Enough (Chris Tomlin)

" All of You is more than enough for all of me For every thirst and every need You satisfy me with Your love And all I have in You is more than enough" This is another great song of Chris Tomlin from the album See The Morning Album. As I look it into the lyrics of this song, it points me to Philippians 4:19 that declares that our God shall supply all our need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. And on the same book, of the bible, we are reminded to "be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;  and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7) Thank you Lord for your promises. Truly you are the God of increase; the God of blessings; and the God of miracles. Glory to your Name on high. You are more than enough for us.

City of Buenos Aires , Argentina Gay couples celebrates victory in Argentina . They are now given same rights enjoyed by their heterosexual counterparts including adopting children after the country legalised same-sex marriage last Thursday, 15 July 2010.

Come Boldly To The Throne of Grace

"No judge or dissenter can thwart the sovereign purposes of a God who hears and answers the pleas of His people. Believers in Jesus Christ can come "boldly to the throne of grace" (Hebrews 4:16), now that His sacrificial death, burial and resurrection has atoned for sins and opened the way into His presence through faith in Him." Franklin Graham ( Praying Without Ceasing )    Yes Lord! In your freedom I will live. Thank you that I can boldly to your throne of grace made possible by your Son, my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I humbly offer my life to you. Guide me in all the days of my life. Credits: In Your Freedom by Hillsong from Youtube , user WimNL

The Jesus I Never Knew

Christianity is not a doctrine, not truth as truth, but the knowledge of a Person; it is knowing the Lord Jesus. You cannot be educated into being a Christian. -- T. Austin-Sparks A funny church sign says: " There are some questions that can't be answered by Google!" With enough curiousity, I typed in "Jesus" in Google Search and bingo! There are about 175,000,000 results in 0.15 seconds! The top 5 results is from Wikipedia , a funny titled website called " Jesus Dress Up ",  a question-captioned site called " Who is Jesus-Really? ," Youtube videos, and The Jesus Film Project . With the advance technology that we are in nowadays, we process a lot of information. Good or bad. True or not true. Relevant or irrelevant. But who is Jesus really? With 175 millions hits in Google, where a lot us rely for quick information, Jesus is undeniably one of the most popular Person throughout our history. In fact He is very controversial. A lot o...

Chris Tomlin: Your Grace is Enough

"Great is Your love and justice God. You use the weak to lead the strong.You lead us in the song of Your salvation. And all Your people sing along" - Chris Tomlin ,  Your Grace Is Enough (Arriving Album Version) .  Chris Tomlin were at the Youth Specialties convention when his band was asked to to back up a guy named Matt Maher who originally wrote and composed this song. What is "Grace"? For most Christians, we define "grace" as God's unmerited favor. It is kindness from God that we don't deserve. An unconditional gift! There is nothing we have done, nor can ever do to earn this favor.  "In Christian theology it is defined as a state of sanctification by God; the state of one who is under such divine influence; a virtue coming from God; a state of sanctification enjoyed through divine favor.( 1 )"  The famous acronym for GRACE is this: G od's R iches A t C hrist's E xpense. This is the exact message of Ephesians 2:...

Still by Hillsong

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." ( Psalm 46:10 ) "The word still comes from a Hebrew word meaning to “let go” or “release.” The meaning would be best understood to say “cause yourself to become restrained or to let go.” In other words, we need to come to a place where we are willing to submit ourselves to God and acknowledging that He is in sovereign control."( 1 ).  We need to understand that God is the Fountain of power, wisdom, justice, goodness, and truth. Being Still according to Adam Clarke also means that we cease from provocations of the Divine justice; cease from murmuring against the dispensations of his providence; cease from your labor for a season, that ye may deeply reflect on the severity and goodness of God - severity to those who are brought down and destroyed; goodness to you who are raised up and exalted: - cease from sin and rebellion against your God; let that disgrace yo...

Oh Praise Him - David Crowder Band

I'm looking for a topic to write on this blog today and I stumbled on a song in Youtube entitled "O Praise Him" by The David Crowder Band .  I first heard about this band back in New Zealand when they performed at the annual Parachute Music Festival usually held in Mystery Creek , Hamilton, New Zealand. If you love the new breed of christian songs, you will surely like this band from Waco, Texas . This band began when David Crowder , from Texarkana, Texas, found out that almost half of the students of Baylor University, a christian university were not attending church. He and Chris Seay started University Baptist Church (Waco, Texas) in 1995 while he was still a student. Crowder led worship there and continued to do so throughout the year. The church's congregation grew, as did the band's lineup. The chorus goes "O Praise Him! He is holy!" Wow, a huge reminder and that's what I needed to hear today. There are time in our lives that we str...
