Hope & Faith

From Meredith's album "As Long As It Takes". Written by Meredith Andrews, Paul Baloche, and Jacob Sooter. That's Paul singing along with Meredith. A wonderful song about, well, God's love, as the title says. A simple song of thanks for the way that God loves us.

This is an excerpt from Jerry Bridge's book The Pursuit of Holiness.

I strongly encourage you to buy the book. It's pretty cheap: http://www.amazon.com/The-Pursuit-Holiness-Jerry-Bridges/dp/157683932X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339348980&sr=8-1

In all that has been said so far about our responsibility for holiness - the necessity of conviction and commitment, perseverance and discipline, and of holiness in body and in spirit - the activity of our wills is always implied. It is the will that ultimately makes each individual choice of whether we will sin or obey. It is the will that chooses to yield to temptation or to say no. Our wills, then, ultimately determine our moral destiny - whether we will be holy or unholy in our character and conduct.

Is Happiness all that it's made out to be? Are our pursuits for our own Happiness, or are they geared toward the Joy that God desires us to have? Do you have this lasting Joy that only comes through knowing Jesus? If not, come to know Jesus! He loves you and wants you to experience a life of lasting joy both here and in the Kingdom to come.

I'm talking about some things that were on my mind.

Daily Pulse - Philippians 3:10 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death...

Here's one of the best way to thank our veterans.
Praise God for men and women like these!

President Ronald Reagan was a man after God's own heart. The job of our nation's president is no easy feat and he knew that God had his hand over his Presidency. This is possibly the most profound and inspiring video tributes to President Reagan that you
will ever see! Done by the church he attended, Bel Air Presbyterian.

Tony and Laureen Giorgio talk about being happy in your circumstances.

The Lord is good. I have been given revelation as to the meaning of: I shall pour out my spirit upon all flesh. It is in each and everyone of us, by inheritance, that the spirit of God dwells. We are in God's righteous realm, unless we deny the spirit within us, given in Christ. It is the acceptance of the Gospel and Jesus Christ that we know and learn the things of God, and recieve his gifts and blessings... The Spirit of Truth stands as a beakon within us, that we keep sight, that we remain on the path to salvation, with the guidance thereof. Truth stands within us that we know the truth of our selves. It speaks through our loved ones, at a time we need to hear, as we convict our selves of our own sins faced with truth within us, we can not deny, lest we become dark full of despair. The spirit testifies the truth of how we hurt the ones we love in that darkend hour, and that we make amens before the witness of the Lord. We are of creation and God is within all things.

Former muslim convert interacted with group of Orthodox youth and gave intervew through a video-chat. She is not revealing her face cause her family condemned and threatened her for accepting Christ.

Prayer is not just receiving any and everything we pray for, but it is positioning oneself to receive everything the Father wills for an individual.

Daily Pulse - Ecclesiastes 2:24-25 A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?

Yeah, lots of people have made videos for this wonderful song. I thought I'd take a crack at it. My favorite line in the song is "Your promises remain". That's so comforting. We need to keep that in mind when we are going through trials, because no matter what befalls us, we can always cling to that truth, "Your promises remain". God is faithful. His promises will never be broken. And He has promised to hold our heart, and He always will, if we simply reach out to Him. Thank You, Lord.
