Spectacular “Nearer My God To Thee” Choir Performance by BYU Men’s Chorus

WATCH this spectacular performance of the “Nearer, My God, to Thee” by the Brigham Young University (BYU) Men’s Chorus. This all male choir is one of the largest collegiate male choral organizations with 180-voice ensemble! They sang this very popular 19th-century Christian hymn by Sarah Flower Adams. It tells the story of Jacob’s dream in Genesis 28:11–12: “So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it…”

Nearer My God to Thee Lyrics

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
E’en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.

Refrain:
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I’d be nearer, my God, to Thee.

There let the way appear, steps unto Heav’n;
All that Thou sendest me, in mercy giv’n;
Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee.

Then, with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs Bethel I’ll raise;
So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee.

Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I’ll fly,
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.

There in my Father’s home, safe and at rest,
There in my Savior’s love, perfectly blest;
Age after age to be nearer, my God, to Thee.

Team Hoyt Story : Very Inspirational Story of Father’s Love to His Son

I have watched this clip several times and I cannot stop being inspired everytime I view the same again and again. It’s a concrete demonstration of a father’s love to his son. In my deep thoughts, I realize how God’s love is being manifested to mankind. God offers a love more than our earthly father could give. God’s desire is to lavish His unconditional love to anyone. A love that is beyond all measures. A love that is endless. A steadfast love. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, that whoever(that’s you and me) believes in Him (Jesus) should not perish but have everlasting life( John 3:16). God offers a free gift. A gift of eternal life, that is through His Son, Jesus Christ. It is not about the good things we do but it is about His unmerited favor, called grace, so that no one will boast. It’s up for grab and all we have to do is receive God’s gift.
Truly, God is our perfect Father!( Matthew 5:48)

I am the Light of the World

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” John 8:12 NASB
I am the Light of the World John 8 v 12

Adam Clarke Commentary on John 8:12 Adam Clarke Bible Commentary Published 1810-1826

I am the light of the world – The fountain whence an intellectual light and spiritual understanding proceed: without me all is darkness, misery, and death. The Divine Being was, by the rabbins denominated, The light of the world. So in Bamidbar Rabba: “The Israelites said to God, O Lord of the universe, thou commandest us to light lamps to thee, yet thou art The Light of The World: and with thee the light dwelleth.” Our Lord, therefore, assumes here a well known character of the Supreme Being; and with this we find the Jews were greatly offended.


Shall not walk in darkness – He shall be saved from ignorance, infidelity, and sin. If he follow me, become my disciple, and believe on my name, he shall have my Spirit to bear witness with his, that he is a child of God. He shall have the light of life – such a light as brings and supports life. The sun, the fountain of light, is also the fountain of life: by his vivifying influences, all things live – neither animal nor vegetative life could exist, were it not for his influence. Jesus, the Sun of righteousness, Mal_4:2, is the fountain of all spiritual and eternal Life. His light brings life with it, and they who walk in his light live in his life. This sentiment is beautifully expressed and illustrated in the following inimitable verse (all monosyllables except one word) of that second Spenser, Phineas Fletcher. Speaking of the conversion of a soul to God, he says: –

“New Light new Love, new Love new Life hath bred;
A Life that lives by Love, and loves by Light:
A Love to him, to whom all Loves are wed;
A Light, to whom the sun is darkest night:
Eye’s Light, heart’s Love, soul’s only Life he is:
Life, soul, love, heart, Light, eye, and all are his:
He eye, Light, heart, Love, soul; He all my joy and bliss.”
Purple Island, Can. I. v. 7.

How Can I Overcome Anxiety, Fear, and Depression?

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

We cannot hide the fact that some people, even Christians, struggle and suffer depression and anxiety because of challenging situations they are facing. It’s a battle that they have to fight. Dr. Charles Stanley answers, discusses, and shares his insights on a viewer’s email asking “How can a Christian, overwhelmed by life’s difficulties, overcome depression and anxiety?” in his regular TV Program In Touch.

Dealing With Anxiety From A Christian Perspective

Dr. Charles F. Stanley, senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of Atlanta and founder of In Touch Ministries, demonstrates a keen awareness of people’s needs by providing practical biblical truths for everyday life. Modeling his ministry after the apostle Paul’s message to the Ephesians, Dr. Stanley believes that: “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus–the work of telling others the Good News about God’s mighty kindness and love” (Acts 20:24, TLB).” Read more about Dr Charles Stanley on this link.

With God I Am Safe - A Touching Short Film Animation

For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” – Hebrews 13:5

With God I Am Safe


But you are not alone. In the midst of unspeakable sorrow, God is with you. Even if you do not feel Him near, God is there. He promises to never leave you alone. Therefore, wherever you are, God is. He is with you before, during, and after the storm, never losing sight of you, or your suffering. Even as you ponder how you will begin picking up the pieces of your life, God is there … loving you beyond understanding, holding you up, and making a way where it seems there is no way. Reach out for Him today. He is a very present help in times of trouble (see Psalm 46:1)” (Excerpted from God Has Not Forgotten You: A 31-Day Devotional By Leslie Barner)
