This young and talented breed of christian artists are from my former Church, Life, in Auckland, New Zealand. They are the “next gen” of the original Parachute Band that birthed in 1996.
One of their major events is the Annual Parachute Festival usually held in Mystery Creek, Hamilton, New Zealand where they perform in the Mainstage leading thousands of crowd of mostly young generation into the presence of God with their locally written worship music.
This worship song “Glorified” is simply one of their outstanding compositions. I really love this song because of its great message of giving glory to Jesus Christ who done everything for us to have peace with our Almighty Father in heaven.

If you love listening to Billy Graham sermons then this is for you. This clip started in Titus 2:13 where the Bible says that we are “looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” Rev. Billy Graham pointed out that there are two sides of the crowd gathered regarding the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. First, those that don’t know Christ who are with fear, who are afraid of the judgment, who are afraid of not able to stand up and are lost; and Second, those who are looking forward to his coming with great joy and anticipation because they are ready. Tired of this world and who are ready to go home. Which side are you today? Is your Seat reserved?
Reverend Billy Graham preached this message “Is Your Seat Reserved?” in South Bend, Indiana, United States in 1977. That was 35 years ago but truth about what he preached is as fresh and applicable for us who are living today. I hope you have time to watch and reflect on this sermon.
Billy Graham delivered the message of Christ’s freedom and forgiveness around the world, reaching over 200 million people in more than 185 countries. He lead hundreds of thousands of people to pray to receive Jesus Christ into their lives as Lord and Savior. His integrity and wisdom opened doors to offer spiritual support and guidance for United States presidents from Eisenhower to Bush. He was a friend to celebrities, politicians, athletes, and leaders, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Bono, Muhammad Ali, Johnny Cash, Larry King, and WWII hero and Olympian Louis Zamperini.
Billy Graham was named by Americans as “One of the Ten Most Admired Men in the World,” a record-breaking 59 times with the Gallup poll. He was known through the years as not only a world renowned evangelist, but as a kind, non-judgmental, accepting, and humorous soul.

The Day of the Lord
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.[c]11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. ( 2 Peter 3:10-13 NKJV)
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. (Galatians 5: 16:25)
Dr. Charles Stanley preached on Walking in the Holey Spirit. Who is the Holy Spirit? Why do we need to be led by the Holy Spirit? Why is it important to walk in the Holy Spirit? These are some of the important questions that are answered on this message. Please watch the video.

Bible Reading:
A Woman Caught in Adultery
8 Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, 2 but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. 3 As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd. 4 “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” 6 They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. 7 They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” 8 Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust. 9 When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. 10 Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” 11 “No, Lord,” she said.
And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”
Christians men are not immune to pornography. With the advancement of technology especially the internet, men have easy access to pornography. It’s a tough battle once it becomes an addiction. Watch this testimony of Tim Broersma who allowed porn addiction to escalate to adultery. When his wife Stephanie found out about the infidelity, the couple had to decide how they would move forward in their marriage.

…”we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” – Romans 8:23
“For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile a person.” – Mark 7:21-23
“Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” – Romans 12:1b-2a
“So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” – 1 Corinthians 10:12-13
“But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” – 1 Timothy 6:11-12
