Sometimes we run across a song that pierces our heart so strongly that everything else just seems to stand still for a while. This is exactly what happens to me when I watch this video by MercyMe. It's provides a short escape to reflect on the people that are no longer with me, those loved ones that have went on to be with the Lord.
Every heartbeat, every breath, and every action that we take is a blessing from the Lord. Make no mistake that everything we did today and everything we will do tomorrow is because He wills it so.
It's so important to give thanks to Him every single day. For we are promised nothing and could be but a memory tomorrow.
I will come like a thief in the night.
Thessalonians 5
God bless you. And this is for His Glory!

Faith
Since I'm kind of a techie guy, I must say that I found this rather amusing. Okay, who am I kidding this was downright hilarious! It's a spin-off of the PC vs. Mac commercials, but instead is Evolution vs. Creation. Enough said.

God bless you. And this is for His Glory!

Jesus' Last Command
Embedded below is one of the most viewed religious clips on the Web. In 5 minutes and 33 seconds it pretty much wraps up most of our daily struggles with temptation and shows how Jesus always intervenes on our behalf...always out of love.
The question is not whether or not he is watching over us...
So Jesus came to them and said, "All authority (power) in heaven and on earth is given to me. So go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach those people to obey everything that I have told you. You can be sure that I will be with you always. I will continue with you until the end of the world."
Matthew 28:18-20
...the question is whether or not we open our hearts to listen and allow Him in.
"That last hug. That last kiss. That last look. That last wave. Each of them is very important when you are leaving someone you love, especially if it could be the last time you see them for awhile. But the last word, that one last message, is precious. You try to make it pleasant ... you try to make it memorable ... you try to make it affectionate ... but most of all, you want your one last word to count!
The Great Commission is Jesus' last earthly message to his disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. While Jesus still leads and guides, this is the message he wants his disciples to remember as his parting command. This is his final message. He stresses emphatically that it is based upon his authority over everyone and everything and everywhere. What is that message? GO MAKE DISCIPLES!
Notice Jesus doesn't want us running all over the place telling about him. Notice he doesn't just want us baptizing everyone we see. Notice he doesn't just want us to teach others to follow him. He wants us to do all three! Go, baptize, and teach to obey so they will be my disciples, too! If we heed these marching orders, if we get out of the shadow of our church buildings and culture, he will go with us! That's it. That's Jesus' one last word. It's also our first word!"

A Child's Faith
I know that I've been on a video kick here lately. But, there are times when I just think these videos provide a type of message that is important to share.
This particular video (really it's more of a conversation) is something that's been spreading across the internet lately and you might have already received it over email. But if you only decide to watch one video on this site, watch this one. This level of pure faith is just not seen or heard of very often. God is working through this young boy and it's a moving experience to listen to.
God bless you. And this is for His glory!

The Jesus Rant
This short video is one of those that "knocks you back" into reality after watching it. I find myself (all too often), not giving thanks for all of the wonderful gifts that the Lord has blessed me with. I often find myself taking the things that are considered "normal" for granted. It's so easy to get caught up in our daily routines...but what about God? I'd say that He's caught up in all of us. Suddenly my schedule doesn't seem so hectic after all.
Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.
Psalm 34:3
God bless you. And this is for His Glory!
