Encouragement for the Journey Part 1

Who Ya Gonna Trust?

Trust is an important aspect in our lives. But who can you really trust? Some people put their trust in power and postion. Others trust in themselves or other people. Still others trust in their accumulated wealth. Yet all of these can change and not be truly reliable. There is One who is an unchanging Rock, who is the same yesterday and forever. That, perhaps is the best place in which to place our trust.

Are You Living in an Altared Reality?

There are many ways we can alter the reality around us. It may be through virtual reality or the use of some kind of mood altering, perception changing, emotional processing medication (drug). However, what if we ultimately altered our reality - the reality of what we are thinking, feeling, or experiencing by bringing it to God and thereby living in an altared reality?

Sing It Like You Mean It

We sing songs without necessarily considering - or beleiving - the words we are singing. This can be true with any kind or style (genre) of music, but is particularly concerning when it involves contemporary "worship" songs. It is much like the saying: "God said it; I believe it; that settles it." Does it really? Or is it just easy to simply sing along with today's music that is so well written and performed? What impact does our singing actually have on our lives?

Encouragement for the Journey Part3

Life is a journey we all make and along the way we all encounter some difficult and often unexpected situations. One source of encouragement during those times can come from listening to - and perhaps even singing along with - encouraging music. And one source for this is found in "God's Music" (aka Worship Music), especially songs that are truly scripturally based.

Encouragement for the Journey Part 2

"Life is a journey - enjoy the ride" is a phrase that was made popular via a 1996 commercial series by Nissan. Wouldn't it be great if our journey in /of life was one great adventure after another. Yet we know that isn't reality, is it? So during those difficult, uncertain, and even unsettling times we need a source of true encouragement (and not just a new car!). God - who is never changing - and His Word - that is everlasting - offer just such encouragement for us, no matter the circumstance or situation.
