A Father’s Love

On January 5, 2019

In Featured, Headline, Inspirational, Reflections

“O Lord you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are the work of your hands.” (Isaiah 64:8)

The love of God is unfathomable. It is beyond measure. It is endless. I found this video very inspirational. I have viewed it many times and I won’t be disappointed to view it again and again. I’m posting it for you to experience the love of God. I pray that as you watch this video, you will encounter God in a very special way.

God is no respecter of people. He loves us unconditionally no matter who we are: a husband, a wife, a farmer, a teacher, a lawyer, a doctor, an atheist, a politician, or an ordinary people. I believe that every person is special in the eyes of God for after all, He created man in His image. His masterpiece.

Hillsong : Mighty To Save

By Thor

On January 1, 2019

In Praise & Worship

The LORD your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with his love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” (Zephaniah 3:16-18)

The story of a tax collector named Zacchaeus illustrates this song by Hillsong entitled Mighty to Save. Jesus saves every man who is a sinner and is willing to turn away from his sins and follow Him. All of us come short to the standards of God. That is why we need the Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Read Zacchaeus story in Luke Chapter 19, first ten verses:

“Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully. But when they saw it, they all complained, saying, “He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.”

Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.”

And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.””

Hillsong Mighty To Save

Mighty To Save
Hillsong

Everyone needs compassion,

Love thats never failing
Let mercy fall on me

Well everyone needs forgiveness,
Kindness of a savior
The Hope of the nation

(Chorus)
Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is mighty to save,
He is mighty to save
Forever, author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again

I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender (and i surrender)

(Chorusx2)
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We’re singing, for the glory of the risen king, Jesus
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We’re singing for the glory of the risen king, Jesus

Casting Crowns – Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me) – No. 1 Christian Song, Billboard Chart

By Thor

On January 1, 2019

In christian songs, Praise & Worship

This is another wonderful song from Casting Crowns. Currently the Number 1 Song at the Billboard Chart under the Christian Songs Category.

The message of this song tells all about Jesus – His birth, His death, His resurrection, and His return!

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8NIV

One day when Heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He
Word became flesh and the light shined among us
His glory revealed

Living He loved me!
Dying He saved me!
Buried He carried my sins far away!
Rising He justified!
Freely forever!
One day He’s coming!
Oh glorious day!
Oh glorious day

One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He
Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree
He took the nails for me!

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose, over death He had conquered
Now is ascended, my Lord evermore
Death could not hold Him, the grave could not keep Him
From rising again

One day the trumpet will sound for His coming
One day the skies with His glories will shine
Wonderful day, my Beloved One bringing
My Savior Jesus is mine

Hazem Farraj Ex-Muslim From Islam to Christianity Testimony

By Thor

On December 29, 2018

In Headline

This is a powerful testimony of an Ex-Muslim who believes in Islam religion but converted to Christianity. Hazem was born into a Palestinian family in Brooklyn, New York in the year 1984. He is the ninth of thirteen children and was raised in an Islamic home. At the age of 12, his father decided to move the family to Jerusalem, their ethnic homeland. There, he continued to learn about Islam and the Arab culture and set out to be a better Muslim. However, the family plan was interrupted when Hazem was confronted with the real Jesus, not a prophet. This encounter would change his life forever. Now he is an religious freedoms advocate aspiring to change the laws in the Middle East. He is a minister, an author (Mohammed Jesus & Me) and a public speaker who has given his life to share a simple easy to understand Gospel. Watch his testimony video.

Hazem Farraj Ex-Muslim Testimony

“Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. – Revelation 12:10-11

Casting Crowns Thrive – Live Performance

By Thor

On December 19, 2018

In Featured, Headline, Praise & Worship

“Its time for us to more than just survive. We were made to thrive!” – Casting Crowns Thrive

]Thrive is written by Mark Hall, Matthew West

‘We’ve kind of had this Celtic feel with a couple of songs in the past like ‘Praise You with the Dance’ and ‘Spirit Wind’ so it’s always been a little part of us and we just thought with this big, fun worship song, that we’d just make it a big camp song. It’s kind of natural, but the idea of ‘Thrive’ came out of our student ministry. For years I’ve been using the idea of Psalm One in showing them what a believer looks like… If you’re not getting into the word for God to define Himself to you, you will define God with what makes sense to you and what makes sense to us is, ‘I better do good or I’m in big trouble’ and ‘He’s going to stick with me for so long, but I’m going to blow it.’ That’s not the picture that the Bible has. God didn’t put you here just so you could survive through hard times. He put you here to thrive, to dig in and to reach out and this record is an effort to draw a picture of what a believer, a follower of Jesus, would look like if they dug into their roots and understood God and themselves more.” ~ Mark Hall

Thrive Lyrics

Here in this worn and weary land
Where many a dream has died
Like a tree planted by the water
We never will run dry

So living water flowing through
God, we thirst for more of You
Fill our hearts and flood our souls with one desire

Just to know You and to make You known
We lift Your name on high
Shine like the sun, make darkness run and hide
We know we were made for so much more than ordinary lives
Its time for us to more than just survive
We were made to thrive

Into Your word, were digging deep
To know our Fathers heart
Into the world, were reaching out
To show them who You are

Joy unspeakable, faith unsinkable
Love unstoppable, anything is possible
