What Are You building You're Life On?

    There are so many distractions in life, some don't even realize the distractions when they see them.  Even something as harmless as reading a book can become a distraction if you put it before God and his Word.  Of course there are other distractions than books that can prove far more dangerous sex,drugs,alcohol etc.  Now as Christians we shouldn't put anything (or anybody) in our life before God.  That is why it is of the utmost importance to spend time in God's Word and prayer.  The bible talks about building a house either on the sand or on the rock.  Mat 7:24-27 

   24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:  

   25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.  

   ²⁶And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:  

   ²⁷ And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.  

   So in verse 24 and 25 Jesus is saying that if you build your house (life) upon a rock (the bible) when hard times come you will be able to withstand them because of you're strengthened relationship with Jesus through the bible.  Now in verse 26 and 27 Jesus is saying the exact opposite.  If you build your house (life) on the sand (the world or worldly possessions) then when hard times come you're going to come apart.  Make sure there is nothing in you're life that comes before God.  Because God wants to have a relationship with you and if you're distracted that relationship is going to unravel.        

What Music is Good Music?

    What music is good music?  Should I be listening to secular music, or christian music?  Is this band christian, they say they are but I never hear about God, or Jesus in they're songs?  What genre is okay?  Rap, metal, rock, pop, light rock, or should I stick to churchy hymns?

    The answer is, if it's okay between you and God then fine.  If it doesn't get in the way of you're relationship with God then okay.  And if you think that God has a problem with it, if you feel uncomfortable listening to it then get rid of it!  Read your bible talk, or talk to God about it.  You could even ask a friend what they're opinion is. 

    Ultimately it's between you and God, but if you want some advice I'll give you some.  I think you should be careful with rock music, but I do enjoy certain songs in that genre (although I don't like the bands/artists altogether.)  I don't think think you can go wrong with a little christian rap.  I really enjoy Lecrae and Trip Lee just take a look at their testimony and their ministry.  As for hymns well of all the hymns I know I can't think of anything wrong with them.  I think that they are very glorifying to God, and just beautiful and true altogether.  Now for secular music I just try to be careful.  I don't think that any of that is glorifying to God, but I don't think that it's all bad.  There are some good secular country songs, rock songs etc.
 
    So it's all between you and God.  Just don't let it become your life.

Throw the World Away

PHILIPPIANS 3:7-9  But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.  8Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish that I may gain Christ 9  and be found in him, not having my own righteousness which is from God by faith.  

  Think about it, "But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ."  What is Paul saying here? He's saying that the thing's he has gained in this world he has thrown away for Christ.  He has taken every worldly thing he has gained in his life and has thrown it away so he can follow Christ!  That's what we need to do.  We need to be willing to get rid of everything in our life so we can follow Jesus.  I am not saying get off your computer and round up everything you own throw it away and wait and for God to say do this or do that.  I am saying you should be willing to do anything for God if god says "sell your stuff and do this" do it.  If God says witness to your neighbor do it.  You need to be able to obey God, to make him first in your life.

   8Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish that I may gain Christ.  9And be found in him, not having my own righteousness which is from God by faith.  In the first verse I think he's  saying that the knowledge of Christ is better and more valuable than any worldly possession.  So again put God before everything in your life.  And in the second verse he's saying that he doesn't want his own righteousness, he wants the righteousness of God.  We should all seek to be Godly and righteous in God's sight not our own. 

      

This is War - Paul Washer

Proverbs Chapter 15 - 4

1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

PROVERBS Chapter 13

PROVERBS Chapter 13 ~

1.A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

2.A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors

shall eat violence.

3.He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

4.The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

5.A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

6.Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner

7.There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.

April Fools

Ok one of the funnest days of the year are here!!!! XD  It's funny because it's the only day of the year where you can be naughty and get away with it!!!!  Here is a video I took.

Sorry for that little splice I'm not sure what happened!?!?!?!?!

An Encouragment

 In Isaiah chapter 59 it says "Behold the Lords hand is not shortened that  it cannot save neither his ear heavy that it cannot hear.  But your iniquities have separated between you and your God and your sins have hid his face from you that he will not hear".  But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.  Doesn't that sound pretty dark?  Well that depends on how you see it.  I see it as an encouragement because at the beginning it says "Behold the Lords hand is not shortened that  it cannot save" did you catch that?  No matter how sinful we are he can still save us!  And after that it says "neither his ear heavy that it cannot hear" so he will always hear our prayers now that is awesome!

My Thoughts On Prayer

                           When I pray it's not just a religous rhyme I say before eating and
                           sleeping.

                           When I pray I am not doing it for show.

                           When I pray I am not doing it to make me feel better about myself.

                           Prayer is not something that you find in 4 year olds little golden
                           book's.

                          When I pray I am having a talk with God.

                          When I pray I am asking God to help me.

                          When I pray I am praising God.

                          When I pray I am praying for others including my enemies.

                          Prayer is a holy talk with God.

You know these days a lot pastors just preach love love love love.  Ya know what I think BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!!  God is not just love!  But don't get me wrong God love's us.  In fact God love's us enough to send his son Jesus to die for us.  So yes he loves us but that's not all it is.  God also wants us to fear him and you can't just say that your going to heaven because he's a God of love.  He's also a jealous God who wants you to trust him!  To believe him!  To do what he tells you to do and nothing else!  To read the Bible and believe every single word of it! 


You know being a Christan's a lot more than going to church every week.  Being a Christain is a lot more than just believing God even the DEVILS know there's a God!!!  Being a Christan is trusting God, believing God, obeying God, And doing what ever God tells you to do!  Being a Christan is surrendering your entire life to to Jesus Christ Gods son!!! 


So think about this don't just ignore this because this is the most important decision you will ever make to follow God or to not follow God.

The Prayer that Damns Many to Hell

A great video and a very truthfull one too! It's the sinners prayer.

Quiz Answer

So here is the answer to the last quiz.

The Egyptian pyramids are ancient pyramid-shaped masonry structures located in Egypt.


There are 138 pyramids discovered in Egypt as of 2008.  Most were built as tombs for the country's Pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods.

The earliest known Egyptian pyramids are found at Saqqara, northwest of Memphis. The earliest among these is the Pyramid of Djoser constructed 2630 BCE–2611 BCE which was built during the third dynasty. This pyramid and its surrounding complex were designed by the architect Imhotep, and are generally considered to be the world's oldest monumental structures constructed of dressed masonry.

The most famous Egyptian pyramids are those found at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Several of the Giza pyramids are counted among the largest structures ever built.

The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is the largest Egyptian pyramid. It is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence

The Shocking Youth Message (Paul Washer)

I love this sermon and I am so glad that I could find it on youtube!! It is a MUST WATCH!

Isaiah Chapter 59

I realy like this chapter so I just thought I would post it.  Isaiah chapter 59.

1¶ Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

2But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

3For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

4None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

5They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

6Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hand.

7Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.

8The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

9¶ Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darknes

10We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.

11We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.

12For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know the.
13In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood

14And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
15Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

16¶ And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.

17For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.

18According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.

19So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

20And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

21As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

I AM STILL HERE!!!!!!

I just wanted everyone who reads my blog to know that I have not stopped posting on my blog.  I have just been busy with school and such.  Oh and to anyone reading this if you have any ideas on something I can post PLEASE tell me!!  So that is all the blog is alive!

Strange Testimony

I was at a friends house last night and after eating chili with ice cream for desert I had the worst............ umm...how do I say this I had the worst upset stomach I have ever had!  Well actually i've had this before so while in the bathroom I thought "i've had this before it is so horrible my stomach feels soooo BAD I have to get rid of this"! 
So I thought "well maybe I could ask God to relieve me of this upset stomach".
Then I thought "no why would God want to help my stomach'?
  Then I thought "well in the bible it says "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you"Lu 11:9.

Then I rememberd that in the kitchen about 1 or 2 days ago I heard mom listening to Michael Pearl.  And he said that there was this man who got a hold of his Grandmas bible and to the side of a lot of bible verse there was a mark that said TP and he couldn't figure it out.  So he brought it to his Grandmas pastor and asked "what does this TP mean"?  And he said "your Grandma put that to the side of a lot of bible verses it means "tried and proved" she put that to the side of every bible verse that she tried and proved."  Well I am going to try and prove Luke 11:9!  So I prayed to God and asked him to relieve me of my upset stomach and abou 10 secents later it quit!  So prase God!
