Times are hard, but don’t end your life!!!

This time of the year is especially rough than it is any other time of the year. Even though depression and suicide can effect people year around, the symptoms are evident even more during the holiday season.

Please watch this video by Trent Shelton as he talks about ending your life.

MY WORLD NEEDS YOU

Just wanted to share a devotional by Kirk Franklin that I am subscribed to at http://www.youversion.com (bible app). It’s a good app/website to use especially when you are just starting out reading the bible or a new believer:


MY WORLD NEEDS YOU
As a Christian, do you ever feel like you’re always losing the fight in this world? No matter how hard you try to be on top of your game at work, or study harder than the next guy to be prepared to execute at your best, someone who doesn’t share the same values as you do, always seems to come in first place at everything.
Even in your personal life. You fight to be faithful, but infidelity still snuck in and robbed you of your wedding vows. But your spirit still tells you to fight for your marriage anyway! Kinda sucks doesn’t it?!
Only if you look through the lens of today or the telescope of this life, do you feel like, “What’s the use of serving God if you always lose in the end?” But what you need in your world is HIS world.
That’s the message this song conveys. In a world that feels like we never win, it’s the Hero that offers another greater truth. That the world we live in now can be survived with the right gear. We need supernatural power to make it in this world, so what God does is bring His world into ours and the strength of heaven is now infused into our hopelessness so we can swim with the sharks and still survive.
If you are swimming underwater, you need to bring something from your world into that world. Since you can’t breathe underwater like the fish swimming around you, you need to bring your own oxygen into their world. And the deeper you go, the bigger your tanks need to be. You can’t survive in this world with snorkeling gear, because that won’t take you deep enough. You need tanks full of HIM that can help you survive amongst the sharks or whatever else is around you.
God does that by filling us with His word and His presence, but it is our responsibility to take it, to fill up on it, and carry it into the deep parts of this dark foreign world. And your tanks can’t be filled with just emotion and religion. They must be filled with that LOGOS-God breathed word that is able to transform you so you have power, hope and joy no matter what this life may bring. I want that. I know you want that. And we all need it. It’s available if we would just ask…My World Needs You.

Psalms 20:7

A good movie to watch that teaches about prayer

I haven’t been to see this movie yet, but from reviews and a view of the trailer, I got a snippet of the way this movie teaches strategic ways to pray before going into problems, situations , battle and more. 

This video talks about some of the strategies (not actual movie trailer. Click below for trailer)

You know we are in the end times when this happens

This is the second time I heard of this type of story in the past two weeks. I can’t believe this is actually happening to people. I grew up in church, and I never would have visualized this happening to any member of the church old or young.

I believe in tithing because it helps provide funds to support different things that the church does for the community and to pay for the church and it’s reoccurring bills. Not all churches use the funds for what it was went for so that defeats the purpose for collecting tithes and some do. But when I see this type of story, it makes me feel sad for the person and the state of the church in general.
