Mercy's Well

Spring into New Life

Kyle — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 16:09:48 +0000

Though it was mild here in North Carolina, Winter is passing through, and Spring is just around the corner. Already, you can see signs of life in God’s creation. The grass is growing, flowers are blooming, leaves will begin to show up on trees and it won’t be long before farmers will be out in their fields planting corn. Spring is a time of re-generation; those things which have died or grown cold feel the warmth of the sun, and begin to grow once again.

What a great picture of how our spiritual lives can be “re-born”. We do not have to wait until Spring, however. Truthfully, there is an element of re-birth that needs to take place every day, but for the one who has simply grown cold in their relationship with the Father, or possibly even “died” – become totally cut off from the Source of Life – what better time than now to start life anew, and become rooted in His Word, which brings life to those who need it most.

“He who abides in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” – John 15:5

2011 in Review

Kyle — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 21:41:11 +0000

It is hard to believe that another year has come and gone so quickly! 2011 was a great year for Mercy’s Well in many ways: We celebrated 10 years of ministry, were privileged to travel and sing in two European countries, experienced Canada (WITHOUT any flight cancellations/delays), and many other exciting moments that we just don’t have room to talk about.

This past year also provided us with the opportunity to reconnect with lots of old friends. On the flip side, we met plenty of new friends, and started relationships that will hopefully last for years to come. Working with other Christians on a consistent basis has its share of challenges…Christians are people, too, and we ALL have our moments! However, at the end of the day, it is so refreshing to partner with other ministries all across this world for the purpose of spreading the good news of Jesus Christ, and what He’s done for us! That’s what it’s all about! And when we are able to witness real, genuine, life transformation – it makes every minute, every mile, worth it.

Thanks to all of you who have partnered with us in ministry this year, and those who listen to/play us on the radio. We truly appreciate all your prayers and encouraging support. We pray you all have a Merry Christmas, and a blessed New Year, and remember – keep Christ at the forefront of everything you do this holiday season!

Guided by the Spirit

Kyle — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:35:07 +0000

On a recent road trip, we encountered two different sets of people who explained to us that God had given them a sense of confirmation about their decisions to have us at their respective churches. When we, as a group, step back and look at our calendar, it is amazing to see how all our dates fit so well together. It is even more amazing to consider the fact that, with so many gospel groups on the road, we are all able to fill an entire calendar year with churches! This environment exists not by random chance, but because God’s Holy Spirit is actively involved in the lives of His children, guiding us as we serve Him! (Romans 8:14)

Are you facing a tough decision today? Maybe you are at a crossroads, and just don’t know which avenue to take. Perhaps you are in a good-standing relatoinship with Christ, and you just want to grow more like Him. Let the Holy Spirit of God guide you as you walk through this life. The apostle Paul describes his experience with the Spirit this way: “And now…bound by the Spirit, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there…” (Acts 20:22). “Bound by the Spirit” – quite an adjective to use there! Could I describe my walk with Christ as being bound by His Spirit?

On My Cross

Kyle — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:35:49 +0000

We’ve just released our latest single, “On My Cross” to radio stations across the country! We were thrilled at the response “Saved” received, as it climbed to #18 on the Singing News Top 80 chart, but we’re hoping that “On My Cross” will do even better! This is a great song directed towards God, expressing our inability to describe how great a sacrifice Christ made for us by paying the penalty for sin: “You took my shame – my blame – on my cross.” Call into your local Christian station and request to hear it today! The song is also avaiable for download on iTunes, Napster, etc. and is a selection from the album POWER.

Privileged to Serve

Kyle — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 16:06:08 +0000

As we look back on the last month or so of our travels, it is humbling to see how God has worked in different situations. Sometimes He works behind-the-scenes, choosing not to reveal His full purpose until a later time. Other times, His hand is so prevalent and miraculous, we have no doubt that we are witnessing the Almighty power of God’s presence in our lives. When we take the time to reflect on these moments of Divine Intervention, the gravity of what has occured hits home: God, who is Holy, Righteous, and Perfect in every way, has chosen to interact with this world…and not only that, but He has chosen to use us – His children – as His servants!

No matter what your occupation may be, or how many degrees you may or may not have, if you are a Child of God, He wants to use you! Remeber what we learn from Scripture. When the Lord was guiding Samuel in the annointing of Israel’s next king, He chose David, saying, “…the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7) God longs to use those who are broken and are willing to be used by Him. With this attitude, all the glory goes to the One who deserves it, and we can look back and see what a privilege it was to be used by Him!

Psalm 51:16-17

¹⁶ You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
¹⁷ My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.

Revelation through Nature

Kyle — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 14:35:21 +0000

During a recent road trip, we were able to witness some of the wonders of God’s creation up close and personal! We all see things like this every day, but how often do we take those images and transform them into thoughts of praise to the Creator? Whatever situation you may find yourself in as you read this, our prayer is that you would be able to take a little time and reflect on the awesomeness of God. If you live near the beach, take notice of the power of the ocean or the serenity of the waves lapping onto the shore. If you live in the mountains, appreciate their majestic presence and beautiful horizon-enhancing ability. If you’re like us and live somewhere in between, you can experience God’s handiwork in a sunrise or sunset across the seemingly endless sky. God reveals Himself to us in many ways: through His Word, through prayer and communion with Him, and also through nature (Romans 1:20). Let this be a challenge to you: As you go about your daily routine, take time to notice Him today…take time to worship Him today.

Psalm 19:1-4

¹ The heavens declare the glory of God;
   the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
² Day after day they pour forth speech;
   night after night they reveal knowledge.
³ They have no speech, they use no words;
   no sound is heard from them.
⁴ Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
   their words to the ends of the world.

Saved!

Kyle — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 18:52:15 +0000

The new single, “Saved”, is getting lots of attention on nationwide radio. We just found out it took a 35-spot leap on the Singing News Top 80 chart. It’s a great toe-tapper that talks about EVERYTHING we “got” when we “got” saved. It’s not great grammar but it’s AMAZING theology! Call your local Christian radio station and request this song. You can also purchase it in our online store as part of the album, POWER, or you can download it through iTunes, napster, amazon, etc.

Alaska Cruise

Kyle — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 18:48:27 +0000

Mercy’s Well is thrilled to announce our first ever cruise to Alaska! For years we have wanted to deviate from the same old Western Caribbean/Mexican cruise that so many people have traveled before. That wish has now become a reality! From July 17-24, 2012, we will sail from Seattle, WA through Tracy Arm Fjord, porting in Skagway, Juneau, Ketchican and even a possible stop in Victoria, BC (weather permitting) before returning to Seattle. During the week, you will experience some amazing music and entertainment from Channing Eleton (formerly of Gold City), Christian comedian/songwriter/singer Chris Binion, the amazing Shady Grove Wesleyan Choir, and of course your host, Mercy’s Well. Time is short to get your deposit in before prices increase. We must hear from you prior to August 26. All reservations MUST be made through our travel agent in order to participate with our group.
