The Christmas Miracle

I love how this time of year gives us the opportunity to share our faith. Some like to talk about religion and history, others about the relationship with God.
There is a freedom to speak, an open door of friendship and opportunities to give.

Break free out of the slavery of societal pressure, and come into His peaceful rest. Rest is the gift that Jesus gave and continues to gives with His presence. Walk away from bitterness and loneliness and find ways to get closer to the One true Love that died to set us free.

So let us now live in that freedom. All it takes is to sit quietly, listen and pray. Ask to know Him. Ask for His rest. Enjoy this season without question, without complaint and discover the freedom and continue the journey that will take you through to the other side. It's up to you to receive, the greatest gift ever given.

-Peace

He Loves!

I was thinking the other day on just how much our God LOVES! How can we complain after our eyes and ears are opened to the truth of HIS Love for us? We simply, can Not. As you play this video, sit down, close your eyes and sense "His amazing Love"!!!

What if your right?

But what if there's more? What if it's love?

What If
What if you're right?
And he was just another nice guy
What if you're right?
What if it's true?
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it's true?

What if he takes his place in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then?

(Chorus)
But what if you're wrong?
What if there's more?
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?
What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He's more than enough?
What if it's love?

What if you dig, What if you dig
Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends
What if you dig?
What if you find
A thousand more unanswered questions down inside
That's all you find

What if you pick apart the logic
And begin to poke the holes
What if the crown of thorns is no more
Than folklore that must be told and retold

(Chorus)

You've been running as fast as you can
You've been looking for a place you can land for so long
But what if you're wrong?

What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He's more than enough?
What if it's love?

Identity

Recently our small group leader sent a questionaire about people and outreach. It sparked a thought. What is our identity? True identity is found in Christ. We have one race, the human race, but so many separate themselves in many different groups. I wonder if we strip away all stereotypes we would find that we have so much more in common that is different. Strip away ageism. Strip away like-appearances. Strip away selfishness. Perhaps now there's a chance for outreach. And who are we reaching out to, except each other. We're people. That's enough commonality for me.

To put it in the words of a famous songwriter Matt Redmond- "When the music fades and all is stripped away and I simply come. Longing just to bring something that's of worth that will Bless Your Heart. I'll bring You more than a song. For a song in itself, is not what You have required. You search much deeper within, to the way things appear. Your looking into my heart. I'm coming back to a heart of worship. When it's all about You. All about You, Jesus.

What is The Church?

I've been wondering just what is so important or supposedly stable about attending one church meeting on Sunday. I attend somewhere between 1 to 5 services a week on the internet, in person with simulcast, in person at a church facility with a preacher and in a home under a major ministry.

Still people want to know what church I go to. Really is it necessary to give a list? Are others more stable because they attend one service where I may attend 4 in one week?
Where are the true friendships in "fellowships"? Are people just happy to be religious? I hear words such as "my church" or "my ministry". What it's all about? Honestly, what about Jesus? Are so many content with singing a pretty song with the appearance of stability in the eyes of man? Where is the true calling? Where are the real friends in "The Family Of God"?

I pray for "The Church" because one day we may not have the pretty buildings to go to.
Instead if we are not, the church, then our religion will fade away. Our faith will not pass a trying test.

May you be strong in THE LORD and the power of HIS Might and may all else fade away. Who will dare to be a true friend to someone instead of pumping up egos by "ministering" at people?

Honestly, we are all on the the same boat. Let's give glory to God and be-friend one another.

Waiting everyday to see if you wrote me a letter.

The Same Man

This song brings me back to days of Messianic fellowship. I learned so much from an opportunity of learning about Ruth in the bible. About "The Feasts Of The Lord." It opened my eyes to the connection of the Old Testament to the New. He is the same man. Well, although this song talks about a human, I see it in the eyes of the bride of Christ to her husband. Thank you so much Rachel Loy for giving us your heart in the songs that you have written. It was a privilege to know you then, and to see your success now. To quote another song "I hope that life treats you kind." and that your knowledge and relationship with Jesus, Messiah grows into an amazing flower displayed for all to see. This is my prayer for all my readers and friends. So, be that shining light that pierces the darkness. You won't have to 'wait everyday to see if I wrote you a letter'. Just visit my page from time to time.

Karaoke ?! It's just for fun ;-)

There are lots of Karaoke participants globally. Often this activity is looked down upon by serious musicians. If we look at history, tho' much of what is looked down upon ends up in the mainstream. This is probably due more to marketing needs than anything else. Where a business can make profit, they will find a way to incorporate whatever it takes to provide "atmosphere" in a way that is free or cost effective to them. In some ways this makes the musician slave to the business owner. Whereas we might prefer, there to be an equal partnership; there is always one "partner" who gains above another. Perhaps this is dependent on what our focus or little "gods" are in our lives. Now take away the little "gods" and worship The Only True God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Now we have commonality. Now we have equal partnership with one another and full Honor to The Only One who deserves our undivided focus, our complete worship, and our continual praise. Now we're cooking with gas!
