My Saviour My God – Aaron Shust

On December 8, 2009

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. (Philippians 2:5-8)

It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man.(Psalms 118:8)

May God speak to you today as you watch this worship song!

My Savior my God
Aaron Shust

D
I am not skilled to understand 
        G
What God has willed, what God has planned 
                           A
I only know at his right hand
                       D 
Stands one who is my savior 

D
I take him at his word and deed 
                                G
Christ died to save me this I read 
                           A
And in my heart I find a need 
                  D
For him to be my savior 
 
                            G
That he would leave his place on high
     A 
And come for sinful man to die
                                G
You count it strange, so once did I 
                      D
Before I knew my savior 

     Bm                      G
My savior loves, my savior lives 
            D                A
My savior's always there for me 
      Bm                  G
My God he was, my God he is 
          D              A
My God he's always gonna be 

D        
Yes, living, dying; let me bring 
                                   G
My strength, my solace from this spring 
                             A
That he who lives to be my king 
                     D
Once died to be my savior 

                                  G
That he would leave his place on high 
                            A
And come for sinful man to die 
                                 G
You count it strange, so once did I
                    D 
Before I knew my savior

This should be right. It's a great worship song. Sing for His glory. :o)

Days of Elijah

By Thor

On December 7, 2009

In Praise & Worship

Paul Wilbur version of Days of Elijah. I enjoyed every second of it. Watch and be blessed. This video from Youtube was uploaded by guruinmedia taken from a DVD “A night of Extravagant Worship” available at www.wilburministries.com. Directed by Carey Goin

Days of Elijah

These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the word of the Lord
And these are the days of your servant, Moses
Righteousness being restored
And though these are days of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still, we are the voice in the desert, crying
“Prepare ye the way of the Lord!”
chorus:

Behold he comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun, at the trumpet’s call
So lift your voice, It’s the year of Jubilee
And out of Zion’s hill, salvation comes.

And these are the days of Ezekiel,
The dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days of your servant, David,
Rebuilding the temple of praise.
And these are the days of the harvest,
The fields are as white in the world.
And we are the laborers in Your vineyard,
Declaring the word of the Lord!

Repeat Chorus

There’s no God like Jehovah,
There’s no God like Jehovah,
There’s no God like Jehovah!

God's Word For You Today: Repent!

By Thor

On December 4, 2009

In christian articles

I stumbled upon The Daily Spurgeon Website today and what I dig is a precious digest of a sermon by Charles H Spurgeon entitled “Apostolic Exhortation.” I have quoted in its entirety in order not to miss every single nugget of wisdom from this great man popularly known as the “Prince of Preachers.” In a written authobiography, it stated that in his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to around 10 million people often up to 10 times each week at different places.

The digest speaks about repentance. As a born again Christian, I need to emphasize the fundamental requirement of repentance, that is turning away from sins. In Luke 5:27-32, Jesus said “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Who is without sin? Well, I guess if you are an atheist, you would claim that you do not have one. A huge lie. We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). We are commanded to repent that our sins may be blotted out. I say that unless a sinner repent or turn away from his/her sins, there is no genuine christian conversion but a blatant hypocrisy.

I now share to you the precious digest I’m referring to above:

Nothing Else But Jesus Christ

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” — Acts 3:19.

Peter… preached not merely the gospel of good news, but Christ, the person of Christ; Christ crucified — crucified by them, Christ risen, Christ glorified of his Father. Depend upon it, this is the very strength of the Christian ministry, when it is saturated with the name and person and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. Take Christ away, and you ungospelise the gospel, you do but pour out husks such as swine do eat, while the precious kernel is removed, seeing you have taken away the person of the Lord Jesus Christ….

Peter would tell them about Jesus Christ, and about nothing else but Jesus Christ. He knew this to be the power of God unto salvation, and he would not flinch from it; so to them, even to them, he delivered the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, with a pungency as well as a simplicity scarcely to be rivalled. Notice how he puts it: “Ye” have slain him; “ye” have crucified him; “ye” have preferred a murderer. He is not afraid of being personal; he does not shirk the touching of men’s consciences; he rather thrusts his hand into their hearts and make them feel their sin; he labors to open a window into the darkness of their spirits, to let the light of the Holy Ghost shine into their soul.

Even thus, my brethren, when we preach the gospel, must we do: affectionately but graciously must we deal with men. Far hence be all trimming and mincing of matters. Accursed let him be that takes away from the gospel of Jesus Christ that he may win popular applause, or who bates his breath and smoothes his tongue that he may please the unholy throng. Such a man may have for a moment the approbation of fools, but, as the Lord his God liveth, he shall be set as a target for the arrows of vengeance in the day when the Lord cometh to judge the nations. Peter, then, boldly and earnestly preached the gospel — preached the Christ of the gospel — preached it personally and directly at the crowd who were gathered around him.

From a sermon entitled “Apostolic Exhortation,” delivered April 5, 1868

I Will Rise by Chris Tomlin (Video)

By Thor

On December 2, 2009

In christian songs, Praise & Worship

Thank you God for the gift of music! Our hope is in Christ. Isaiah 40:31 says: “But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles.They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”

Watch this video by Chris Tomlin. Be blessed!

There’s a peace I’ve come to know. Though my heart and flesh may fail. There’s an anchor for my soul, I can say “It is well”. Jesus has overcome. And the grave is overwhelmed. The victory is won He is risen from the dead

And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles’ wings
Before my God fall on my knees and rise
I will rise

There’s a day that’s drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles’ wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
“Worthy is the Lamb”
And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
“Worthy is the Lamb”

And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles’ wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

Vanity of Vanities

By Thor

On November 30, 2009

In Headline

For what would it profit us to know the whole Bible by heart and the principles of all the philosophers if we live without grace and the love of God?

Vanity of vanities and all is vanity, except to love God and serve Him alone.

This is the greatest wisdom — to seek the kingdom of heaven through contempt of the world.

IT IS VANITY…

It is vanity, therefore, to seek and trust in riches that perish.
It is vanity also to court honor and to be puffed up with pride.
It is vanity to follow the lusts of the body and to desire things for which severe punishment later must come.
It is vanity to wish for long life and to care little about a well-spent life.
It is vanity to be concerned with the present only and not to make provision for things to come.
It is vanity to love what passes quickly and not to look ahead where eternal joy abides.
