Who Am I by Casting Crowns - A song about You and I

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 1 Corinthians 5:17   Casting Crowns is one of my favorite Christian Band.  This band is a Grammy Award and Dove Award winning Contemporary Christian/Christian Rock band. They started in 1999 by youth pastor Mark Hall at First Baptist Church in Downtown Daytona Beach, Florida. Mark Hall is the lead vocalist of Casting Crowns. This song, Who Am I ,  really tells a story about you and me relating to our relationship with  God,  our Father Almighty. The lyrics are penned in a layman's perspective and was recorded beautifully to emphasize nuggets of important biblical teachings and values.

God's Rescue Plan

"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

Mary Did You Know? - Kenny Rogers & Wynonna Judd

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.

Here I Am to Worship

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

Our God is Greater, Our God is Healer!

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
