Boomin'
God brings great things out of tough circumstances. I got a 94% on my History test today and last Friday I got an 89% on my Algebra 2 test. :) The new music vid is Live Out Loud by Steven Curtis Chapman. I really like the journal about the general information about each book of the Bible. I find it very effective and I enjoy doing it on my own. BTW, go to Youtube and type in "City On Our Knees tobymac" it's his new single and more girls might like it because it's a little more laid back in style.

Lion and the Lamb
I was thinking about when people describe Jesus as the Lion and the Lamb. He's a lion because He's all powerful, the leader of the pack, the commander, He helps us kill sin and protects us from temptation when we seek Him, and He is all knowing. He's also the lamb because He made the ultimate sacrifice so we could be cleansed of our sins and go to Heaven. What a perfect balance.

A Thinker
My new music video is Prayer For a Friend by Casting Crowns. I wrote an essay on my favorite book which is the Bible and so I thought you all might be interested...
My favorite book is the Bible. It's God's Word. The Bible is the best selling book of all time. Reading isn't one of my favorite hobbies, but the Bible is a book that keeps you in suspense, like what's going to happen next. The Bible reveals that God's son, Jesus Christ died on the cross to take or absorb God's wrath so that we can be forgiven of all our sins and pave the way to Heaven. On our part, we need to ask for forgiveness of our sins and commit our lives to God. I like this as a supporting verse to also committing our lives to Him: 1 John 2:4-5 (ESV) says: (Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him:) Even after we have converted, the Bible shows us ways that we can grow more Christ-like and also it points out what is sin so we can know what we're doing wrong and repent from them. God tells us in the Bible that He will never leave us nor forsake us and that God unconditionally loves us no matter how many times we mess up. The bottom line is that the Bible is what God uses to tell the Gospel and He commands us to not hide in a hole, but tell others about the Gospel so they may have new life in Him and the Bible is the guide for life. It doesn't have all the answers to all of our questions, but the Bible should have a huge effect on what decisions we make day in and day out.

1st Day of School
School's back for me. As I was working today, I realized that even though my curriculum is tough, there's no point in complaining about it, so I'm going to give it all I got for the glory of God. There's a lot of times where we don't understand why God put's us in the set of circumstances that He does, but God turns trials into something good. So, we need to keep trusting in God in the good and the rough times.

A Thought
Sunday is coming up soon and I feel that the Lord wants to remind us this in regards to sermons. James 1:22 says But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Here's a little taste of Worthy 09. This is a true story.
August 19, 2009
At ministry night, when the prayer was getting more intense and people crying, I had a picture in my mind of long path with a light at the end and I saw that the Lord was using the new Christians through the gifts they received and they would stop on the path to use their gifts and then continue their journey.

Worthy!
By the way, I made a NFL Street 2 team composed of CLC pastors and here's 2 pictures I took of gameplay.
Pastor Dave Brewer sacks and crushes Quarterback Kurt Warner. Pastor Brian Chesemore catches the football in mid-air between the legs.
Worthy 09 starts on Monday. :D So, it took me a couple days, but I made a Worthy theme song. The new music video is Speaking Louder Than Before by Jeremy Camp (the third panel down). Here's the lyrics for my Worthy theme song:
(Verse 1)
People are growing in God
He guides them with His staff and rod
They're having fellowship with their friends
And at sermon time; smoke is coming from their pens
(Chorus)
You're what we're living for
All of us and what we have is Your's
We'll wait for the Lord
Then like eagles we'll soar
and for You we'll roar!
(Verse 2)
On Ministry night; God's doing some life transformation
Starting some spiritual acceleration
Turning trips to Hell into a cancellation
And now Heaven is their final destination
(Chorus 2x)
You're what we're living for
All of us and what we have is Your's
We'll wait for the Lord
Then like eagles we'll soar
and for You we'll roar!

Hello...Hello...Hello......Hello!
The reason I keep writing more Christian Rap songs is that I feel writing it is a talent that God has given me and even though I don't play an instrument, this is a way I can still further His Kingdom. So, I finished another song. Here it is:
(Verse 1)
We are God's creation
So go out to the nations
Telling people face-to-face
of Jesus' love and grace
(Chorus)
Everywhere I go
And everywhere I stay
To the Lord Jesus I will pray
(Verse 2)
I would've fell
into the black hole of Hell
But He died for my sin
So there was the hope
I grabbed onto the rope
And put my trust in Christ
Now, I'm going to Heaven
(Verse 3)
I see the great work of His Hands
Creating the world in days, only seven
I put my house on the foundation of Jesus who's my rock
Rather than the sand
That washes away
And leads me astray
(Chorus 2x)
Everywhere I go
And everywhere I stay
To the Lord Jesus I will pray
Paul

Talk
The new music video is Grace Like Rain by Todd Agnew over there on the video bar. God cares about what comes out of our mouths a lot and here is some Biblical proof of what He likes to hear and what He doesn't:
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vein; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vein. Exodus 20:7
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. Exodus 20:16
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Psalm 19:4
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good. Psalm 53:1
Shout for joy to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! Psalm 66:1
For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For they have no pangs until death; their bodies are fat and sleek. They are not in trouble as others are; they are not stricken like the rest of mankind. Therefore pride is their necklace; violence covers them as a garment. Their eyes swell out through fatness; their hearts overflow with follies. They scoff and speak with malice; loftily they threaten oppression. They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongue struts through the earth. Psalm 73:3-9
Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy. Psalm 101:5
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44
But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not remain in your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God" Acts 5:3-4
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those that hear. Ephesians 4:29
Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. Ephesians 5:4
Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices. Colossians 3:9
Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 2 Timothy 2:14
If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 1 John 1:6

Clarification
So, the purpose of the first 2 lines of Sin Crusher was to describe a setting. A person has all their items in their cart in the line at the register, and there's tabloids there of course. Well, that's why you look at the floor and not open sin's door because the tabloids open up a door for sin so it's best not to look at them at all. I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me. A perverse heart shall be far from me; it shall not cling to me -------Psalm 101:3-4

More Christian Rap
(Verse 1)
Gonna purchase your groceries
Standing in line at the store
But you gotta remember
To look at the floor
And not open sin's door
(Chorus)
Shut down your temptation
Then reject the flesh temptation
Remember Christ's donation
Of Himself on the cross
He defeated death and sin
He proved who's the boss
(Verse 2)
Jesus is the King and master
Don't indulge in sin
It's a big old disaster
Pray to the Lord and fast
Instead of getting cars that are faster and faster
And pistols to blast
'Cause Jesus really satisfies
and He's the only one who really lasts
(Chorus 2x)
Shut down your temptation
Then reject the flesh sensation
Remember Christ's donation
of Himself on the cross
He defeated death and sin
He proved who's the boss

God is Awesome
I finished my song; "Garage Church" I'll post the lyrics on my next post to see what y'all think of it. Here's the big thing. I wrote the following on April 30. A couple of months ago I had prayed that God would show me a sign so I'd know He was there. Last night, Wednesday, April 29, 2009; I had a dream that I was just sitting on my bed and there came in my room furiously and violently a demon possessed person and through God I cast the demon out of the person. Then, there was a bunch of black smoke and the person fell on the floor unconscious. Next, another demon possessed person came in the same way and through God, I had cast out another demon and the person fell unconscious on the floor again. Finally, I went to the floor and shook the people on the floor to see if they were still alive and I woke up. end I think that this was a vision from God.

On the Video Bar, I put up my new media recommendation; click on the top box. The song is Sea of Faces by Kutless. I found this one Bible verse that's really cool. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. -------James 1:22
I hope I did well on the Science test I took today. Next time, I'll post my grade on it; it was on light. For students, we are done SAT's, it's awesome :) and a relief.

What I'm Thinkin'
I've got this strong feeling that in the church there are young people that feel lonely or left out and they don't know where to turn. The Bible has an answer. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? ----Psalm 27:1 The Lord is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed. -----Psalm 28:8

Good Friday
I had a good time at my friend Caleb's house. Today, I went to Weis to do grocery shopping. I put up a new video bar so you can watch any Youtube videos that I put up for my media recommendation right from my blog. My media recommendation is Joyful Noise by Flame. featuring Lecrae and John Reilly. The music video is the third video down. For good sound and lyrics click on the fourth video down. Please watch one of these videos. These guys are passionate about what they do and put their heart and soul into the song between the music, vocals, and lyrics. Today we thank Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. I thank Jesus for all my family, Christian friends, and everything else I've been given. I vow to continue working for Him for the rest of my life.

Got It Done
Paul Brown
This is a resource for witnessing Christians so they can be prepared when non-Christians ask them questions about what the Bible says, on certain issues. Now remember, when you answer some of their questions, do it in a kind and loving away. I've worked hard at this for a long time so I hope you enjoy. God speaks through His word.

Ephesians 5:18-21 (ESV)
What does God say about gambling?

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV)

Interesting
I had a great weekend. My grandparents came over for dinner on Saturday night. I played NFL Street 2 in which a found a code that makes all the players supersized. There's this one play called Running Back Bam where the center snaps it to the Running Back and he runs. Well, when I made the players supersized and did that play there was a glitch where the center would snap it way over the Running Back's head but somehow its not a fumble, just a backwards incomplete pass...odd. I saw this one bird that kept flying into my Dad's truck this morning and I couted that it flew into the truck seventy times until Dicey finally chased it away.
