Ezekiel 37 shares the story of the power of God resurrecting dry bones. Literally bringing dry bones to life. Lauren Daigle and Michael Farren used this inspiration to write a song to encourage believers. The song is ‘Come Alive.’

Today is the start of the fall semester at MVNU and I’m starting my 20th year of teaching communication and media. Today our President, Dr. Carson Castleman, shared a message about the power of the cross and how the life and sacrifice of Jesus encourages the surrender of:
Our worries. The act of surrender allows us to put our trust in Him.
Our control. We can’t manage every aspect of life. Let go of this illusion. Trust His ways!
Our past! Christ is ready to give us a fresh start! Our shared need for forgiveness binds us together.
Psalm 55:22 says,
“Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.”
Today we officially start the new academic year at MVNU with our annual University Dinner and the return of most of our student leaders. Faculty begin meetings tomorrow and classes start in one week. That’s exciting, but also maybe daunting for those of us renewing our school year, again.
So my motivation message to you today comes from Jeremy Camp and the song, “Getting Started.” Sometimes getting something renewed or started again can come with mixed emotions. This song reminds us to put Jesus at the center of each and every day. New life begins and the old is renewed when we do this!

Today’s Monday Motivation song is The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours) by Matt Maher. The reason why I chose this song is because it is literally The Lord’s Prayer in song form. I love the way that Matt constructed the song. He put his own spin on it using The Lord’s Prayer.

Today’s Monday Motivation song comes from for King & Country with their song The Proof of Your Love! This song reminds us that our lives must show the proof of His love! When we are sharing His love with others, we are fulfilling what Jesus commands us to do.
Here is the verses that I picked:
If I sing, but don’t have love I waste my breath with every song I bring an empty voice, a hollow noise If I speak with a silver tongue Convince a crowd, but don’t have love I leave a bitter taste with every word I say.
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 my life be the proof The proof of your love.
Here is the music video to this song:
