Good afternoon! So today on the Drive, we started a four-week series on ‘The Fingerprints of God’. We’re going to talk about what they are and where we find them.
Today we talked about how WE as humans are the fingerprints of God.
Our main focus was taken from Steven Curtis Chapman’s song ‘Fingerprints of God’. That focus being that you are a fingerprint of God. You are made in His image, and you are a priceless, irreplaceable child of God. Check out the song here!
In Genesis, it talks about how we are made in God’s image!
Genesis 1:26 – 27 says:
26 “Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.”
3 “When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?
5 You have made them a little lower than the angels
and crowned them with glory and honor.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their[e] feet:
7 all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild,
8 the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.”

Our Word of the Day is Multitudinous, an adjective which means forming a multitude or great number; existing, occurring, or present in great numbers; very numerous.
Have you ever thought about your ultimate vision? In other words – what’s the point of all of this? What’s the destination? Where do I want to be when it’s all said and done?
This summer, by random chance, I heard an early 1980’s sermon from R.C. Sproul where he asked that very question to his audience. He talked about what some call the ‘beatific vision’ – a vision inspired by the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. He offered a compelling vision of getting to heaven; of seeing Jesus face-to-face. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”
For me, that is an energizing vision. It’s motivating. Seriously, when we put all of the distractions aside, isn’t that the goal? To see Jesus face-to-face? And encourage as many others as we can to do the same thing?
When we think about that moment, can we even remotely imagine what it will be like? 1st Corinthians 2:9 tells us that heaven has things “which the eye has not seen, the ear has not heard and have not entered the heart of man.” That’s a fantastic and mysterious promise all rolled into one!
Congratulations to Deva of Fredericktown who won our Winter Jam Artist Trivia. She correctly answered that David Crowder attended Baylor University.
Our Word of the Day is whimsical, an adjective that means unusual in a playful or amusing way.

Today we shared facts about the Presidential Inauguration, which gets started tomorrow and continues through Saturday. The actual swearing-in ceremony for President-Elect Donald Trump and Vice-President-Elect Mike Pence begins around 11:30 on Friday.
This will be the 58th Presidential Inauguration. Since 1937, the ceremony has always been on January 20th unless that date falls on a Sunday. In that case, it happens on the 21st.
The swearing-in ceremony has been held at the West Front of the U.S. Capitol Building since 1981. With one exception…in 1985, President Ronald Reagan’s 2nd swearing-in was indoors at the Capitol Rotunda because it was only 7 degrees outside!
On January 20, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson made history when his wife, Lady Bird, held the Bible for his swearing-in ceremony. He also concluded his address with 2 Chronicles 1:10: “Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?”
President-Elect Trump will take the oath of office placing his hands on the Bible that Abraham Lincoln used at his inauguration, along with a Bible his mother gave him when he graduated Sunday School in 1955 at First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, NY.
The weekend finishes with a National Prayer Service Saturday at the Washington National Cathedral.
Congratulations to Olivia from Mount Vernon who won our Winter Jam trivia – how many #1 singles has Newsong had? The answer was 17. She wins two passes to Winter Jam 2017.
Our Word of the Day is katzenjammer, a noun derived from a German word that can mean distress, anguish, an uproar, or a hangover. The literal meaning is ‘wailing of cats.’
