Nearing Completion

The Master of Ministry program is, if the Lord wills, going to be competed within the next few weeks. This project, however, is a thing which once begun cannot be completed. The album is nearing a point of release, true. But the ongoing effects of the album and project are not as easily calculated toward a completion.

It is my hope that the album will move into the final stages of post-production over the next two weeks so that I can offer downloads and CDs before Christmas 2009. In the meantime, I am impressed by the interest of others in the songs and message. This interest has prompted me to explore ways to continue producing songs that promote positive values. Some of these songs are more "Christian" than others at first glance, but all share the common core of being produced from a Christian worldview.

Please bear with me as I near completion of the goal of finishing the MMin program and the role of this album project within that program. If you are able and willing, I'd love you to share what is available at reverbnation.com/jeffkreh with others. Every time someone listens the songs move up in the online charts. This improvement in the charts exposes others to the songs, which multiplies the reach of the songs and my Christian influence.

My desire is that God be glorified in all of this. I have fallen prey to the allure of fame in my pre-Christian days. So I recognize both the tactics of the enemy and my susceptibility to this temptation. However, my former self lacked love for God and the power of His Spirit to withstand these challenges. My commitment is to use whatever He places within my care to His glory. This includes my marriage, my relationship with my son, my extended family and church relationships, general talents of life and breath, specific talents of intellect and creativity, social influence and whatever else.

If you can join with me in promoting these talents to His glory, great. If not, that's fine, too. In any event, I hope you have been blessed by these songs and however Christ is working in and through me. Thank you for listening and having my best interest in your heart as I seek to serve the Lord more and more through my entire being.
