praise

I've been feeling 'off' in my Christian walk for a while. Its been getting gradually worse. Some call it a 'wilderness' period? Yesterday, I felt physically sick with it. I'd had too much caffeine, don't think that helped, but I didn't sleep at all last night. Once i'd stopped doing d.i.y...

Here's a very short video (less than 2 minutes long) I made about the power of thanksgiving. Hope it blesses you!

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. - 1 Peter 1:3 Sometimes our life seems to spiritually become foggy and we lose sight of what really matters...

Here's a short video I made about the nature of true worship. Hope it blesses you.

“Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.” (Psalm 42:5-6) Sometimes the only way out of a foggy valley of sadness or depression or fear is the thing that, at the time, we feel least capable of doing...

“Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of Love! Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, Opening to the sun above! Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, Drive the dark of doubt away. Giver of immortal gladness, Fill us with the Light of day! All Thy works with joy surround Thee! Earth...

If you're feeling down today, even though you don't feel like it, put on some upbeat praise music and remind yourself of the good things God has done for you in the past -- and praise Him. King David would do this when He was feeling down and it always served to lift his spirits and strengthen...

When God says in his Word that we are to be holy as he is holy, he means that we are to be separate from (different, unlike) this sinful world, because we are becoming like Jesus. His idea of worship of him is that we offer our lives to him as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to him, which...

We should take this attitude toward our own suffering, persecutions, troubles, and grief, etc. We should realize that God has not abandoned us in our suffering, he will never leave us or forsake us, he is in complete control of our circumstances, he knows what he is doing, none of this has taken...

This is a song of praise to God, who is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has blessed those of us who are his with every spiritual blessing in Christ. That means that we have been given all we ever need for every situation in our lives through our faith in Jesus Christ. He is all we need...

Tuesday, September 15, 2015, 4:37 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Hear My Voice.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Isaiah 26:1-10 (ESV). A Strong City (vv. 1-4) In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city; he sets up salvation as...

This is a song about faith in Jesus Christ and about keeping that faith strong, vibrant and ongoing. It begins with repentance and obedience to Jesus Christ and to his commands for our lives. It moves from there to our daily walk of fellowship in his love. We cannot have fellowship with God if...
