Michael W. Smith & Jennifer Nettles - "Christmas Day"

Guy, soon there will be Christmas. Christ was born. He left the glory of heaven and lived on earth only for the reason to die for us and for our sins. This is very special. Believe in Him. He is the best and without Him heaven is not possible. This is a song about Christmas for you!

Advent Devotional Seeking refuge from Pam Wilson


Genesis 12 is the lodestone for those of us ‘in waiting.’ God gives a promise that is so staggering, we are still reeling under its magnitude.
Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonours you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." (Genesis 12:1-3)

“In you, all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Granted Abraham – or Abram, as he was called then - didn’t understand the significance of this promise. Probably the first command was already causing his blood to run cold. In the culture of that day, and in much of Turkey even today, your family’s support and influence are your currency. To go to an unknown place with no family or connections would have been a very sobering thing. Better take along a nephew. Taking a brother might seem distrust of the Lord but a nephew, who’s going to notice?

Stephen in Acts 7 lets Abraham’s secret out of the bag that God had actually called Abram when he was still in Ur. He got as far as Harran (Şanlıurfa in modern Turkey) when, after his father’s death, God nudged him again. God is so gracious that way. Jonah later does exactly the same thing. And like Jonah, after the second time, Abraham obeys.

One would think that obedience to God’s call ensures a smooth journey but Scripture is full of examples that our definition of a straight line to the goal is very often not God’s definition. Abram over and over finds himself a refugee:

Genesis 12:10 Despite being in the land that God is going to “give to your offspring”, famine drives Abram to be an economic refugee in Egypt.

Genesis 12:19-20 Abram becomes politically displaced by Pharaoh after the incident regarding Sarai.

Genesis 13:6-7 Scarcity and conflict with Lot drive Abram and Sarai out again.

We forget about economic refugees once the crisis is over. But there’s a very good reason there are more Murphys and O’Neills in the US than in Ireland. The Irish Famine of the 1840s reshaped both Ireland and North America when out of a population of 8 million, one million died and another 2 million fled to North America for refuge. Of the nearly 100,000 who left for Canada in 1847, at least 30,000 were dead by the end of that year, perishing at sea or shortly after arrival. More boat people.

While Abraham wandered as an economic refugee, he was not recognised as the source of God’s blessings to the nations. How many other economic refugees have God’s anointing and we haven’t noticed? Consider a gift to World Relief in the US (www.worldrelief.org) or TEARFund in the UK (www.tearfund.org), two excellent organisations who compassionately care for economic refugees.

Honoring Parents Who Do Not Get Along

We never know how many years or days we will live. The best people are dying

I realised couple days ago that the copilot in the Russian jet, which Turks shot down was sadly my former middle school classmate :( He was the best student in our school and from his childhood he was dreaming to be a pilot

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW SUFFERING?

Малоизвестная молитва от Экзюпери

Молитва Антуана де Экзюпери об искусстве маленьких шагов (текст)

Недавно наткнулся на текст известной молитвы французского писателя А.де Экзюпери. Еще раз перечитал и понял, что хотел бы разместить ее в этом блоге т.к.она важна для понимания себя и отношений с Богом.



Малоизвестная молитва от Экзюпери

Молитва, написанная Антуаном де Сент-Экзюпери в один из самых тяжелых периодов своей жизни. Она напоминает об очень важных вещах и глубоко затрагивает душу и разум.

Господи, я прошу не о чудесах и не о миражах, а о силе каждого дня. Научи меня искусству маленьких шагов.

Сделай меня наблюдательным и находчивым, чтобы в пестроте будней вовремя останавливаться на открытиях и опыте, которые меня взволновали.

Научи меня правильно распоряжаться временем моей

Give thanks for everything

The Bible says: "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
What can we be thankful for?
1. For that you have home
2. For that you have to eat
3. For that your home is not empty
4. For that you have a spouse. If you don't have a spouse 
5. For that you have friends
5. If you don't have a spouse or a good friend you can be thankful for that you can see the light
6. Say thanks that you can hear and you can walk 
7. Be thankful even for that you can take a shower every day
We have so many things to thank God for just don't allow your feelings to destroy many blessings you have in your life.

Praying Our Fears – Timothy Keller

Psalm 6

Psalm 6

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith. A psalm of David.

Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger
    or discipline me in your wrath.
Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint;
    heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.
My soul is in deep anguish.
    How long, Lord, how long?
Turn, Lord, and deliver me;
    save me because of your unfailing love.
Among the dead no one proclaims your name.
    Who praises you from the grave?
I am worn out from my groaning.
All night long I flood my bed with weeping
    and drench my couch with tears.
My eyes grow weak with sorrow;
    they fail because of all my foes.
Away from me, all you who do evil,
    for the Lord has heard my weeping.
The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;
    the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;
    they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.

Meaningless Life?: Running To Your Funeral: Ecclesiastes 2:12-26

Wisdom and Folly Are Meaningless

12 Then I turned my thoughts to consider wisdom,
    and also madness and folly.
What more can the king’s successor do
    than what has already been done?
13 I saw that wisdom is better than folly,
    just as light is better than darkness.
14 The wise have eyes in their heads,
    while the fool walks in the darkness;
but I came to realize
    that the same fate overtakes them both.
15 Then I said to myself,
“The fate of the fool will overtake me also.
    What then do I gain by being wise?”
I said to myself,
    “This too is meaningless.”
16 For the wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered;
    the days have already come when both have been forgotten.
Like the fool, the wise too must die!

Toil Is Meaningless

17 So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. 18 I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me. 19 And who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish? Yet they will have control over all the fruit of my toil into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless. 20 So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun. 21 For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. 22 What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun? 23 All their days their work is grief and pain;even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless.

Гражданский брак: партнет, любовница, кто угодно, но не жена

An Honest Conversation About Abortion that Asks Us Not to Turn Away

Blessed is the one whose sins are forgiven

Psalm 32

Of David. A maskil.

Blessed is the one
    whose transgressions are forgiven,
    whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the one
    whose sin the Lord does not count against them
    and in whose spirit is no deceit.
When I kept silent,
    my bones wasted away
    through my groaning all day long.
For day and night
    your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was sapped
    as in the heat of summer.[b]
Then I acknowledged my sin to you
    and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
    my transgressions to the Lord.”
And you forgave
    the guilt of my sin.
Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
    while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters
    will not reach them.
You are my hiding place;
    you will protect me from trouble
    and surround me with songs of deliverance.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
    I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
Do not be like the horse or the mule,
    which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
    or they will not come to you.
10 Many are the woes of the wicked,
    but the Lord’s unfailing love
    surrounds the one who trusts in him.
11 Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous;
    sing, all you who are upright in heart!
