"She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[a] because he will save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21). What is Christ's greatest accomplishment? It was not His miracles or His insightful teaching or His example of love. The greatest achievement of the God of Christmas is salvation. Sin is a powerful force in our lives and holds us in captivity. The Bible describes our spiritual struggles and failures in various ways. For example, we are trapped as it were in a sea of mud. The more we struggle to get out, the deeper we sink. We are in a dark pit whose walls are so high that we can't possibly climb out. We are so terribly ill there is no cure. We are in a prison with no hope of being released. We are lost and don't know where to go. This is where the mission of Christmas brilliantly shines. Jesus is a great example, but His example is too high for any of us to keep, left to ourselves. He is a great teacher, but...

It's my first time to listen to this song and I can't help to share it on my blog. I'm a country music avid fan and Kenny Rogers is one of the world's best country singers. I really like how he and Wynonna Judd put spirit in every lyrics of the song. It is so believable! The lyrics of  Mary, Did You Know? tells the story of Jesus , His birth, His Ministry, and His Diety. He is the great "I Am."  Jesus said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever;" (John 6:51)  I AM from above . You are of this world; I am not of this world.( John 8:23)  " I AM the light of the world . He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." (John 8:12) "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM ." (John 8:58) " I AM the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture."( John 10:9) " I AM the ...

O yes, it's that time of year again. Christmas is fast approaching. I will be featuring Christmas songs and carols here on Behind Crossroads within the next few weeks. I will pick Christmas songs that really popular and those that reflect the true meaning of Christmas. For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.( Isaiah 9:6-7NKJV ) Celine Dion sings "O Holy Night" Live. Really great performance and honestly, I want to listen to it again and again. She's an accomplished and very popular singer. Her songs include pop ballads " My Heart Will Go On ," her Grammy-winning theme to the movie Titanic . The youngest in her musical family from rural Quebec, Canada .

I consider this very popular worship song, Here I am to Worship, as  one of best songs that I've ever heard or sang. Popular contemporary christian artists like Chris Tomlin , Tim Hughes , Michael W. Smith and many others put to life the lyrics of this song and the message it has for mankind. Darlene Zschech and the Hillsong Team version of Here I Am to Worship is somewhat unique and I love that part where Darlene sang an amazing verse "Call upon the name of the Lord and be saved! ( Romans 10:13 )"  It really brought this worship song into a higher step of evangelistic quality.  The video below that was uploaded on Youtube ( video link here )  had attracted over 3.6 millions. I am inspired to read various comments from many viewers of how this worship song has impacted their lives. One comment was a stand out for me and this is from Youtube member with the username phuong6936 . She/Hes has this comment: "I was a Buddhist, and accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savi...

Listening to this song Our God by Chris Tomlin while doing this blog entry created me an atmosphere of peace, stirred faith, and inspired spirit. In life, we are easily hooked up with our daily routines and oftentimes, our quiet time with the Lord is becoming less and less. We don't spend much time praying. We don't spend time singing a song of praise or worship. We don't spend time listening to what God has to say by reading His Word or listening to His still small voice. Oh, how easy easy it is to forget or  to procrastinate! But thanks be to God, His mercies never end. They are new every morning. Chris Tomlin put yet another piece of music that really stirred my Spirit. A huge statement and declaration about our Heavenly Father. As I try to follow and sing every lyrics, the more I feel and believe about the message of this song. You might one to try and experience it for yourself. It's really true.  "If God is for us, who can be against us?"  God is for ...

Looking at my twitter feeds this morning , I found this very interesting link about this contestant at the X-Factor UK . Rebecca Ferguson is singing Amazing Grace at the Semi-Finals! A very bold statement about her faith and she dared to sing a song that is probably unpopular to the huge audience of a reality TV Show. Just look at the reactions in the faces of the X-factor Judges. A caption on the the Youtube X-Factor channel commented that "Rebecca has wanted to sing this song for a very long time, so saving it for last was a very wise move."   If I were to vote, of course I can't coz I'm not in the UK, I would surely vote for her. I will launch a huge campaign for audience to keep her in the competition. The truth is, I like this song very much. Carrie Underwood , Stan Walker , Alan Jackson , Dolly Parton and other popular artists made this song a huge statement. Amazing Grace is the anthem of people who has experienced such an amazing encounter with God, about ...

I stumbled on this song by Chris Rice entitled Come to Jesus while I was reading my twitter feeds. Thanks @geishabird! This song reminds us of how Jesus can transform each and everyone of us once we decide to follow Him.  A lot of people are missing out of what Jesus has to offer. Some even miss out of life that is eternal. Jesus said: "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly (John 10:10)." What an awesome promise ! If you can't see the video click here .   Chris Rice - Untitled Hymn (Come To Jesus) Lyrics Weak and wounded sinner Lost and left to die O, raise your head, for love is passing by Come to Jesus Come to Jesus Come to Jesus and live! Now your burden's lifted And carried far away And precious blood has washed away the stain, so Sing to Jesus Sing to Jesus Sing to Jesus and live!  And like a newborn baby Don't be afraid to crawl And remember when you walk Sometimes we fall...so Fall on J...

I subscribe to Colin Smith 's weekly Lifekeys devotionals.  I just thought of sharing this one because I believe that we all need to sharpen our thoughts on the subject of Faith. One of favourite verses is Hebrews 11:6 that says "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." This verse has really provided me a clear understanding that we can't take away Faith when we talk about our relationship with God. Colin Smith, in this article explains Faith. "For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law." - Romans 3:28 Evangelicals have always stressed the wonderful truth that we are justified by faith. We have rightly placed great emphasis on justification by faith and not by works. But we have not always had a good grasp on what faith actually is. Hebrews 11 gives us a long list of the heroes of faith, men and...
