The promise of God’s comfort is so wonderful that it really is beyond description.

"God Himself" | Matthew Smith | OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

I found this song simple and beautiful. Take a few minutes and meditate on the message.

The promise of God’s comfort is so wonderful that it really is beyond description. I love the way this song points to it without trying to explain it.

Lyrics:

In the day when silent sorrow
Seems to shake me to the core
Then I hear the heavenly comfort,
“You will weep no more.”

God Himself will dry your tears
God Himself will soothe your fears

In the day when earthly weakness
Weighs your weary spirit down
All around you seems a burden
All above you seems a frown

God Himself will dry your tears
God Himself will soothe your fears

In the day when sin oppresses
And the battle rages strong
When the victory seems doubtful
Or triumphant seems the wrong

God Himself will dry your tears
God Himself will soothe your fears
God Himself will dry your tears
God Himself will soothe your fears

Oh I hear the heavenly comfort,
“You will weep no more.”

“Embrace the Life God Has Given You” | Dr. John Piper

It does not matter what you are mourning, know that God is with you!

I found this video by Dr. John Piper both interesting and thought provoking.

We do not always know how to respond to our sorrow. Because we are in the middle of our jumbled up thoughts, we struggle to make sense of what’s up or down. But, that does not mean that there is not a way to mourn that is explicitly Christian. That we can’t be reminded and encouraged in and through the pain and grief we feel.

I find Dr. Piper’s thoughts helpful. It does not matter what you are mourning, know that God is with you!

A Short Film | “Riva” by Noble Lure

A beautiful short film by Christopher Wiegand re-imagining the story of the woman with an issue of blood in Mark 5.

If you need twelve minutes of distraction, use this short film to fill it. You won’t regret it.

Beautifully dramatized, visually striking, and the score is just as poignant.

Description from the creator:

Led by a mysterious compass, a homeless woman embarks on a perilous journey to find healing for her broken hands.

/// Adapted from Mark 5:34 \\

He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

Film is produced by Chris Wiegand of Noble Lure.

Christian Cuevas | “To Worship You I Live”

Great rendition of “To Worship You I Live” by Christian Cuevas, The Voice 2016 contestant.

Verse 1
Away away from the noise
alone with you
away away to hear your voice
and meet with you
nothing else matters my one desire is

Chorus
To worship you I live
to worship you I live I live to worship you
To worship you I live
to worship you I live I live to worship you

Tag
oh oh

Verse 2
Away away, away away from the noise alone with you
Away away to hear your voice and meet with you
It’s been a while but hear my heart cry again

Video Spotlight | “What is the particular genius of the constitution?”

Sometimes you can learn a lot from a movie. With Honors is one of my favorites.

In light of all that is happening in the political realm of the United States.

If you have not seen the movie With Honors, I would encourage you to do it. It’s a great movie. Probably one of my favorites.

What do you want to do when you think about the Lord?

How He saved me, how He raised me,
How He filled me, with the Holy Ghost.
How He healed me, to the uttermost. Continue reading “Sounds of Liberty | “When I Think About the Lord””

Lauren Daigle | “Trust in You”

This is an interesting song because she speaks about trust in God when God does not do what we want him to do. This is a perspective that many people have lost in our world. God is not a genie. He is the Lord of all the earth and all that is. We should not be putting expectations on God that he has never been under any obligation to satisfy anyway.

The Norton Hall Band | “He Will Hold Me Fast”

https://youtu.be/0345Ls4IJf4

When I fear my faith will fail,
Christ will hold me fast;
When the tempter would prevail,
He will hold me fast.
I could never keep my hold
Through life’s fearful path;
For my love is often cold;
He must hold me fast.

He will hold me fast,
He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so,
He will hold me fast.

Those He saves are His delight,
Christ will hold me fast;
Precious in his holy sight,
He will hold me fast.
He’ll not let my soul be lost;
His promises shall last;
Bought by Him at such a cost,
He will hold me fast.

For my life He bled and died,
Christ will hold me fast;
Justice has been satisfied;
He will hold me fast.
Raised with Him to endless life,
He will hold me fast
‘Till our faith is turned to sight,
When He comes at last!
