I’m always curious to learn what it sacrificial work of the Servant, but also through the prophet and is about an artist that captures America’s heart. Throughout the Lord himself going out to the people and pleading with them to competition Phillip consistently demonstrated skill as a musician repent and come home. Up until now the conversation has been and originality as a songwriter. His voice, though not the most all about grace. The living God has reached down to his people powerful or pure, was certainly the most unique. He was proud in sheer undeserved mercy to restore them through the work of of being ordinary and firmly resisted the pressure to be remade his Servant. But grace has another dimension. It is not only what in Hollywood’s idolatrous image of glitz and glitter. All of these God freely and lovingly does for us, but it is also what he longs qualities, not to mention his humility, kept him from elimination. to do in us and through us to others.

Repentance has There’s nothing quite like the driving cadence of a distant drum to nothing to do with the emotional discomfort we feel from guilt rouse you out of discouragement or despair and magically revitalize or the shame of our having to endure the natural consequences your courage to dream again. And perhaps no dream resonates within of our wrongs. us as deeply as the longing for “home,” especially when we know our The Hebrew word šûb is a verb of motion, meaning “to return, home is not quite right. For some the longing is amplified because go back, come back.” According to William Holladay its central they can’t go home; others have no home. The ache was felt acutely meaning is “having moved in a particular direction, to move by Israel’s exiles who in 586 B.C. had lost everything they held dear thereupon in the opposite direction, the implication being (unless – their land, their temple, their children, and most tragically their there is evidence to the contrary) that one will arrive again at the relationship with God. As we have seen in recent weeks, chapter 54 of initial point of departure.”2 Repentance means to come home. the book of Isaiah “is a love song by God to Zion, his estranged bride, telling her all the things he is going to do in restoring her.”1 The Repentance is a turning away from one road and returning blessings are beyond what the exiles could have imagined, and were to seek a vital relationship with the living God. Relationship the result of the work of his Servant (Isa 52:13-53:12), who would do is the operative word. To “seek” does not imply “seeking for Israel and the world, what Israel had failed to do. information” as in an oracle (Isa 58:1-2), but as Oswalt observes, “‘seeking’ that is for the presence of God and his Today we come to the grand finale of Isaiah’s book of Comfort ways in one’s life.”3 It requires completely abandoning old (chaps. 40-55), when the prophet takes the stage for one last ways of thinking and behaving, and adopting new ones by song that will hopefully awaken Israel’s faith and ignite her actively seeking God through his word and prayer (“call upon courage to overcome her demons and come “home.” This text him”). As the Psalmist affirms, “The Lord is near to all who is shaped around the term šûb (pronounced “shuv” meaning “to call on him, to all who call on him in truth” (Ps 145:18). You turn, to return”), which occurs three times and gives a classic can’t return to the Lord with an idol in your hand, any more description of what it means to repent. First, we have the call to than an adulterous husband can be restored to his wife, when repent; second, the motivations to repent; third, the necessity of he continues to harbor other women in his heart. repentance; and finally, the promise of repentance. II. The Motivations for Repentance I. The Definition of Repentance (Isa 55:6-7) A. God’s Accessibility Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; Isaiah gives two motivations to stir God’s people to come let the wicked forsake his way, home. The first is that now is the opportune time, for the Lord is and the unrighteous man his thoughts; near and accessible. If the Lord were not near or accessible, there let him return to the Lord, would be no reason to seek his presence. For the exiles the Lord that he may have compassion on him, had not always been near, as Hosea wrote, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isa 55:6-7 esv) With their flocks and herds they shall go to seek the ordL , 1 Isaiah 55:6–13 but they will not find him; There is no way around repentance; it is an absolute necessity. he has withdrawn from them. The reason for this is that humans do not think, assess, or plan They have dealt faithlessly with the LORD; (hašab) the way God does. As the sage writes in Proverbs, for they have borne alien children. (Hos 5:6-7) All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, but the Lord weighs the spirit. (Prov 16:2) and like a young lion to the house of Judah. The gap between man’s attitudes and ways of acting and God’s I, even I, will tear and go away; thoughts and ways is so great, that apart from divine revelation I will carry off, and no one shall rescue. we would never be able to comprehend it. A case in point is how I will return again to my place, Israel esteemed the “highly exalted” Servant of the Lord. Isaiah until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face, says, “they esteemed (hašab) him not” (Isa 53:4). On the other and in their distress earnestly seek me. (Hos 5:14-15) hand, the mighty world powers and their war machines that B. God’s Compassion struck terror in the hearts of Israel, were “regarded (hašab) [by the The second motivation is God’s compassion. The exiles Lord] as dust on the scales…as worthless and less than nothing” were haunted by the question of whether they could ever be (Isa 40:15, 17). In Psalm 103, David uses the same expression to restored to their land and thus, God’s presence, when it was help us comprehend the magnitude of God’s commitment and their “wickedness” and “iniquity” that had driven away them compassion towards us. from the Lord into exile. But a new era is about to dawn and the He does not deal with us according to our sins, “wicked” and “iniquitous” are beckoned to “return.” Instead of nor repay us according to our iniquities. facing the wrath of an angry judge, they will be welcomed by the For as high as the heavens are above the earth, warm embrace of a compassionate Father, who will “abundantly so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; pardon.” as far as the east is from the west, J. Stamm notes that the verb salaḥ (“to pardon, forgive”) is so far does he remove our transgressions from us. (Ps 103:10-12) used only with God as the subject, and therefore denotes “an act God’s instinct to not deal with us according to our sins is so of pardon by God alone.” Its synonymous expressions include utterly foreign to the way we think, let alone act that, to put it “atoning for sin, removing it, wiping it out, washing it away, plainly, is inconceivable to us (“as high as the heavens are above cleansing it, and forgetting it. These marked expressions…speak the earth”). How can someone be that committed?

  • Songwriter Session – Don’T Just Tap Your Foot, Tap Your Creativity
    Plenary: Songwriter Session – Don’t Just Tap Your Foot, Tap Your Creativity Presented By: Gary Burr Musician, Songwriter, Producer Nashville, TN Don Henry Singer, Songwriter Nashville, TN Jim Phtoglo Singer, Songwriter Nashville, TN Victoria Shaw Singer, Songwriter Nashville, TN Presented at: ACLEA 53rd Mid-Year Meeting January 28th – January 31st, 2017 Nashville, Tennessee Gary Burr Musician, Songwriter, Producer Nashville, TN “…But the guitarist always writes the songs…” That’s what they said in Gary’s first band. So, following in the footsteps of his heroes John Lennon and Roger McGuinn, a writer was born. After years of hard work and hard writing, he got his first break in 1982 with Juice Newton’s “Love’s Been a Little Bit Hard on Me.” With a hit under his belt he started writing in earnest, getting cuts from such talents as the Oak Ridge Boys and Conway Twitty. After a brief time on a solo career and album, Gary took over for Vince Gill as the lead‐singer for the band Pure Prairie League. In the late 80’s, feeling that he’d done all he can from Connecticut, Gary decided to move to Nashville, and a better move is hard to make. It didn’t take long for Gary to become one of Country Music’s most sought‐after writers, having hits with Randy Travis, Reba McEntire, Patty Loveless, Garth Brooks, and many more. Burr has been awarded ‘Songwriter of the Year’ on three separate occasions by three different organizations: Billboard, Nashville Songwriter’s Association International, and ASCAP and has written 14 Number One songs.

  • Affordable Housing for Low and Moderate Income Households
    Executive Summary AP‐05 Executive Summary ‐ 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b) 1. Introduction Beginning in fiscal year 1995, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) required local communities and states to prepare a Consolidated Plan in order to receive federal housing and community development funding. A Consolidated Plan is required of any city, county or state that receives federal block grant funding for housing and community development funding, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). Consolidated Plans are required to be prepared every three to five years; updates are required annually. The purpose of the Consolidated Plan is: 1. To identify city, county or state housing and community development (including neighborhood and economic development) needs, priorities, goals and strategies; and 1. To stipulate how funds will be allocated to housing and community development activities. This report is the 2015 Annual Action Plan for the City, the fourth annual update to the 2012 ‐ 2016 Five ‐ Year Consolidated Plan for the City of Nampa. The report details how Nampa proposes to spend CDBG funds in the Consolidated Plan 2015 program year (PY). The Program Year for the City is October 1 through September 30. 2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan. The primary resources used to fulfill the goals of the Five‐Year Strategic Plan and the 2015 Action Plan is HUD block grant funding.
