Acts 4:12

"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

I must say I am a bit confused. Pondering the choice to end tonight's show with a worship song. Pondering the choice to remove the name of Jesus. Could it be kinda like those who witness to Jews using...... Yeshua or Messiah as to not alienate right out of the gate? Maybe there is a believing producer w/power to call the shots deciding these things? Or is it down right heathen idolatry and the enemy at work with his subtle trickeries? Manipulating...trying to get Christians all excited and donating out of emotion. Distracted by and settling for a counterfeit. There is much good in the world...but at the end of the day, we want to be after His best. What's left over will eventually burn up as rubble and hay.

There's no doubt in my mind though....deep down.... those singing the song...and....those watching across the globe know the "Shepherd" being referred to is the Biblical Jesus....not Ghandi, not Buddha, not Allah, not the Pope, not Joseph Smith, not Krishna, not Mariann Williamson, not L. Ron Hubbard, not Ellen G. White, not Deepak Chopra, not Oprah. And that one day....every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that JESUS is Lord.

Put it together with Dolly's performance last week along with the Clark Brothers..... and at the very least we've got some pretty interesting American Idol discussions that may open doors with our unbelieving neighbors. The Lord has been boldly praised on the show. I'm just not sure what tonight was.

“He who is not with Me is against Me.” Luke 11:23

Neutrality is not a possibility.

Matthew 16:15...poses a question each of us must answer sooner or later. It makes no difference what others think...... scholars, scientists, teachers, government officials, pastors, spouses, parents, siblings, or friends. We can carry on about all the "theories"....all the "possibilities"....but because the historical Jesus claimed to be Diety and told us that He was the only road to salvation...there are simply three options.

The Biblical Jesus was either a lunatic, a liar, or Lord.

And if He was Lord....He is alive.

"Have I now become your enemy by telling the truth?"
Galations 4:16

No, I'm afraid we were merely unexposed enemies. Not without hope....but divided at present nonetheless.

#1 is about to drive and things will never be the same again.

He certainly has a way with food. BBQ ginger chicken.

When the natural world whispers His love for us....

crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, Crazy, CRazy, CRAzy, CRAZy, CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's as if the majority of the world has up and gone crazy. The only thing that keeps me goin'.....I'm tellin' ya....is the knowledge that heaven is my home.

Does anybody know anything about Child Labor Laws? Do we actually have to feed them and give them breaks?

When two of your best friends are your parents....the world is a very safe and glorious place.

The Lord knows the desires of our hearts but we know our hearts are deceitful and can lead us astray. As believers, we are after His will.

Today, as I ponder my many, many blessings...I lay at the alter those things that without Him, would overpower me....situations, hopes & desires, relationships. As I blow out my candles tonight....I choose to trust His goodness, His love for me, His perfect will, and His timing.

Zion stood back and looked at the seashell family she had created. A tiny bit hesitant....unsure of what she had done....she asked, "Is it okay that there are different colors?" We had eye contact. After a few seconds or so....I responded with, "Is it okay that there are different colors?" She smiled wide and answered her own question....."Yes."
