This afternoon and evening, Megan and I had the pleasure of spending time with Paul Wilbur, Greg Shumake, and Don Heist. These three men are part of a music based ministry, Wilbur Ministries, that is located in Jacksonville, Florida. Megan's Aunt Sue orchestrates many of Wilbur Ministries worship functions.
As we were hanging out at Meg's parent's house this afternoon, I admired the passion that Paul Wilbur has with his faith. His message focuses on Messianic Judaism, but many of the foundations and overall beliefs are similar to my belief as a Christ follower. His Biblical knowledge, especially in the area of Biblical prophecy, was entertaining to listen too. I can see why he has been called to lead such a ministry.
The evening ended as we watched an outdoor concert put on by Paul and his worship team. Although his music doesn't fit my own personal taste (his daughter-in-law, Sharon Wilbur, is on my ipod), the message is what counts. The people in attendance were dancing, singing aloud, praising, and fully committing their time to focus on God. It was a nice opportunity to see something different. It expands our knowledge and educates us as Christians. Even though it doesn't necessarily align with what Megan and I are used to, the overall experience was worthwhile.
Just wanted to give a blogosphere shout out to Wilbur Ministries and their passion for spreading the Kingdom of God through music.
