Over Coming the "Quitter's Mentality"

" Peter was so disappointed he decided to return to fishing - not men, but fishes - abandoning God's big dreams for his own small dreams.  " This time the Lord has brought me to one of my former youth. She has been blessed by the Lord to further her studies in Singapore on a scholarship. To see her grow spiritually from the girl that she used to be is a blessing. I can't imagine how proud her Sunday school teachers and her parents will be. It's a long road ahead for her. But I pray that she will be strengthen and rooted in Him. I'm sure that He has great plans for her. I pray that she will continue to walk close with the Lord. And no matter what comes along, storms or wave or even drought, I pray that she will hang on to Him as He will always hold her in her arms. Praise the Lord that she managed to find a church for her to settle down and begin to serve. May she be surrounded by brothers and sisters in Christ, and that she may be a blessing to them too.

Of Squares, Preps, Skater Punks, Goths, Techno-Ravers and the Tattooed Kids with Colored Hair

" Tears rolled down ... as I continue[d] to read on how the Lord have shown Himself to the group which people in general will call the 'difficult' types, the 'squares, preps, and skater punks, Goths and techno-ravers and the tattooed kids with colored hair' youth ...  " I caught this song 'Gift of Cool' by 'Rock ‘n’ Roll Worship Circus' song today on K-Life , and was attracted by they blend of fresh music. I went over to google for the song, just like wat i always do to look for the song that I never heard of. K-Live was playing the song but I did not catch the song title. Then I googled part of the lyrics that I could make out [lyrics "we will run and never stop" "taking everything we are" "praising him forever"] and was lead to this article. Tears rolled down my cheek as I continue to read on how the Lord have shown Himself to the group which people in general will call the 'difficult' types, the "sq...

Jesus Died and Rose on the 3rd day

" Not much has been said on what happened in between His death on the cross and His raising for death on the third day. We need to be reminded what happened in between.  " I have been reading an article this week and it kind of open up my mind and to even feel the magnitude of what our Lord of done for us. We often talked about what the Lord have done one the cross, from the movie The Passion, we are shown how much he suffered physically when he was whipped, nailed, spit, pierced, mocked. How he endured the pain? We were moved, some broke down watching this vivid images on how the Lord suffered. We talked about how the Lord took all our sins on His shoulder on the cross how He redeemed all our sins. How he died and rose again on the third day. Victoriously?? Not much has been said on what happened in between His death on the cross and His raising for death on the third day. We need to be reminded what happened in between. When the Lord cry out, "My God, my God, why have ...

Set Yourself Aflame!

"  Want to get noticed?  Set yourself on fire!  " Some one once asked a pastor who is a great communicator, the secret to communicate, sharing the gospel effectively and turning people attention to Christ. The pastor simply answered, "First, you need to douse yourself in kerosene and then set yourself on fire. That will surely get the attention from people that you seek." To get others to listen to us about what we are going to share about Christ, we first need to set ourselves on fire for Christ. If we are burning for Him, people will notice the change in us, He likeness on us, the joy, the peace and all the fruits. The hotter the fire the faster it spreads. Therefore, seek to be on fire for Him, and sharing will just come naturally. Torch yourself in God's flame, be the light to the world! first posted at http://mywalkwithchrist.blogdrive.com/

" What being a Christian means to you?

What is CHRISTianity?

" A WHOLE NEW PLANET. THAT MAKES A WHOLE NEW YOU. Take 2 seconds to forget the stereotypes, hype, and double talk. This page could be the most important thing you ever read. &nbsp" fm103.2 Jesus is: The Son of God Jesus is the only Son of the one true and everlasting God. Jesus lived, walked, and talked with His own creation (you and me - humanity). Because He was also a man, He understands our hurts, our grief, our pain, and our loneliness. "While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!" Matthew 17:5 Our Salvation God loves humanity so much that He sent Jesus with a plan. That plan was fulfilled as Jesus suffered and died at the hands of his own creation in order that we might be forgiven for the sins we (His creation) commit against God in our words, thoughts, and actions. Jesus also died that we might come to recogni...

The Friendship Factor

" First impressions are vitally important. Within 11 minutes of entering a building, people generally decide if they will ever come back again. That means we have 11 minutes to sweep them off their feet! &nbsp" www.battlecry.com Following is an article published on www.battlecry.com which stresses the importance of first impression in today's youth ministry. Today, people make that assessment the minute they stepped into the church ground even before entering the doors. In my own personal experience, when I am church visiting on my travels, the most important thing to me is how friendly a church is. How quick the church members notice you and how they welcome the visitors. These receptions varies from the extreme end of you-seems-to-be-a-shadow-that-no-one-noticed to overwhelming you-are-greeted-by-everyone-and-announced-to-the-whole-church responses, but nothing like a friendly smile and a genuine greeting of "Hi, welcome to our church", being shown to y...
