Christian Music … I had the pleasure of hearing instrumentals and songs that make a difference in someone’s life. People we’re thrilled when they had an occasion to talk about a favorite. The lyrics and the melody reach out and fill our moments with meaning and we appreciate the sensation. During the days when we used records on radio, announcers had a saying about songs that became people’s favorites, “God’s voice is speaking to them in the grooves.” A music artist intentionally desires to bring Jesus closer to your present.

Leaving the Darkness to Live In the Light

Light

1. One step forward. Don’t live in the future. Don’t live in the past. Live in the present.

2. This is the day the Lord has made, rejoice and be glad in it.

3. Forget about: “What if” … I had done this or that? Decide to live now. Because “now” is your chance to step forward.

 

 

I sat with a small group in the Temple and we heard him speak.

He said:
“When you’re laughing or
When you’re crying
I am with you.
I’ll never let you go.
You can depend on me.
Come live in the light,
Won’t you?”

I Don’t Have to Hide Because God Isn’t Mad at Me

Posted on by

HIDING

 

I’ve spent much of my life trying to hide from God.

I felt sure I deserved to get smacked by God.

Yet I realize as Greg Long sings  “I Cannot Hide from You”

God.

 

WON’T WORK

 

This means:

There isn’t any place I can get to that God isn’t already there.

 

Moreover, God isn’t mad at me because

God already knows I am messed up.

 

THIS DOES WORK

 

God sent Jesus to make me better.

The truth is:

 

  • God isn’t mad at me
  • God loves me
  • God knew I couldn’t fix myself.
  • God did something so I wouldn’thave to hide.

God Understands Your Pain

Posted on by

 

 

I took a long, long look at these three words and sighed:

       Sorrow

       Oppression

       Suffering

 

(S.O.S.)

 

Undoubtedly, if you’re human, you’re familiar with these three words.

 

       Sorrow

       Oppression

       Suffering

You can read these words in your Bible in Isaiah 53:3.

 

       Sorrow

       Oppression

       Suffering

You can picture these words as they’re sung in the hymn “God Understands.”

 

(Background)

In 1935 missionaries to Peru, Cliff and Ruth Bicker, planned to return to the United States with their two sons. Before the family left Peru Cliff died in a car accident. As a result, Ruth’s brother, pastor Oswald Smith, wrote the words to the hymn, “God Understands.” It’s a hymn of comfort.

 

God understands your sorrow, He sees the falling tear,
And whispers, “I am with thee,” Then falter not, nor fear.

God understands your heartache, He knows the bitter pain;
O, trust Him in the darkness, You cannot trust in vain.

God understands your weakness, He knows the tempter’s pow’r;
And He will walk beside you however dark the hour.

He understands your longing,
Your deepest grief he shares;
Then let Him bear your burden,
He understands, and cares.

Can you believe God understands your pain?
