Music, Movies, Books, etc.

I just was wondering if anyone struggle with this. I know that most of this music has subject matter that is not good. Also, when it comes to movies, I am offended by the use of the "f" word and the using of the…

THE GLORY OF THE LORD

While reading 2 Chronicles, chapters 6-15 today, one particular verse jumped out at me. It was 2 Chronicles 7:1 "When Solomon finished praying, fire descended from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple."

I read that and paused for just a moment picturing what happened in my mind. I remember thinking..."WOW!" I mean, wouldn't you have wanted to see that! Here you are praying...and then suddenly the fire descends from…

HAS JESUS REALLY CHANGED YOUR LIFE?

Over the last year or so I have been reading some books that have had a huge impact on my walk with Christ. They have caused me to rethink my commitment to Jesus, what it means to be a Christian, how to live out the Christian faith…what a life totally surrendered to Jesus might look like, and a host of other questions.

Some of these books have been: “Crazy Love” by Francis Chan; “Radical” by David Platt; “Not A Fan” by Kyle…

We really enjoy it. That is amazing the think about the lost in CA and all over US. I am focused on China. I have an org. that attempts to focus efforts to unreached people groups in general but specifically focused on Tibetans in China. I produce a prayer calendar to increase the prayer focus on these groups.
