Perseverance...

Perseverance...

The art of staying the course. It embodies loyalty, faith, determination, purpose, and consistency. Remeber the verses that compares our faith to running a race you can find them at;

PSALM 19
ECCLESIASTES 9
1 CORINTHIANS 9

2 TIMOTHY 4
HEBREWS 12

As we run, we must always remember why we run and keep in mind that if we want to see change we must first become the change we want to see. Just like an athlete trains his body and mind so must we, train our bodies and minds in the faith of Jesus Christ. As knowledge set you up for that training, perseverance sets the bar for your success. Knowing why you run is very important to your success of adding perseverance to your faith.

Ask yourself why you believe and internalize it. Then verbalize it and tell others why you believe what you believe and allow them and God to work out the details. Do not conform to the world, rather believe that God can work in anyone just as He has worked in you. Tell your story of why you believe not just for others but for yourself as well. Use it as reminder to add perseverance to your faith.

Next post; Godliness...

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Knowing your Testimony...

"Testimony" what is this word?

This word is a very important word for the believer to know and it also important for him to know the reasons why he believes in God through Jesus Christ.

Revelation 12:11 states;

They overcame him
by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony;
they did not love their lives so much
as to shrink from death.

Death the ultimate commitment to give ones life for another. The traditional vow of marriage holds that the couple entering into matrimony would love each other or stay together "until death do us part"

With wholesale dissolution's of marriage rampant in today's society I guess we are not to be held by our vows that we make. Sure there are instances where divorce is meaningful for instance infidelity.

If our testimony is to have meaning in relation to our vow to God through Jesus Christ then we must know it forward and backwards and be willing to give it at the drop of a dime.

This is why I believe...My Testimony

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

"Bad Christian" Project...

Calling all God's people everywhere...

Started working in the studio today on my "Bad Christian" project and will be on that topic for the next several months. I'll be releasing certain parts here available for download in MP3 for the songs and will be using Youtube for some of the video. With a full production release slated for some time in the new year. If you or anyone you know would like to become part of this project here is a brief description of what I need to make it a screaming success.

The project is a fairly large effort that will need the cooperation and unity of many Christian folk right across the world. The whole idea stems from the fact that Christianity is divided by denominational divergence and that we as believers in Christ can work together to make a difference in our belief. And further the great commission to make disciples of all the world. Starting here in North America and moving as far as God will allow the project to reach. That we can break down the barriers of denomination by participating in a project that makes a bee-line to the message of Jesus Christ.

The project itself is a grassroots movement that can help raise awareness to the fact that Christianity in the beginning was a persecuted belief. And that persecution of that belief still happens in many parts of the world Today. Maybe it happens right in your own church or neighborhood. The project will focus on how denominational divergence started and how we as grassroots believers in Jesus Christ can stop the spread of sectarianism in Christianity and get back to the basics of why Jesus came and offered salvation to a dying world.

The scenario will work like this... I will be needing groups of believers who would be willing to go to church on a certain Sunday wearing a t-shirt that says Jesus was not a whatever the denomination on the front of the shirt. And film the outcome in DV format and send the tape to me for inclusion in the film.

Also filming people going into worship services at churches of many different denominations that would be willing to be interviewed on their thoughts about;

1. Do you think that God sent Jesus Christ to the earth to set-up a new religion called Christianity? If yes... Where in scripture would you find that Jesus was to start a new religion called Christianity?

2. What denomination did Jesus and the Apostles belong too?

3. Will Jesus find faith on the earth when He comes on the great and final day?

Also I would like to receive any footage from anywhere that shows believers being persecuted for their belief in Jesus Christ. This footage could include folks who have been excommunicated for any type of reason from any denomination.

People needed;

- Prayer Warriors to pray continually for the project from start to finish.

- Amateur/Professional Film Makers - Who have DV style camera's right across the world who would be willing to shoot footage in their cities and send it in to me for consideration in the film.

- People that can help with production, graphics, website, computer animations, posters and as general lobbyists to gain support from the Christian community in their geographical locations.

- Film industry people who would give their talents to help make the film look professional and help with distribution.

- Musicians/Song Writers/Artists that would be willing to contribute their talent through song, poetry, prose, painting and any and all artforms that excite the senses.

- Donations of money, time, talent for every aspect of this creation.

Folks I am just a small believer with a big dream that is based in scripture. If God is for us, who can be against us? And that despite the huge problems that the current 38,000 Christian denominations have caused. We as believers despite our denominational differences can one day walk into any Christian church that professes Jesus Christ as Lord and be accepted. Just as Jesus accepts us into his body and that we can be one just as the Father and Son are one. Is this not the prayer that Jesus prayed for all believers?

JOHN 17: 20-26

"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. "Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

The Emphatic Believer...

Being sure of ones salvation is always sound practice as we learn to practice our faith in a dying world. Practice they say makes perfect and being perfected in holiness is what we are to practice daily, weekly, monthly and yearly.

How we practice makes as much of a difference as to what we believe…

Understanding how to or even what to practice in demonstrating our faith is important to accomplishing through God’s infinite grace the perfecting the Bible talks about, consider Matthew 5:43-48.

Love for Enemies
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'

44
But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45
that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

46
If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?

47
And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?

48
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

WHO IS YOUR ENEMY?

Is it the church down the street that you are competing with for spiritual supremacy of your neighborhood?

Is it the factions within your church that you compete with for supremacy of who gets to be THE ONE or ONES that comes up with and implements all the cool and or newest outreach or ministry ideas?

Is it your family or circle of friends or certain persons within your family or circle of friends?

WHO IS YOUR PERSECUTOR?

Is it the people from the 33,000 other christian denominations that exist in this wacky world?

Is it the people in your very own chosen church?

Members of the church against non-members or adherents?

Is it family members or friends maybe co-workers that persecute you because of your belief?

No matter who your enemies and persecutors are the biblical response is to show love which can be acquainted to actual holiness. Love and holiness go together like hate and death are to sin.

For us to defeat the hate responses or anger we feel at being persecuted or hated by others. then we cannot rely on our own understanding alone, but the understanding of God as promised in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (see Acts 2:38,39). If we are to overcome hate and persecution in our domestic, personal, spiritual and working lives we need to trust God's promises to be true and already fulfilled through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the redemption of our sins.

We also need to admit that none of us are perfect see; ADVERTISING OUR IMPERFECTIONS, also consider what the bible says about us Romans 3;9-20

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
