Bill & Gloria Gaither – Tell Me One More Time About Jesus

“Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about forgiveness and grace
Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about my Savior’s face

I walked by church Sunday morning’
Slipped on in the back door
Sure been a long time coming
Tell preacher what I need to know
His words were like a cool drink of water
He said sinners come on down the aisle
So I went runnin’ for the altar
Should have seen my old friend the preacher smile

“Guilty”

Romans 1:16-17

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

 
“Guilty”
 
When did it become breaking a rule
To say your name out loud in school
When your name’s the only one that sets us free?
When did it become incorrect
To speak the truth about life and death
When your life gave us all eternity?
 
Even if it gets me convicted
I’ll be on my knees with my hands lifted
 
If serving you’s against the law of man
If living out my faith in you is banned
Then I’ll stand right before the jury
 
If saying “I believe” is out of line
If I’m judged ’cause I’m gonna give my life
To show the world the love that fills me
Then I wanna be guilty
 
I’ll rise up and honor you
I’ll testify to the good you do
‘Cause your grace and your mercy have overtaken me
 
So even if it gets me convicted
I’ll be on my knees with my hands lifted
 
If serving you’s against the law of man
If living out my faith in you is banned
Then I’ll stand right before the jury
 
If saying “I believe” is out of line
If I’m judged ’cause I’m gonna give my life
To show the world the love that fills me
 
Then I wanna be guilty by association
Guilty of being a voice proclaiming
Your ways, your truth, your life
I’ll pay the price to be your light
 
If serving you’s against the law of man
If living out my faith in you is banned
Then I’ll stand right before the jury
 
If saying “I believe” is out of line
If I’m judged ’cause I’m gonna give my life
To show the world the love that fills me
 
Then I wanna be guilty by association
Guilty of being a voice proclaiming
Your ways, your truth, your life
I’ll pay the price to be your light
 
Oh, I wanna be guilty

 

Wise Men Still Seek Him

Shepherds gathered their flowing robes to hurry to Him; the Magi braved deserts and mountains to find Him; in the blazing noonday sun a defeated Samaritan woman came to Him; a skeptic exclaimed, “my Lord and my God” when he found Him. And today millions on every continent acknowledge with the Apostle Paul that He is “the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). Wise men still seek Him; and those who seek find more than they ever imagined. For in Jesus Christ, and Him alone, are to be found forgiveness, inward peace, joys …

I AM (From Eternity Past)

by Shawn Brasseaux God is too transcendent for our puny minds to understand. What He has revealed about Himself in His Word is still beyond our comprehension. We are not expected to fully understand God and His ways of doing things and why He does them in the manner in which He does. However, we are expected to believe what He tells us, no matter how bizarre or impossible it may seem to us. In this Bible study, we will examine the Bible to answer the questions—Who is Jesus anyway, and when did He come about? Where did Jesus come …

“Grace”

2 Corinthians 12:9 – And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.   My heart is so proud. My mind is so unfocused. I see the things You do through me as great things I have done. And now You gently break me, then lovingly You take me And hold me as my father and mold me as my maker. I ask you: “How many times will you pick me …

Pa Rum Pum Pum Pum….

Dr. Mike Murphy December 7, 2016 It is funny how the smallest of things can trigger our fondest of memories! While flipping through the channels of the television the other day I saw a commercial for an upcoming broadcast of The Little Drummer Boy.  In that split second, a smile came to my face as I remembered all the years as a young boy watching the story unfolded on the television screen.  Before I even knew it, I found myself going online and listening to the familiar song I had grown up hearing. We all have heard the song more …

THE TRUE STORY OF PAIN AND HOPE BEHIND “I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY”

In March of 1863, 18-year-old Charles Appleton Longfellow walked out of his family’s house on Brattle Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and—unbeknownst to his family—boarded a train bound for Washington, D.C., traveling over 400 miles across the eastern seaboard in order to join President Lincoln’s Union army to fight in the Civil War. Charles (b. June 9, 1844) was the oldest of six children born to Fannie Elizabeth Appleton and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the celebrated literary critic and poet. Charles had five younger siblings: a brother (aged 17) and three sisters (ages 13, 10, 8—another one had died as an infant). Less …
