Video Games?

Almost everyone has a... hobby that sometimes gets in the way of their relationship with GOD. For me, I guess you could say it would be video games. I usually keep video games down as just a hobby but sometimes they get a little too high- Over GOD. I know I have to keep GOD first in my life, but sometimes it gets very hard. There are a lot of distractions! If you let video game (or anything else) get too high in your life, you eventually begin to forget all that GOD has done for you and all of HIS love. You start seeing the spelndor of your (hobby) and you get caught up in it, because it distracts you from GOD. It is like trying to read a book at the circus. You try hard to concentrate on your reading, but the circus distracts you so much that you eventually give up your reading and just watch the show.

Everyone has their problems, but you need to keep your eyes on JESUS because HE will actually lead you somewhere all of your hobbies and distractions won't. The Bible says GOD will never give us something to big for us to handle, so when we need help keeping GOD first, we have to pray and do whatever we can do to stay strong with GOD... I don't know, read the Bible, watch a TV preacher- Anything! Remember, you will always have a choice to chose the right thing.

I have something else for you today too, but this blog is about to go under "extreme" editing. I'll see you in a little bit.

(I used a quote from Spider-man 3, if you didn't notice. I also used a lot of Bible verses, but I didn't name them (except one).)

GOD bless you. May your cup runneth over. Peace be with you.

The Great Commission

Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Mark 16:15

Why aren't the Christians doing anything? They should be out preaching the good news! Even when they are among sinners, they don't do anything at all. We say we aren't ashamed to speak GOD's name, but yet we haven't even started. Pray to GOD and ask HIM to give you something to do if you have to! I mean, I've heard that every second of the day, at least two people die. Do you think the majority of these people are Christians? Where will the unsaved go when they die if they don't hear GOD's word? Who is it who never told them? Where are GOD's people?

The great commission says make disciples of all nations.Have we even made them in our nation?Come on, Christians! Missions exists because worship doesn’t! People don’t worship the God that made them!We ambassadors!

GOD bless you.

Make the Most Important Decision in Your Life: Accept JESUS as Your Personal Savior

The most important decision in one's whole life is their decision to accept JESUS CHRIST and to follow HIM for the rest of their life. If you are not Christian, one who is struggling on what to chose, I urge you: Drop the confusion and follow JESUS. As I continue, I will tell you why you should chose JESUS and how... But please. Don't let the size of this post intimidate you. Please read it!

Let me start by explaining the base of Christianity. Back before JESUS was born (HE was born about 2,000 years ago) people made sacrifices to GOD to forgive their sins. The sacrifices were usually an individuals clean animal, keep in mind a lamb. Now, there's a lot of things I can say here, but I want to keep it simple. Now, GOD promised HIS people a Savior, a Messiah (I'll show you all of the 'promises' from GOD later). So HE sent HIS Son (JESUS) down to earth through the virgin Mary. JESUS was a great teacher (as you probably know) who never did anything wrong; HE never sinned. The Roman empire began to fear HIM, because they thought HE and HIS followers would try and 'overpower' them. So they arrested HIM, and handed HIM over to Pilot for trial. During the trial, JESUS had many chances to prove HIMSELF innocent, but HE didn't. HE was on a mission... HE knew HE had to die for our sins. So HE let the soldiers beat HIM, and spit on HIM, and mock HIM. Then they had HIM walk up a hill with a cross on HIS back to crucify HIM. They took some nails and they nailed JESUS' hands and feet to the cross. After that, they stabbed HIM with a spear, and then they left HIM there, dead. Soon, some of JESUS' disciples came and took HIM down from the cross. Then they put HIM in a tomb. Three days later, through the power of GOD, JESUS rose from the dead and then later ascended into heaven. Now, I think I skipped why all of that happened, so let me explain. I'm sure you have heard this verse:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16

GOD sent JESUS CHRIST to this earth to die for our sins. All of that JESUS went through was so we could be saved and so we could have life. JESUS gave up HIS own life for ours. How does this work? Let me explain.

GOD is perfect. HE has never sinned at all, HE is totally pure. We are not perfect. It is by our own human nature that we are bound to sin at least once, making us not pure; We are sinners. GOD cannot be in the presence of sinners (because sin makes us imperfect), so we cannot be in heaven with HIM forever (after we die) unless we find a way to be totally pure, like GOD. Do I need to back this up? How about Romans 3:23: "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD." So, I guess we are all stuck, since we all have sinned and have fallen short of GOD. Nope. This is where JESUS comes in. If we call out to JESUS (pray) and ask HIM to forgive our sins, then HIS spilled blood comes a 'washes' away our sin, making us perfect like GOD. The next time GOD looks at you, HE won't see an imperfect sinner, but he will see a perfect JESUS.


Now, to make what I said more understandable, I will use my famous, "Highly Scientific Chart", and an example.

Imagine a large canyon. GOD is on one side, humans are on the other. It is impossible for a human to jump from his/her side to God's. People who do that will surely fall. But when one asks JESUS to forgive them or their sins, HE becomes a 'bridge' from the human side to God ' s side. JESUS is the only way to GOD, you can't get to HIM by your own actions! Take a look at the illustration below to see what I mean.

You may be thinking that you will make it to heaven anyway, because you believe in JESUS and you haven't done anything wrong. You think.

First of all, do you love HIM or do you just believe in HIM? You aren't going to be able to make a deal with GOD when you are standing in front of HIM at your judgment. Think of all the sin you have committed

Have you ever:
Stolen something? That makes you a thief.Lied about something? That makes you a liar?Used God's name in vain? You are a sinner.

You probably have done some of that stuff, and that is already three of the Ten Commandments! And I'm sure you have committed other crimes against the LORD! Like I said, you can't get to heaven through your own works! Understand, you're a sinner! Heaven is spotless, you are not until you ask JESUS to come in to your life and forgive you of your sins!

There is a lot of good things that comes out of becoming a Christian too. GOD kindly and (happily) blesses you, you are most always happy, and best of all you get to be with GOD in heaven for eternity. And I don't like using this in my message of hope for the forgiven, but there is a place called hell for those who don't accept CHRIST. Hell is pure torture and it is also eternal (like heaven). I'm not going to go far into this topic, but to hear more about it, double click this:http://www.av1611.org/hell.html

(GOD doesn't want us to go to hell (HE makes that clear in the Bible), but HE gave us free will. HE can't do anything about it... except send me to tell you to chose heaven instead of it).

So now I plead with you: Don't put off your decision to chose CHRIST! You may think that you have all of the time in the world, but you really never know when you die. You could die in a week, in a few days, tomorrow, today, maybe even this very hour. About two people die every second! How do you know it won't be you? Don't think I'm trying to scare you into making your decision. I just want you to know that you are more happy than you can imagine after you accept JESUS.

I might sound a little strange when I say this, but some people who are not saved think they are pretty happy. I've been "on the outside" too, and I thought I was living a pretty good life. But after I accepted JESUS, things were much better! I couldn't believe my so called "good" life could turn into a great life!

OK. Yes, I am chasing you. But don't think I am crazy. This is a very important decision you can be making, and life is so much better after you make your choice to follow JESUS! You will never know how perfectly clear everything will become after you chose HIM. I can't stand how you might lose your whole life if you take in my message like background music!

Please, ask JESUS into your life now!!!

Steps to Bring JESUS Into Your Life:

Believe that JESUS is the one true son of GOD, and that HE died for your sins, came back to life, and is still alive today.

Be sorry for your sins because they separate you from GOD.

Ask the LORD JESUS to take away your sins, forgive you, and restore your relationship with GOD. GOD is the one who gives us salvation and faith. We can't save ourselves.

Once you do these things, know that you are part of God ' s family and that JESUS promises to be with you forever.

If you want to do this, pray this simple prayer:
Dear GOD, thank you for sending your son JESUS to die for my sins. I know I'm a sinner, so please forgive me of my sins and make me a new person. I want to have a relationship with you forever. Thank you for loving me and giving me a second chance. In JESUS' name, Amen.
I hope you made the decision to follow JESUS CHRIST. If you did, please let me know. I will be praying for you and I will bless you.

"Your Relationship With GOD"

Just because you are saved, doesn't mean you can do anything you want. Being a Christian means you have a relationship with GOD and JESUS. The most important thing in a relationship is love, wouldn't you agree? The Bible says:

If ye love me, keep my commandments.John 14:15

To help you get started being a Christian, I will give you some ways you can build your relationship with JESUS CHRIST.

Build Your Relationship with GOD:

Talk to GOD in prayer- You and GOD are friends now... Most friends like to talk. Speak to GOD everyday. You can anywhere and any how. Ask HIM for help or thank HIM for something, just let GOD know you are there!

Spend time with GOD by reading the Bible- The Bible is God's word; HE speaks to you through it and plus, you learn a lot about what you should and shouldn't do. Try to at least read one chapter everyday... but more if you have time.

Worship GOD- Tell and show GOD how great HE is by thanking HIM, praising HIM, and by keeping HIS commands.

Learn about GOD from other Christians- Don't be afraid to go to Church, watch religious television, or do anything that involves learning something from other Christians. They are your brothers and sisters!

"I pray that GOD will bless all who read this and make the decision to follow HIM forever. May everything you have increase seven-fold, and may GOD bless you in any other ways HE wants to. I pray that your relationship with GOD will be strengthened, and that you will live peacefully with GOD for eternity. In JESUS' holy name, amen."

Invisible

He must increase, but I must decrease.
John 3:30
"My GOD, make me invisible;
May all the glory I get go to you.
Use me for YOUR causes,
because YOU know what is best.
Become number #1 in my life LORD JESUS,
so I won't think of myself as the best.
Please, decrease me,
so YOU will increase,
and so will your love that lasts forever.
Amen"
GOD bless you. May GOD shine HIS face upon you. May you live forever in HIS holy presence. Peace be with you all.

Lecrae Lyrics: After the Music Stops

"After the Music Stops"

Lecrae

Yeah, I got a question, after the show, after the set, after the music stops, what's next? Are we just writing songs or are we concerned with uniting a people to follow the great commission of Christ.Yeah let's get it, let's go...

Back in the day I was a lunch line rapper, after that I guess I was a punch line rapper, then I got saved and sometime after, ya boy came back as a frontline rapper, and when I say the frontlines, that's not a frontline, I’m out here preachin’ Christ on the frontlines, and no it ain't about rockin' stages ‘coz some of my engagements are out on the pavements yeah.I'm out to take the bible, create disciples, who make disciples, disciple-cycles, that's why I want the beats to knock so after the music stops you can meet the rock i pray, that you would know him well, this is like show and tell, it's more than a show, I'm showing you Emmanuel,So yeah I’m hopin’ that you're likin' the flow but it's only so you could know that God I’m writing it for let's go...

After the show, after the set, after the music stops what's next?Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples, will you open your bibles after the music stops.After it’s over, after it ends, after the music stops, what then?Will you understand that Christ is King? Or will you just like the words we sing after the music stops.

I recorded a couple songs some fast some slow, so the listeners would know the importance of the show, the importance of the show's not to excite these folks but make God's truth relevant, ignite these folks. Discipleship is our call but we make disciples, this is not a suggestion, create disciples. The teachin' is a process, it's not over night and it’s not a stage and a mic nah, it's life on life Christ -Walked with twelve, ate with twelve, talked with twelve, shaped the twelve, invested in 'em well you could say that he made the twelve. Who made many more, who made plenty more, now it's on you and me if there's anymore.1 teach, 2 teach, 3 teach, 4 teach, 5 teach, 6 teach, 7 teach more, this is what we've been commissioned, it's the reason why I write, so that you could hear the truth, not so you can say I’m tight whoa...

After the show, after the set, after the music stops what's next?Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples, will you open your bibles after the music stops.After it’s over, after it ends, after the music stops, what then?Will you understand that Christ is King? Or will you just like the words we sing after the music stops.

So, we write this for the right the speaker was righteous, and then we might check for a culture who likes the hypeness. Some say we keep it crunk, some say we hype man; we just wanna pump the resurrection of the Christ man.We in the -burbs and the hoods that's hostile, we share a common view like synoptic Gospels and you know we keep a couple young dudes around us and teach 'em the same truth God used to ground us.This is a lifestyle so, when the mic's down I pray people follow Christ when they turn the lights down. I pray that everybody playin’ this song will be challenged by everything I had to say in this song.I don’t do this for the money, I don’t do this for fame, I don’t do this so the industry can know my name, I do this and host to glorify Yeshua the King, if you’re feelin’ me you know you should be doin’ the same let’s go…

After the show, after the set, after the music stops what's next?Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples, will you open your bibles after the music stops.After it’s over, after it ends, after the music stops, what then?Will you understand that Christ is King? Or will you just like the words we sing after the music stops.
