I Will Rise

Thank you God for the gift of music! Our hope is in Christ. Isaiah 40:31 says: "But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles.They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint." Watch this video by Chris Tomlin. Be blessed! There's a peace I've come to know. Though my heart and flesh may fail. There's an anchor for my soul, I can say "It is well". Jesus has overcome. And the grave is overwhelmed. The victory is won He is risen from the dead And I will rise when He calls my name No more sorrow, no more pain I will rise on eagles' wings Before my God fall on my knees and rise I will rise There's a day that's drawing near When this darkness breaks to light And the shadows disappear And my faith shall be my eyes Jesus has overcome And the grave is overwhelmed The victory is won He is risen from the dead And I will rise when He calls my name No more sorrow, no

Billy Graham: My Moment of Decision

"Read Billy Graham's testimony, in his own words, of the moment that he decided to give his life to Jesus Christ." My Moment of Decision I'll never forget my first year in high school. Babe Ruth, the great "king of swat ," came to my hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina, to play an exhibition game. All of us were on the front seats shouting and yelling at the top of our lungs. My father, who had taken us to the game, arranged for me to shake hands with the great Babe. I will never forget the thrill of shaking hands with the fellow who was the idol of all our young hearts. I didn't wash my hand for about three days. The next day at school, I was the envy of all my friends. During my last years in high school, my keenest ambition was to be a professional baseball player. I dreamed of playing in Wrigley Field in Chicago and Yankee Stadium in New York. I "ate up" the sports pages. When I was sixteen, after finishing a game, I was invit

Vanity of Vanities

For what would it profit us to know the whole Bible by heart and the principles of all the philosophers if we live without grace and the love of God? Vanity of vanities and all is vanity, except to love God and serve Him alone. This is the greatest wisdom -- to seek the kingdom of heaven through contempt of the world. IT IS VANITY... It is vanity, therefore, to seek and trust in riches that perish. It is vanity also to court honor and to be puffed up with pride. It is vanity to follow the lusts of the body  and to desire things for which severe punishment later must come. It is vanity to wish for long life and to care little about a well-spent life. It is vanity to be concerned with the present only and not to make provision for things to come. It is vanity to love what passes quickly and not to look ahead where eternal joy abides.

Philippine Mayor Charged over Massacre of 57 Defenceless People

I woke up today with the headline of yet another politically related brutal and senseless killings of innocent civilians in my home country, Philippines, particularly in Maguindanao. " Philippine politician charged for murder " is the most popular news at Yahoo 7 (Australia) News beating the headline on politics regarding Opposition leader Malcolm Turnbull over the Emmision Trading Scheme that is jeopardizing his leadership. A witness claims to have seen Mayor Andal Ampatuan Jr ordering killings and personally firing at convoy of journalists and political rivals. "He was the one who gave the instructions. He was among those ... who killed the victims," Justice Secretary Agnes Devanadera told reporters as she outlined the case against Ampatuan Jnr. How would you react if you read these accounts? According to Devanadera "Even the private parts of the women were shot at. It was horrible. It was not done to just one. It was done practically to all the women. All
