I haven’t posted here for a while due to a heavy workload, but I plan to ramp things up a bit this year. First up is this amazing new track from Christian rapper Tha Good Shepherd named Open My Eyes. The MP3 can be downloaded for Free Here.
The video shows footage from The Passion of the Christ, which is a film I really admire:
I’ve had a couple of online conversations with Tha Good Shepherd—and I believe he’s a true man of God, who puts his musical talents to use for the LORD.
A couple of weeks ago at Church, my Pastor, Paul Bedford, played a video to us in the congregation of a conversation that BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles held on air. If you’re not from Britain, and have no idea who this chap is, he the most popular DJ on radio, with his show reaching many millions of listeners.
Now, he’s not usually someone that would ever ‘promote Christianity’, however, watch the video below and listen what he has to say after he watched a TV program the night before. He was amazed to see that there is an actual Jesus-loving Church out there, as his previous experiences have been that of a religious nature.
The video is the footage Chris Moyles was watching, with the radio excerpt playing over the top. The actual footage is from a Church in Peterborough, UK, with believers been baptised whilst the congregation worship. It’s inspiring stuff…
It is evident that there is also a Christian on the radio team as well, which is quite a surprise to say the least. Anyway, I hope this video can encourage you—seeing that the Glory of God can be marvelled at, even in the most secular of environments.

Here’s a fantastic video I just discovered entitled “A Thousand Questions from Willow Creek Ministries.
If you cannot see this video, please view it on YouTube here.
This is what their site had to say about this video:
A Thousand Questions
This story, told in poetic language and music, is the fictional account of a young film-maker who is travelling the world looking at it through her unblinking lens.
She sees the beauty, the pain and destruction, the hope and disappointment, and she passionately asks God: WHY?
Why is mankind in such a mess?
Why has God allowed it to happen?
And what in the world can be done about it?
God’s answer will stir you.
I really recommend that you watch this video. Yeah, it’s 10 minutes long, but if you’re short on time, it really kicks off after 1 minute and 30 seconds (to skip stright to the main message of the video). You have to see it to understand what a powerfully movie it is. God bless those involved in its production!
“What Percentage of Europeans Believe in God?” you may wonder. Well, according to the folks who produced this chart at Wikipedia, it depends on where you live.
Here in the UK, it looks like about 30%, although only about 1% or less attend church—with WAY fewer actual Born-again Christians, opposed to pew-warming religious types. Obviously some will attend mosques, etc.
I’d just like to point out though, that whilst Romania and Turkey seem to be at the forefront with 90%, they don’t beat satan and his demons with a staggering 100% belief in God. Moreover, that’s a 100% belief in the true God, our LORD Jesus Christ.
What’s the point of this short article you may ask? Well, I’d just like to say that a belief in God won’t get you into Heaven. If that was so, the satan would be there. Hell isn’t a place for murderers, and Heaven isn’t a place for good neighbours! No, you need Jesus—and He’s the ONLY way. Please don’t live a complacent life, where you think that Jesus will grant you eternity in Heaven because you were Baptised as a baby, or do good works for charity. You need relationship with your Creator to be remembered by him:
John 14:6 (King James Version) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
