for all your problems, and will truly bring peace during life's storms. Jory
