Be Thou My Vision

An interesting version of the song :D Enjoy

Lady Gaga's "Judas"

I saw this on youtube. This type of thing reminds me of what we don't do. It reminds me what other must feel when people talk crap about their religion. I honestly felt like punching stuff when I watched it. Especially the part where the guy talked about how Christians don't know about their own religion and how we're confused. Talking about the Mary Magdaline story, "in all the ways it told in the new testiment?" and the "study" that found that atheists and agnostics know more about Christianity and religion then Christians do.



I had to watch this to balance me back out.

Lovely guitar solo.

Satan Sings... The Father of All Lies

Hey, thought that I should share this video to everyone.
It's super cute!
My friend (I don't know if she would feel comfortable if I posted her name on the net), shared it with me as a reminder of what Satan does and is doing.

Like how it was a good reminder for me, I hope that you guys will also be reminded of what Satan wants and that we don't fall into his plans.

This week, I've been feeling pretty discouraged about some stuff, but at the same time, people have been encouraging me to not feel discouraged with whatever. And I just have to remember to not feel discouraged because I can very easily fall into Satan's trap. Or like what my sister said, "...you are falling into the traps of Satan and how he will intentionally trick you into feeling guilt" (Me: Which I was feeling throughout the whole week) "You need to go to the Lord to release you from this burden and if you continue to listen to the lies and temptations, you will sin"

Yeaaaaah.

Listen :)

I just figured you could check in a see what I'm thinking about.

Promises

Hey Guys~

In today's worship set we sang "Your Grace is Enough" and there is a part that goes,

So remember Your People
Remember Your Children
Remember Your Promise, Oh God.

I really love this part and it's something that is not just about God remembering, it's about his people, it's also a reminder to me. What does it mean that we're his people and What does it mean to be his Child? I think those questions are interesting and I fully expect that you have answers for this, but the hard question is this, "What promises of God have you claimed for yourself?" What promises does God want to fulfill? You can't tell him to remember and have no idea for yourself, right?

Take some time and think about this. It is something that has really helped a few of us in our walks. It is a good step towards knowing the specific will of God in your life when you come to know the promises he has for you.

Facebook

A Facebook post: Can anyone tell me why it is so hard for people to pray, but easy to swear? Why it is so hard to re-post a status about God, but easy to post gossip? Why we can worship a celebrity, but not Jesus? Gonna ignore this? Most of you won't re-post this. The Lord said, if you deny me in front of your friends, I will deny you in front of my Father. I posted. Will you?

A comment about the post: Who the hell worships a celebrity? Those are just crazed fanatics, there's a difference. Why is it so hard to pray? Because there are things we don't necessarily need that requires "praying". Why is it so hard to re-post a status about God?... Because not everyone believes in him, not everyone is a Christian or Catholic.

If you can provide SCIENTIFIC proof, not stories that are in the bible, that God is real, then I have no reason to believe in him. I'm atheist. but I'm starting to get tired of people like this targeting atheists for not believing in God like it's a crime. It's our choice not to believe in certain things, not yours.

cravings

Sometimes I get a craving for McDonalds or some other really fatty food. For the most part of my life I thought that everyone gets those but more and more I find people telling me they this fastfood or greasy food is disgusting. Why is that? I don't know. Maybe it's me but I think it's delicious. I'd feel bad in my mind by my mouth would be happy and my tummy too. People ask me, "don't you feel gross after eating it?" No, I don't. I am jealous of those people (if it's true and they aren't just saying the culturally acceptable thing, which i do suspect) and I wish I didn't crave such stupid things.

This really is one of those things with me. The "story of my life" so to speak. I crave stupid stuff all the time. That's how sin is, a big craving and I often don't feel bad about it. I know it's bad and I understand how the universe works but feeling, no, i don't feel bad. I understand the transformational life and that's why I wonder how people deal with this. I know that i crave less and less and that's the death to the old self that I see but it's weird to me when I feel like people don't crave sin. I don't have many thoughts beyond that. I'm jealous of those that don't like sin. I'd be nice if I could like it less too.

So feel free to pray that I love God more. That way I'll crave less.

Follow Up Questions: Love Wins

So I wanted to follow up with some thoughts on my previous post.

Who goes to Heaven? Did Gandhi go to Hell? What does the Bible say about it?

After knowing who's going where, what do you do with a person that is going to hell?

Rob Bell - Love Wins

I'm not sure if you're all familiar with Rob Bell and the "Nooma" videos. He's got a new book called "Love Wins" and it explores the idea of God, Heaven and Hell.



I'm curious to here what you think about this.

Inches

Hey guys,
I guess you can take a look at the attached vid. It's an old movie I saw a while ago and there is the classic inspirational speech. This is a movie that more or less went unnoticed I think but I do like this speech. I guess I've been lacking that fervor. I've been giving up some inches I think.

2:45-3:24

"When we add up all those inches, that's going to be the difference between winning and losing. between living and dying. I'll tell you this, In any fight it's the guy that's willing to die that is going to win that inch. And I know that if i'm going to have any life anymore it's because i'm still willing to fight and die for that inch. because that's what living is. the 6 inches in front of your face."



I think this is what it feels like to get older and It's nice to be reminded of this while i'm getting older. I don't want to be that guy that doesn't wake up and fight for every inch. There is never an excuse for getting old. It's why I need people like you guys to go that inch with me and I hope i can do that for you guys. I hope that we can fight for those inches together~
