Praise the Lord

Isn’t life beautiful? I know I don’t blog on here often, rarely would be a better description. I do feel the need to every once in a while though. Today I just wanted to talk about how wonderful life can be. My life has been full of many trials and heartache over the years. I don’t however consider myself unfortunate, there are many who have gone through much worse than me. My main point is how incredibly fast life can turn itself around. It seems that when life is at its darkest, fortune is just around the corner if people would only keep their faith.

Today as every day I would like to thank the Lord for all the blessings in my life.

Christian chain spam

I received this email from a loved one recently. While I appreciate the message this is really an amazing monument to Jesus I'm not sure I care for the message at the end. I am not a fan of chain spam as it is. You know the ones that say send this to 10 people and Bill Gates will show up at your house in five minutes with a million dollars wrapped in a bow, or some other ludicrous claim. They are harmless yet annoying. This one however I found particularly offensive.


You have to see these pictures. I would love to see it in person. This is
about 70 miles from Amarillo outside of town called Groom, TX .
(This must have been an awesome labor of love.)
Read message at the end of pictures!
These are the pictures of the crucifixion of Christ
Sculptured from metal by a man near Amarillo, TX ...
The crosses are made of metal also. The man did
this out of the kindness of his heart.
Someone donated the land
On which to erect them.
Who is Jesus?
HE IS JESUS
WHO IS HE?





















If you believe in God and in Jesus
Christ His Son .. Send this to all on
Your buddy list.
If not just ignore it.
If you ignore it, just remember that Jesus said.
'If you deny me before man, I will deny you
before my Father in Heaven.
You must send them to 8 people.
In 8 minutes you will receive something you have
long awaited.



First let me reiterate that I do have faith I do believe in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I also believe the only way to heaven is through him. I just find it offensive when an email tells me that I am denying my Lord by not forwarding some chain email. I think it is kind of funny that these goofy threats at the end of chain spam have evolved to the point of threatening hell.Such a great message to send to our fellow man believer or not.

The unfortunate part is that the story and pictures are great. The statues at Cross Ministries must be absolutely amazing. The pictures in the email don't begin to show just how immense that big cross is. Check Cross Ministries for a better view. I would love to see these one day. I wonder if rather than continue this chain with offensive babble could we say something like "Wow what a glorious thing, why not let your friends know about this wonderful tribute to our glorious Lord Jesus." Better yet leave "If you believe in God and in Jesus Christ His Son .. Send this to all on Your buddy list" and leave it at that. I don't know I'm not great at writing letters. I don't like chain mail. I just feel the message would be better served with something positive instead of threats.

Thanks for reading my rant and God Bless,
Jim

A quick note from Christian Jim about Britney Spears and Anna Nicole Smith

I just want to say that all of this publicity about Britney Spears is going way too far. No matter what you may think of how provocative her videos and actions may have been. This girl needs help and Prayer not these paparazzi in her face making it worse. I for one will spare a moment in my prayer to add Britney Spears and anna nicole smith and their family also.

Now I realize this may not be of huge importance to the Christian community, but when we see a soul in trouble is it not our duty to ask the lord to help that individual?


Thanks and GOD Bless!

Ray Boltz The Anchor Holds Great Christian Strength

Hello all just a quick post to anyone going through trials and tribulations right now please check out this post on my christian music Blog. It's great song and video I got from youtube. This song helps me to pull through when I am feeling weak, The emotion the profession of Faith. To be hold on in the face of the storm, To ride it out even though the pain and loss can seem extreme. There is only one true way to make it through times like that. Through our Faith in our Heavenly Father and his Son who died so that we might live Jesus. Praise be to our Lord and savior Jesus. May we be filled with the Holy Spirit so we can witness to the many in need.


Great Ray Boltz Song


Thank You All and God Bless!

Sylvester Stallone Christian or What?

"There's a point where the body stops and inner strength begins.It really begins from the soul - from God." Sylvester Stallone


I know for some this may be old news. I still think it is pretty interesting. I am impressed that some celebrities are now finally openly discussing their faith. This outlet can have the power to bring many more to see the glory of our God.

I do believe that some of Hollywood is bearing false witness as a marketing ploy, but when it come to Stallone I believe he has been touched by Christ's glory and has found his faith again.


Rocky Balboa's Sylvester Stallone talks about his faith


What do you think?

If you look at the Rocky franchise there really is a positive message of faith. Some leaders have even started using the films as teaching tools.
