Noah's Ark - Schagen, Netherlands

Here is a video clip of one man's endeavor to share his faith with those in his homeland, in Schagen, Netherlands.  Since May of 2005 he has been building his recreation. There are many links on-line that give you this story but these were some of the ones I liked.

Does God Exist?

This was a TV ad for the Government of the Republic of Macedonia to promote education. It is surprising that a government published this as you would think it was created by a church or religious organization.

It has been stated that the events depicted in the video actually did not happen yet many argue it did. Either way, the questions raised are valid no matter who quoted them but credit is given to Albert Einstein.  Either way, the concept and message in the video are too powerful not to consider!

You will need to read the captions as this is filmed with the actors speaking in German and is quite moving.  I love the line that darkness is in reality the absence of light.  Jesus likens himself unto the light, the light of the world.  We become dark with the absence of His presence.  Just love this whole clip!

The More I Seek You - CFNI

Kari Jobe leads the song The More I Seek You at Christ for the Nations in Dallas, Texas.  This is a powerful worship song where you will find yourself raptured into the presence of the Lord.  If you are in need of a touch from the Prince of Peace, this is the song to whisk you off your feet into the presence of the King.

I know we are to give out of the overflow of our heart. We need our cups filled in order to give out.  We are to share what have.  This song will not only fill your cup, but it will overflow into your saucer.  Then you will be fully saturated in His presence, refreshed and renewed and ready to be a blessing as He has called us to be.

FIREPROOF - Teaser

Earlier this year a GREAT movie came out called FIREPROOF starring Kirk Cameron.  This is one of those movies you need to have in your video collection!  I can't wait until it comes out to buy my copy and I will be the first in line.

If you want to be married, have plans to get married, are married, have been married or know someone who falls into ANY of these categories, this is a must see movie.  It will help build your ideas about marriage, strengthen you current marriage and possibly even save a failing marriage.  I pray ALL your marriages are fireproof.

Partial Birth Abortion

I am amazed at how many people, including Christians, who don't know or don't want to know the details that are involved in what doctor's are calling the partial birth abortion procedure. This is a very tasteful demonstration of a doctor showing the process of this procedure using a doll and a curtain set-up. It is very discrete and informative. I post this link because people need to understand how barbaric this procedure is in order to speak against this atrocity. There is NO reason we are conducting such an evil to a living child. We hear all about the rights of the mother, but I want to know why the innocent child in the procedure has no rights. Again, this procedure must be stopped and our current president was the only congressman to vote for the legislation to kill a child who was born alive after a botched abortion. This is just sickening in the least and tragic that we in this culture are allowing this to continue under the guise of a medical procedure.

I Am Happy - Nick Vujicic's

This is SO convicting.  I grew up hearing my mother repeating the old Jewish Proverb: "I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes -- until I met a man who had no feet."  My sister-in-law used to say, "Lord, How Can We Be Sad."  These are the sayings that come into my head as I watch this clip.  The day I am writing this blog I was struggling with "life" and then I stumbled across this clip.

Nick Vujicic has an incredible outlook on life and this is admirable when you watch the video and see all the things that he has had to deal with in life.  He is so full of living even though to look at his situation you could easily think he would think he would have no purpose, but this is SO far from the truth.

After watching this video you may want to read more about Nick.  I found this link that also has many photographs of him playing sports, studying, writing and the answers to some questions you may have.

God has given us a choice.  May we all CHOOSE to be happy!

Amazing Grace - Wintley Phipps

Solo of Amazing Grace sung by Wintley Phipps at the Inaugural Prayer Service.  He started singing the song by humming the first verse because that is what the Negro Spiritualists would do.  They would begin a song by humming.  His voice is INCREDIBLE.  It billows.  So round.  So full.  Simple beautiful.  The only down-side of this performance was the occasion for which he was singing.  I just simply could listen to him all day.  Creamy voice in such low tones.  Love it.

Amazing Grace - the Black Keys

Wintley Phipps is an incredible singer and featured soloist who shares some really inspirational information during this clip while doing a concert. The pentatonic scale is made up of only the black keys. The African slaves were known for singin in this scale chord progression. All of the black spirituals had this same melodic tone. Try it, go play the black keys on a piano and you will hear many old spirituals sung in that key. He goes on to share the orientation of the song, Amazing Grace. See the writer of the lyrics to the song Amazing Grace was John Newton and he was a slave ship captain before he came to Christ. He heard the melody to this most famous spiritual while taking peole captive as they sang in captivity in the bowels of the ship. Later in life, John Newton, penned the words to Amazing Grace to this African song he had heard years before. If you haven't seen the movie, Amazing Grace...I highly recommend it!

Fence Riders - Jimmy Needham

This a good song and I totally agree.  Sometimes people just don't get it. They don't understand where I am at but Jimmy Needham got it right in Fence Riders.  Good stuff.

Busyness

This video is an interesting look at our life of busyness from the prospective of the demons of hell and their strategy to keep us off track.  After listening to this video and reading the plan, it should make you stop and think about keeping the main thing the main thing.
