A subject close to my heart, Dr. Taylor Marshall just released a series of videos in which he asks “Is there a theology of pilgrimage?”

There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect.
– G.K. Chesterton

This past weekend I was serving at the Stubenville San Diego youth and young adult conference. As a result of this, I’ve heard a lot of Matt Maher songs over the past few days…
Thank you for the cross
Thank you for your love
The perfect sacrifice of praise to God above
Thank you for the gift
Thank you for the price
Of losing everything to gain eternal life
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Thank you for your joy
Thank you for the pain
Of longing for peace
In my suffering
Thank for my hunger
For my poverty
That I would fall into the arms of mercy
Every road leads back to you
Every journey lies in you
So lead me home, my lover, Savior
Lead me home, my Master, Redeemer
Lead me home and I will rest in you
I praise you when I’m broken
I praise you when I’m lost
That it would keep me honest
In need of you alone
I praise you for the past
For the mess of sin
That I would never want to turn from you again
