Tone Deaf

2009-03-25T08:32:00.000-07:00

Dissonance so quickly divides this already grotesque development.

A word of truth spoken with so much wrong, as it seems,

to be a tapestry woven suddenly with anger and passive nature,

pride and comparison riddled between the weaving.

The rain falls onto the building in the lot adjacent.

trickling into all the seams rusting the points welded for strength,

causing deterioration and disrepair just as a tree splits a rock face,

or a house gutted by fire left with just the wooden frame and copper wire

that no longer conducts anything,

like a father no longer conducts the symphony of a family of divorce.

The maestro has left the children without time, rhythm or tune.

So wreak havoc you fool. Let it pour, cause you know,

no matter how long you hold back the rain, you only build a storehouse of hail.

Ascribed Beauty

2009-02-11T00:33:00.000-08:00

Inside there's a spark

a hint, a glimpse, a whisper, a foreshadowing

of a fire ready to start

A forest ready to burn

deep inside of this heart of mine

You have ordained my mouth

Filled it with praise and song

Blessed me with voice in heart

and yet...I can never start

What words are left?

What has been left for me?

What's been left for this son of yours?

I want to write such beautiful words for you

something worthy of singing

I desire to write symphonies for you

something deserving of your majesty

But what has not been written about you?

I want to declare something about you that is true and yet untouched

in peoples hearts and minds

something revolutionary that turns people to you

and gives you the glory you deserve

I know this is not what you asked of me

But I wish to give you this because I love you Lord

Psalm 19:1

2009-02-11T00:30:00.001-08:00

When I'm overwhelmed

by this life in my way

I turn my eyes to you

and seek your face

As I'm drowning in this raging sea

You reach down your hand and rescue me

O Lord, how majestic is your name

The heavens declare your glory

The skies proclaim the work of your hands

I delight in your ways Father

Because I know they are upright

I hold on to your word

Because I know you are faithful

Your word does not return void.

You are worthy of praise

And I shall give all the glory you are due.

Praise you Father!

Praise you Jesus!

Praise you Holy Spirit!

Move in power!

Sing Aloud In The Streets

2009-02-11T00:26:00.000-08:00

My tongue is swelling up

For you are filling my mouth with laughter.

My lips are swelling up and about to burst! With shouts of joy!

You have ordained my voice for song and praise

I sing aloud in the streets and burst into laughter fits at even the thought of your love

How wonderful!

How marvelous!

What words are there left for me to praise you with! It's all been said and it's all true!

Yet you have ordained my mouth

So I burst with laughter and praise!

The Lords Lullaby

2009-02-11T00:18:00.000-08:00

Quiet my soul

Find rest and peace.

Be still my heart

Find rest and peace.

Let me soak in your holy flood .

Father allow me to eat with you in your chambers

tell me your thoughts about me.

Sing for me the songs you have written about me.

Sing to my soul a lullaby so that I may find peace and rest.

Shepherd

2009-02-11T00:13:00.000-08:00

You hem me in!

Called me to yourself!

Held me fast as I strayed

and shepherded me all my days.

What is it I truly desire?

What is it that I choose to stray again and again?

Shall.

Not.

Be.

In.

Want!

Hold Me Close To Your Merciful Chest

2009-02-10T23:47:00.000-08:00

Eternal God

Everlasting Father

It is you that I seek

You are my refuge

It is the shelter of your grace

that protects me from the storm

Your everlasting arms enfold me

and hold me close to your merciful chest

You are my stronghold

My Rock

My Fortress

You have been, still are, and continue to be faithful

since even before my existence

Who am I that you remember me?

How majestic is your name

How beautiful you are

Breathe

2009-01-21T22:16:00.001-08:00

Breathe

Just breathe O Great Author

Just breathe

O won't you breathe and give me life

How I long

How I thirst

How I set my heart on your presence

My lungs are so dry

And my stomach is weak

All I need is your word

All I need is that water

All I need is your word

To fill what I cannot

So breathe

Just breathe

And I'll live

And Now I'm Waiting

2008-11-27T23:36:00.000-08:00

My heart dances in my chest for you

You can find joy upon face and my soul reaches for you

My mind thinks about you and dreams about you when I'm asleep and while I'm awake

And I long for the day when I can open my arms to welcome you in

To have your cheek placed upon my chest and have your see for yourself how my heart finds no rest

for you

But more than that,

I would have you stay there and find peace and compassion,

And comfort and joy everlasting

Because...

I love you

I would go to the ends of creation for you

And I can say that I would even go as far as to die for you

And no,

I'm not just saying that

In fact I already did

And now...I'm waiting

Where are you?

Super Great Sermon

Never Give Up

Another One Of Those Nights- Bradley Hathaway

2008-11-11T23:52:00.000-08:00

So weary!
And leary…
And dreary…
Stop this mind from racing all the time
Restful peace, come hither, be mine
It was here earlier, but now it’s long gone and out of sight!
On this restless, sleepless, clogged up left nostril night
I remember sleep
And what a comfort it was
But now all it does is leave me lacking
Because even there these thoughts just won’t stop yacking
So I, I hit the floor and on bruised knees start banging down your door.
Can’t take this anymore
Holy Spirit manifest your being
Comfort this soul,
So that I can start singing of that peaceful feeling that any minute now you’ll be bringing
Grace grows in winter I am told
But that’s not what I want to hear right now, truth be known
It’s you Father that I desire
So put out this unholy fire
And set ablaze me anew
With a peace that comes only from you
Where else can I turn and what else may I do?
Here I am…
Yours!
Here I am…
Yours!
Here I am…
Yours!

"I Am A Manly Man"

2008-10-30T23:52:00.000-07:00

I was talking to Caitlyn the other day as she was listening to one of her favorite poets, Bradley Hathaway, and she told me about a poem he wrote called "I Am A Manly Man" and said it reminded her of me. At first I laughed and was like "Thaaaanks" and she defended herself against this sarcasm with "It's about how he can't grow a beard" and then it became "Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks." We had a good laugh and well it sat with me and I looked it up and listened to it and I'm not going to lie It reminds me of me. I thought it was worth posting. Enjoy.

I don’t want my long hair, pretty green eyes, with ( no! I do not have on mascara. ) eyelashes, skinny figure, undersized t-shirt, hip shake too much when I walk confuse anybody. I am a manly man.

Within this sissy frame, obviously rib laden chest lies a heart that beats to the drum of a native American ritual dancing wildness. It pumps an ever cascading supply of untamedness that a herd of wild mustangs have yet to grasp. If danger lurks about, I will seek it out. If adventure abounds, there I will be found. If a damsel be in distress, I will show her who is best. I am a manly man.

Because I don’t flush, and I leave the lid up.

I drive a 1988 Ford Pick-up truck. Girls don’t break up with me, I break up with them first. ( Except the last time, it didn’t really work out like that… ) I don’t shave the hair on my face ( Because I still can’t grow facial hair yet… ) But when I can, I won’t, because beards are tough.

I fart, burp, and spit when I want, not caring who’s nearby. Disrespect my momma, and I will punch you in the eye. I am a manly man.

Or am I? I tell my guy friends that I love ‘em. And sometimes, sometimes I even hug ‘em. Not because I’m gay, but because I love ‘em. And when I watched Bambi, I cried. And when my Mema gets mad, I still run and hide.

Like David, I wanna be a man after God’s own heart. And I’m not there yet, but I’m past the start. And when people talk, I try to listen. A spirit of compassion, that’s my vision. Surely I am a manly man. I want to be loved and have love and give love.

And not just that romantic kind either. Although I am looking for that beauty.
Not helpless, but wants to be rescued. The damsel in distress, man, woman, myth, true. I will fight for her, climb the highest tower for her, love her, share with her, delight in her, be her warrior, her protector.

She will be my crown and I will be hers. My masculinity will be passed down and affirmed to my sons. And each of my daughters will know they are lovely, and deserving of authentic romance.

Society tells me all day long that I’ve defined manhood completely wrong. But you ask any honest man, and he will agree. You ask any honest woman, and she too will see, that I am a manly man.

Through The Sword I Was Born

2008-10-29T11:21:00.000-07:00

Oh my God hold me fast this time

I fear I'm beginning to fall again

And now I'm looking (but never seeing)

For a Baal the shape of

the hole in my heart

Ever fitting

Never filling

Always searching

Never finding

What was in front of me

The time is now

So grab a hold of this key

And unlock this gate

Walk the path

Oh so narrow

To the tree on which my heart

Was hung and torn

Three nails and a crown

held it there through the dark of day

and through the Sword I was born

Second Blessing

2008-10-28T12:43:00.000-07:00

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about second blessing. I've been having conflicting thoughts about whether it's something I'm going to just receive, or if I'm supposed to be asking for it, or the scary thought of did I already receive it and just not know it.

When Commissioner Francis was speaking she touched on how she had been asking for it and bee told to wait and wait and wait. Until finally she went to the mercy seat and received it. She said she didn't have any noticeable change right away but the next morning when she awoke (which is funny because often in scripture when there is a positive change it normally begins with early in the morning) and knew she had been filled with the Holy Spirit.

I really hope I'm yet to receive cause I'm very excited about it. Pray for me that I would receive wisdom and revelation on the matter.

Blessings.

1 Peter 4 (The Message)

2008-10-12T14:37:00.000-07:00

1-2Since Jesus went through everything you're going through and more, learn to think like him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way. Then you'll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want.

3-5You've already put in your time in that God-ignorant way of life, partying night after night, a drunken and profligate life. Now it's time to be done with it for good. Of course, your old friends don't understand why you don't join in with the old gang anymore. But you don't have to give an account to them. They're the ones who will be called on the carpet—and before God himself.

6Listen to the Message. It was preached to those believers who are now dead, and yet even though they died (just as all people must), they will still get in on the life that God has given in Jesus.

7-11Everything in the world is about to be wrapped up, so take nothing for granted. Stay wide-awake in prayer. Most of all, love each other as if your life depended on it. Love makes up for practically anything. Be quick to give a meal to the hungry, a bed to the homeless—cheerfully. Be generous with the different things God gave you, passing them around so all get in on it: if words, let it be God's words; if help, let it be God's hearty help. That way, God's bright presence will be evident in everything through Jesus, and he'll get all the credit as the One mighty in everything—encores to the end of time. Oh, yes!

12-13Friends, when life gets really difficult, don't jump to the conclusion that God isn't on the job. Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner.

14-16If you're abused because of Christ, count yourself fortunate. It's the Spirit of God and his glory in you that brought you to the notice of others. If they're on you because you broke the law or disturbed the peace, that's a different matter. But if it's because you're a Christian, don't give it a second thought. Be proud of the distinguished status reflected in that name!

17-19It's judgment time for God's own family. We're first in line. If it starts with us, think what it's going to be like for those who refuse God's Message!

If good people barely make it,
What's in store for the bad?
So if you find life difficult because you're doing what God said, take it in stride. Trust him. He knows what he's doing, and he'll keep on doing it.

I am going to begin a fast quite soon so I would much appreciate support through prayer.

Grace.

Abortion Of The Mind

2008-10-09T14:29:00.000-07:00

Kill Sin While It's Pregnant

Outward sin is only the manifestation of an inward oppression. Sin is developed within your heart and within your mind, and your mind is subject to whatever your eyes attach themselves to. Simply put, your mind goes where your eyes go, and your body goes where you mind goes. So if you'll let me I'm going to attempt to relate sin and abortion.

Sin is conceived much like a child. It begins small and you at first don't even acknowledge it's existence. But it slowly grows and develops and the more you stay within the sin the more you nurture it and allow it to grow. And over time it becomes this bump that everyone can clearly see. Eventually if you live in this continual sin you will birth this child and unfortunately will become attached to it (addictive pattern of continual sin) and feel the burden and weight of this new manifestation.

So for once abortion is a positive solution. You need to stop sin at the root where it is conceived and pass the burden over to God. Through taking your thoughts captive and confession to God you can cleanse yourself of the filth that separates you from the love of the Father. Also be encouraged to confess to a brother or sister in Christ so you can pray off this burden and be in support for one another.

The covenant between you and the Father is eternal and it was fulfilled through the death of Christ who now sits at the right hand of the Lord and intercedes for your sake. So don't feel held back when confessing and passing the burden because He is the only one who could ever take it in the first place.

Holiness Is Abstinence. So be encouraged seek the Lord and be born again.

Grace.

Let It Begin

2008-09-06T01:00:00.001-07:00

Well this is it. I move out tomorrow and begin my life in Vancouver as a Conqueror for Christ. Pray for me that I won't lose the joy of the lord while I am in such a sad environment.

Blessings.

Slowing Down

2008-08-29T21:58:00.000-07:00

So Evangeline and I were talking and she and I decided it's time I took a minute to slow down and listen to God. So I'm writing down the Questions And The Answers so you can be included and encouraged to do the same. Feel free to use these questions, I didn't come up with them so go wild...

What's grieving you these days? Why?

That the shortage of rice in the world is suddenly a big deal.

There's enough food to feed the world and you've known that for a long time give my people more than rice.

What's exciting you these days? Why?

The youth are catching on to what I'm saying at a young age all over the world.

They are going to make great changes in the world you see.

What do you like about me? Why?

Your passion and excitement for getting the people that

surround you excited and passionate for me. You inspire them to go deeper.

What do you see when you look at me?

A mighty warrior, in a timid demeanor

When was the last time you wept over me? Why?

The night when 8 boys turned to me because

you showed them who I am. I am proud of you my son.

When was the last time you laughed over me?

The fashion show at camp.

If you could meet me anywhere face-to-face, where would it be?

The fort in the Ark.

If my heart is your home, what does that home look like?

An underground tunnel, with candles for light.

There are many corridors and dark hallways but they all lead to the ocean.

If you could play a game with me, what would it be? Why?

Gallon Challenge, "CIRCLE BANG!"

A Joy Once Forgotten

2008-07-09T23:20:00.000-07:00

In reference to July 8th/08

"Monday's are there to make Tuesday better..."

-Andy West

So on Tuesday afternoon during debriefing of VBS, we talked about how amazing the day went. It was much smoother and the kids responded way better, it was organized but we still had wiggle room to fit everything in without feeling rushed. It was the best VBS day I have ever experienced. I started out the day with a soccer camp and I got to know the kids a lot better through that and then we went inside and I played the character of "Crush". A surfing instructor that says "dude!" a lot and it was great. I got to goof around and act silly and come up with things for the kids to do and then we went right into some great songs from camp which the kids love. After I got changed out of my costume I played guitar for the worship songs which was super fun! And then from there we split into groups and 3 times that day I got to hang out with different age groups and teach them about JESUS which is a feeling you can't describe. It's the most energetic and joyful feeling when you have their attention and are telling them just how amazing he is.

I am so glad that God really put it on my heart to take on bible this year because I don't think I would be enjoying myself as much if I were a group leader. He really has taken some unwelcome feelings and turned them into something great. I thank the Lord for his Joy and Peace that I am feeling now which I haven't for a long time.

Monday//June//16th//08

2008-06-16T22:57:00.000-07:00

So it has been a really long time since my last blog and in all honesty it's because I lack the self discipline to sit down and write (that is so pathetic, I hate it).

This is going to be a different blog than usual just because it's late, i'm sick, my allergies are going nuts, and I haven't slept very well or much lately, so this is just going to be a sum up of my life lately.

So I had a wizard time in xlr8 and I love that community so much and I look forward to my future with them. During that weekend Jevans informed me that I am invited to TWC and so my next year will be devoted there and I'm really excited about that. I don't know how I'll handle it but God spoke to me through Tom Freeman and I was instructed to Never Loose Joy. So that'll be my focus going in and this blog will help me to remember it. I also have now be enrolled as a senior soldier of the Salvation Army and I'm humbled to be serving God in that way. Pray that he will guide me and never let me out of his hand.

So ya that's my life spiritually so far. In the secular world I am pleased to inform you all that tomorrow will officially be my last full day of school and then I will have one exam the day after and that is the end for me. I don't know how I feel about it to be honest...I'm in a way just excepting it.

So friday I will be heading up to camp with Ethan and I plan on being in a constant state of bliss from that point on until the summer ends.

In the business world I am making some big steps with the shirt business and I am soon to speak with Ethan and then we will be globally available through a website called DistrictLines.com

So ya that's my life in a nutshell.

Blessings.

Take These Lips

2008-04-09T00:22:00.000-07:00

Take these lips and free this tongue

Mute no more I will empty these lungs

We will sing to you a new song O Lord

Silent no more we will sing as One

Raise the banner on a bare hilltop

Blast the trumpets! Shake the ground

Shout aloud children of Zion!

For He has come down!

We will cry out to you

Until the sound becomes hoarse

The joy of the Lord replaces remorse

Society Or Sanctity

"We have lost sight... of the relationship... and we've made church a practice instead of a relationship, when out of this relationship comes power to change... to operate in miracles and to operate in wonders... and everyone in this building tonight is called to demonstrate heaven on earth!"

-Leeland Mooring

We are a people blessed with the freedom to do as we wish and practice what we believe without any real danger. I pity us because of this choice, because we have chosen to turn away from God and we've made him something we do when it's convenient. I also pity pastors, teachers, mentors, and leaders because they have the difficult job of trying to stir up hearts into a movement each week, and it only gets harder as time goes on. There really is only this choice that they can leave you with.

Disciple

Do-gooder

I believe that we have stopped striving for holiness in this generation because we have forgotten the fear of the Lord. He created us and he has the power to take away our lives at any second that he wills it. To fear the Lord is wisdom and life. It says it right in the scriptures Google it! There are rewards to righteousness and we should be watching our steps because God is always watching and he knows what we are capable of in comparison to what were actually doing.

I'm so sick of living the life of a do-gooder. I'm so tired of living a half life between society and sanctity. I don't want to put holiness as a side project, I don't want to put education before salvation. I want to live as a full time disciple of Christ. I want to walk in holiness, breath righteousness, speak in honesty and conviction. I want to be filled with zealousness and pour it over others.

God has given us all gifts and we have the ability to do miraculous things. But we are not concentrated enough on God or listening enough to hear what he has to say. When we open ourselves up to a relationship with God he moves in wonders and miracles and we grow closer to him. But the thing is that this shouldn't be a choice because as soon as you can comprehend that Jesus died for you and that you can now freely speak to God directly that he calls upon us to demonstrate heaven on earth!

So make a choice.

Fight! Fight. Fight?

2008-04-03T13:57:00.000-07:00

"If when slaves find freedom, and tradesmen make fortunes, and kindred, or friends or neighbours are delivered from some threatened calamity, it is allowable to go mad with joy and to express it by hiring music, and beating drums, and letting off fireworks, and shouting till hoarse, and everybody says that is all right, then by the same rule, if you please, and whether please or no, we are the slaves who now have our freedom, the people who have made our fortune, we are the men who have seen our kindred and friends and neighbours saved from damnation; and therefore, we have a right to be merry!"

-General William Booth

Wake Up! How is it that we find ourselves so asleep? Our eyes are so focused on the problems of society and how we should be attacking them that we forget to rejoice of the miracles of everyday! As a Salvationist I find it disturbing that we have lost sight of the Joy of Salvation for the lost!

We started out with a great idea! Head first with the proclomation of War! Fighting for God full strength and hitting Satan hard with relentless blows! But we have calloused ourselves into Soldiers that fight because that was merely the command we were given. Forgotten is our true mission.

I do not claim this as truth for all Salvationists but in all honesty, as a perceptive young disciple of Christ I desire something more and I don't feel support from my corps, in fact I feel resistance. We have become to comfortable with where we are and we need to be disturbed.

You need to ask yourself (and ask God) if you fight out of love for Jesus? Out of heartbreak for the lost? For the coming kingdom? or do you fight out of a feeling of duty? Responsibility? or even because that was your up bringing?

Just because your heart is not in the right place does not mean you shouldn't stop fighting. You have the spirit of God in you and he will use you regardless but you need a reality check. Maybe step back for a while, straighten yourself out, rest, and then rejoin the fight. But make sure that you are 100% honest with yourself and be alert and aware to what God is telling you.

Wait on God. Be Still. Listen. Let God Talk To You.

Remind yourself that God is a playful God. He rejoices when his son or daughter has turned back to him and come home. His heart leaps when we talk to him. He is filled joy when we listen to Him and say we love Him. He loves us more than we can comprehend, and we need to remember that and tap into the Joy of our Father!

When you worship really concentrate on connecting yourself with the heart of Christ. Be refilled, renewed, refreshed by his spirit so you can rejoin the fight at full strength.

What Is Love?

2008-03-02T17:39:00.000-08:00

God has been beating me over the head, so to speak, with the fact that I need to put my faith in him and trust that he will provide for me. The things I'm looking for will never last or ever be found at all. Things like love can never last because we are always looking for it in the wrong places. Things like lust cloud our judgment and make us feel as though that's what love is supposed to feel like. So what is love? How do you even begin explain the concept of love? And how do you find it?

I don't know how. But what I did was ask myself how can I truly love someone if I don't even know what love is? The only way to know love is to be loved. And God loved us first so I went to scripture.   

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails..." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8  

To put this into context, I am going to compare the way I have loved people to what the bible says I should be doing.

-When it comes to love I am often impatient.  

- I have found that when it comes to kindness, I have been lacking. My words are definitely a weapon and I am practicing on keeping my thoughts captive and holding my tongue.  

- I envy the things my friends have that I do not.

 - I have not boasted or have worn love with pride. If anything I'm shy and embarrassed about it.  

- Without a doubt I have been rude. The things I have done, thought about, and said have been mean and degrading and I apologize to anyone I've hurt.  

*- This is the biggest problem I face. Love for me has always been self-seeking. "How can it benefit me?" Not once have I thought about others when facing a relationship.

- As far as easily angered I would I'm more frustrated than angry.  

- Keeping record of wrongs. Also a huge problem, I have trouble letting things go (thankfully I'm working on it). I can remember things done to me and still get upset about it. It is not a good thing.   

The Solution 

 I am going to make an exchange. All of my heart for all of His glory. But for this to happen, for Him to fill me up to the point of overflowing, I have to get rid of all the things in my life that are bringing me down.  

"How can you fill a glass up with water if its already half full of orange juice?"- Michael Collins 

 From this point I am going to make a conscious effort to stay away from the things that aren't helping me get closer to God so that I can know His love. I'm going to put my faith in Him and trust that he will find love for me. If he knows me better than I know myself than it will be easy for Him to find love for me and I will be able to recognize it because I know what love is because I know his love for me.

As of late I have been battling the temptation of pornography more and more. For a time it was pretty bad, but I have definitely been harsh convicted to stop. How can I even possibly come to fighting against sex trafficking if I fuel it in my secret shame?

Thankfully God gave me a way out. He managed to direct me to this website called www.xxxchurch.com where the people running this site are all dedicated to stopping the pornography trade. They go to porn shows and conventions and hand out bibles and set up booths and just straight up evangelize face to face with people. I think that what they're doing is really cool because it's fighting against human trafficking in a different way. By stopping people from their porn addiction it eradicates all the desires to get caught up in buying and selling people. This is not what I wanted to talk about though.

So as I was browsing this website I came across a program called X3 Watch. X3 Watch recognizes and records on your computer every porn site you have visited within the week, 2 weeks, or 3 weeks and then sends that information to your accountability partners email address. What a great way to keep accountable!

After downloading this program I went to my church and asked to speak with all the the guys in my class after listening prayer, and I told them all about this program and that it's a great way to hold me accountable as well as them if they have an addiction too without feeling embarrassed because as a body of christ if one of us is suffering we all need to take hold of what's going on and build each other up. And to my surprise I know have 8 or 9 guys holding me accountable as well as me being there for them, and even more of a surprise....they are actually excited about it!

I can't even describe how impressed I am with the guys in my younger aged friends group at my church. They are getting a great head start on hearing God's voice and being there for one another as a body of Christ. They don't even realize how great of friends they are yet or how much stronger there relationships will be after this. I am so excited for the future. Youth inspired youth! How freaking rad!

The End Of The Age

2008-01-14T23:07:00.000-08:00

My mission from my mentor Michael Collins this week was to go out and tell three people about the coming of the kingdom. People who don't know about Jesus.

It's actually not as easy as it seems to just go out and simply tell people about the end of what we know and the coming of something new.

There is something greater awaiting. This age is coming to an end and there is no denying it. There is going to be a war like no other. A war in the physical and spiritual side of things. In the physical side there is going to be blood spilt and nuclear missiles devastating families, towns, cities, regions, countries; It goes on and on. No one knows the time at which point this will happen not even the angels in heaven. But when all this happens Jesus is going to return to us at a time when we don't expect and he shall return in such amazing power that all nations will know that he is King and that God alone is Judge. But this isn't going to stop the fighting, when Jesus returns man and his army will try to fight against him physically. And when all this is finished God will come to us and reign on his throne over all peoples and nations will stream to him.

This makes our job very important. We need to fight for Justice, Truth, Hope, Love, Peace, and Salvation for the lost souls in this world. The kingdom is coming for them, the one who loves them is coming for them and we need to proclaim this to everyone because there is coming a time of Peace. There will be a new heaven and a new earth and there will be love stronger than you can possibly imagine.

We need to FIGHT!! For Every Soul!! As Long As There Is Darkness In The World We Need To Be Out Searching Equipped With The Light Of The World To Find And Save The Lost!!!

Juno

2008-01-03T23:27:00.000-08:00

So tonight I went to see the movie Juno and I loved it. A great movie all around easily one of my favourites of all time. Witty, Funny, Smart, Sad, Happy, Awkward at times, and an excellent message in the end. Love Never Fails. No matter how things look there's always a way to work things out if you Truly love someone. No one ever said that love is easy and in no way am I saying that I understand love and can give advice. But there is also a difference between being IN love and loving someone. If you want to understand what love is just read 1 Corinthians 13 and let the One who loved us first unconditionally teach you and just ask the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart about love.

Tabloids

Today as I was in the grocery store I noticed a tabloid on the shelf with a picture of a statue of Jesus Christ and the caption said:

2008 Is the Final Year

the End is Coming

Curious. I wondered to myself, "I wonder who this supposed prophet is who proclaims this message of the end?"

Mark 13 vs 32 "No one knows about the day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be Alert! You do not know when that time will come."

The person that has proclaimed this message sends out false messages of the end of the final age of man. He is not wrong of the message but it IS really misinterpreted. The TRUTH is that the end is coming and nation will rise against nation but that does not signify the end. The end of the age is nearing but there is a new kingdom rising. A kingdom of new youth. A kingdom of Peace and Justice and Love. There will be one Judge, one Ruler, one Kingdom, and only one Worthy of All Love and Praise. And there is but One Truth.

He Came. He Died. He Rose. He's Coming Back
