I have often wondered about the fear and trembling part. At times we hear so much about God's love and forget that he is the great judge who has the capability to destroy everything! Thank you so much for your obedience, listening is always thought provoking and leads me into indepth Bible Study.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3490678398839226961.post-54192879787235224762009-01-20T10:20:00.000-05:002009-01-20T10:20:00.000-05:00Good post bro-ham!

Something I've...Our entertainment choices... mmm... Something I've wrestled with. Especially in light of this blog, i'm provoked to RE-re-consider my selection of entertainment with respect to its ability or likelihood to direct my affections toward Jesus. Cats often cite our freedom in Christ when defending against assertions that might suggest a certain type of worldly exposure is perhaps questionable. Another popular response I hear is "It doesn't affect me" or "your being legalistic". But I wrestle with these arguments (although admittedly, my decisions would seem to support them more often than not). This mindset seems to lack prudence, especially in light of our overwhelming tendency to migrate toward sin. And I'm not advocating that we live in a tightly secured vacuum from all that is in the world either. For instance there is much value in being students of the culture and context God has placed us in. But in light of our tendency to be easily satisfied with trivial things, and create idols (especially with our spare time) and over-indulge in this world of instant gratification, it would seem wise to keep a short lease on our casual entertainment choices. <BR/>Thoughts anyone?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3490678398839226961.post-71341073499481451952008-12-29T13:16:00.000-05:002008-12-29T13:16:00.000-05:00WORD!1) I thank God for you - for directing my att...WORD!<BR/><BR/>1) I thank God for you - for directing my attention to Him and helping create, in me, new affections for Him.<BR/><BR/>2) I'm not sure you realize how mightily God is using you to do this (1) in me but - Man - I truly thank The Sovereign Lord of Grace for your ministry shai...

Especially pertinent this time of year. <BR/><BR/>I also want to thank you and to thank God for the work that he is doing through you and your music. A friend just introduced me to your music the other day, and I have been extremely blessed by it. I feel that God is sparking a New Reformation through you and others like you with your gloriously prophetic music. Keep up the wonderful work, and I will continue to pray for you and for the work that God is doing.

No "church" building?!?!), on a hot August Sunday morning (90+ at 10 AM), there was no air conditioning, people had their hands raised and they were singing... loudly! Then, it came time for the sermon... God used C.J. in a very powerful way that day.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing this brother.samuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321283615472742550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3490678398839226961.post-71839703032420274322008-12-23T17:44:00.000-05:002008-12-23T17:44:00.000-05:00This is a great meditation bro...i'm going to use ...This is a great meditation bro...i'm going to use it for my Christmas morning family devotion time. <BR/><BR/>Hope you're doing well...hit me up.<BR/><BR/>QAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3490678398839226961.post-13435485868800191912008-12-22T23:22:00.000-05:002008-12-22T23:22:00.000-05:00thanks so much for this...i've been known to be a ...thanks so much for this...<BR/>i've been known to be a bit of a 'scrooge' about this time of year esp. toward the vain giddy traditions. not to mention fighting through airports to get home across thousands of miles. i find myself looking for anything amid all the noise that points me to the Cross. <BR/><BR/>gosh...i have been missing out on Mahaney...<BR/>i am so reminded...'WHAT A SAVIOR!'msshaylajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732750540267327681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3490678398839226961.post-8372429603702850272008-12-22T11:58:00.000-05:002008-12-22T11:58:00.000-05:00Great article Shai, truly every good and perfect g...Great article Shai, truly every good and perfect gift comes from above.<BR/><BR/>However I've always wondered why people keep wanting to communicate with the devil.<BR/><BR/>To some it seems like they have to "take back" what the devil stole as if the devil was our source or as if he can give anything to us that is actually good.<BR/><BR/>This has caused me to see the God of the Bible much differently.Jhay Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12968188323825545684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3490678398839226961.post-17527528122760194812008-12-21T00:08:00.000-05:002008-12-21T00:08:00.000-05:00shai,Great reminder, bro.
