The Upper Room - all things Christian

Video to Sara Groves' song, "When the Saints" -- I LOVE this song!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Zkiyj7Kp7MM

lyrics:

Lord I have a heavy burden of all I've seen and know
It's more than I can handle
But your word is burning like a fire shut up in my bones
and I cannot let it go

And when I'm weary and overwrought
with so many battles left unfought

I think of Paul and Silas in the prison yard
I hear their song of freedom rising to the stars
And when the Saints go marching in
I want to be one of them

Lord it's all that I can't carry and cannot leave behind
it often overwhelms me
but when I think of all who've gone before and lived the faithful life
their courage compells me
And when I'm weary and overwrought
with so many battles left unfought

I think of Paul and Silas in the prison yard
I hear their song of freedom rising to the stars

I see the shepherd Moses in the Pharohs court
I hear his call for freedom for the people of the Lord

And when the Saints go marching in
I want to be one of them
And when the Saints go marching in
I want to be one of them

I see the long quiet walk along the Underground Railroad
I see the slave awakening to the value of her soul

I see the young missionary and the angry spear
I see his family returning with no trace of fear

I see the long hard shadows of Calcutta nights
I see the sisters standing by the dying man's side

I see the young girl huddled on the brothel floor
I see the man with a passion come and kicking down the door

I see the man of sorrows and his long troubled road
I see the world on his shoulders and my easy load

And when the Saints go marching in
I want to be one of them
and when the Saints go marching in
I want to be one of them
I want to be one of them
I want to be one of them
I want to be one of them

Trailer to a film that I'd like to get my hands on, Sara Groves (LOVE her voice!) missions trip to Africa, and a video to a song that trip inspired her to write.

Gospel Sing

The Rivenbark family, featuring father-daughter duo Keith and Kayla Rivenbark, will be singing at Elizabeth United Methodist Church on Sunday, January 27, at 7:00 p.m. This popular local gospel singing group enjoys sharing their gifts and God's love throughout the region. Elizabeth Church is located at 4269 Cleveland Rd. From the 4042 area, going toward Smithfield, it's on the right hand side about a mile past the intersection with Polenta Rd., and just before Lee Trace s/d. There will be no admission charge for the performance, but a love offering will be taken. Feel free to PM me for more information.

Who's Who in Bible Prophecy - http://www.soundchristian.com/prophecy/who/

 

They came to our little church in December and they are absolutely awesome! Kayla is a beautiful young lady with the voice of an angel. She and Keith are totally surrounded by the Holy Spirit when they sing.

Hubby and I are planning to go tomorrow night. Thank you so much for posting this Grandma.

Will you be there? How can I find you to say hello?

 

Anybody ever seen the group Fortress? They are wonderful. They are all local boys from Garner.

 

Not being a Christian, I did not want to pester you folks on your thread, but I saw something pretty neat at the following link that I thought you folks might enjoy.

The Bible per Google Earth, Sorry if you already posted it.
http://www.creativereview.co.uk/crblog/the-bible-according-to-google-earth/

 

Hught: thoroughly enjoyed that link. Even knowing that it was a depiction of ACTUAL events, it seemed like it was real.

It reminded me of something I saw while I was stationed in Pearl Harbor.

I came across some very good overhead, 3D, images of Pearl Harbor just a few days BEFORE Dec. 7th, 1941.

Viewing the 3D images through a light table binocular viewer, it almost seemed like you were in an airplane flying over Oahu. It almost put you in that same time frame.

All the ships were moored in Battleship Row, Arizona, everybody.

Weird.

These google earth rendered shots had the same effect.

 

In loving memory of my great-uncle, JW Fuller, Jr.

May God bless you in your new Home....

Think of stepping on the river's shore ---
and finding it heaven

of breathing pure air ---
and finding it celestial air

of seeing a face ---
and finding it is God's face

of feeling a touch ---
and finding it is God's hand

of waking up ---
and finding you're home.​

 

Mommy3: enjoyed that poem. I thought about it when I read my devotion from www.lwf.org, Dr. Adrian Rogers.

BIBLE MEDITATION:
"We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and
to be present with the Lord." 2 Corinthians 5:8

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
A man named Solomon Peas died. His tombstone in London reads:

"Beneath these clouds and beneath these trees lies the body of Solomon Peas.
But this ain't Peas - it's just the pod. Peas shelled out and went to God."

I like that.

That's what your body is. It's just a pod. What happens to a child of God
who has trusted Christ as his personal Savior? When he closes his eyes in this life,
he opens them in the next. Jesus did not say, "After two or three thousand
years, you'll be with Me in paradise." Jesus said, "Today, truly,
you'll be with Me in paradise" (Luke 23:43).

ACTION POINT:
Are you confident that if you died today that you'd be with Jesus in paradise?
If not, then confess your sins and believe upon His name to save you. Now, go and
tell someone!

 

Here's the church, here's the steeple...

I was working some off-duty security at a church pre-school today and saw a terrific painting of a little boy teaching this rhyme to a little girl.

My mama taught this to me when I was little and I taught it to my daughter.

Thanks for those links, Kent.

 

10-4, you're welcome. I'm a big fan of Max Lucado and how he presents the Gospel.

 

A.S.A.P.

Ever wonder about the abbreviation A.S.A.P.? Generally we think of it in terms of even more hurry and stress in our lives. Maybe if we think of this abbreviation in a different manner, we will begin to find a new way to deal with those rough days along the way. There's work to do, deadlines to meet;
You've got no time to spare, But as you hurry and scurry-
ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER

 

I like that.

Here's a few more:

FAITH - forsaking all I trust Him

SIN - selling into nothing

TGIF - thank God I'm forgiven

FROG - fully rely on God

IROCC - I rely on Christ completely

BUSY - being under Satan's yoke

JUICE - Justified by God, Under the Blood, In Christ forever, Changed by the Holy Spirit, Enpowered by His love

DEBT - doing everything but tithing

FEAR - false expectations appearing real
