Realizing God

image

How do I begin to convince someone of the beauty in a relationship with God? That there is true joy and peace with God? I often struggle with that. The world needs to know God’s existence. The world needs to know God’s love. The world needs to know God’s will. The world needs to know God’s plan. The world needs to NEED God.

Many times as a Christian we get caught up in the holier than thou do-gooder mentality, telling everybody how wrong they are. Telling them how right we think we are. Telling them the bad news.

Perhaps this is wrong.

People don’t want to be told that because they immediately shut down and get offended. Not to say there isn’t a time and place for that approach, but this day and age I start to wonder if people have decided there is no God to begin with.

If you have blessed me with your eyes and your time, I want to tell you the good news. It’s too good to keep to myself. God is a wonderful creator. He is real. You can see it in the beautiful creation. These masterpieces such as trees, planets, nature, came from a brilliant artist! You came from a brilliant artist. He was and He is.

God loves you. He really does. He created you to love Him. We spend a lifetime seeking our purpose in life. We were created to give glory to Him who created us. When we are doing that, our joy is unexplainable– and we bring joy to others.

God understands your struggles. Everybody here has a struggle, a pain, a plight. God wants you to lean on Him. Tell Him your sorrows. Bring Him your burdens. Really! All of them. Let Him help. Literally place them in His hands.

God takes care of His creation. Look at your life. Look around. Look at what you have. Look at all the good things you have, even if it’s simply breathing and walking around. No it hasn’t been always easy, but you’re here. God has taken care of you. Really!

When you come to realize these beautiful facts, this good news, this wonderful need for such a wonderful God, it becomes easy. It becomes easy to crave more knowledge about this creator. I recommend the Holy Bible, His thoughts and His Word preserved for years. It becomes easy to ask yourself if you are bringing glory to your creator in your day to day life. Nobody has to tell you what you’re doing wrong because you judge yourself against what God desires of His creation. And you love Him enough to make changes.

I don’t have to say much. I need only highlight our wonderful God and His wonderful creation and His love for ALL. When you begin to look at God, really look at God, you then begin to look at yourself and the world differently…and for the better. When each person begins to see this way, God’s way, that’s how you change the world.

Love you all. Thank you, God.

The Misinterpretation of Love

Love

What the world says about love:
Love me no matter what.
Love is love.
Love is always a good thing.
Love is acceptance.
We’re in love so it’s okay

What God says about love:
1 John 2:15 KJV
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Matthew 10:37 KJV
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

John 14:15 KJV
If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 12:43 KJV
For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

John 3:16 KJV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

1 John 4:8 KJV
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

Love is truly a beautiful thing! Not only is it beautiful, but it’s necessary. It means so much to the world. It’s what we live for, work for, fight for and die for.

Love is powerful. In fact, love is so powerful that the misunderstanding of love and or the misuse of love can be damaging, misleading and even deadly.

Love is then no longer beautiful.

A man cheats on his wife because he loves another woman. Is this beautiful love? It’s okay as long as they love each other…right?

Another works everyday, misses church and has no time for his family because he is focused on money and success. He…loves it. Is this what love should be?

Is love the right kind of love when it conflicts with another love? Which one is right?

So then all love isn’t good and beautiful love.

Love is also no longer beautiful on the surface when it is coupled with discipline, correction or truth.

More Bible examples of love:
God disciplines those He loves.
Speaking the truth in love.

But wait! Love is supposed to feel good! So if the truth hurts, this isn’t love… But it is.

If you love me you would…

Accept who I am? No. What you’re really wanting to avoid is correction and accountability under the protection of love.

Not lay a finger on your child. Is not disciplining your child love?? Does that help your child?

Live and let live. To not correct in love and just let the world be as it is is to live and let DIE. If you see me headed to my doom and you do not say something because you don’t want to hurt my feelings, you have misinterpreted love.

So…

Love me no matter what: I do love you, but at some point that love will come in the form of correction, honesty or discipline.

Love is love: yeah but not all love is really love.

Love is always a good thing: are you sure about that?

Love is acceptance: To accept is not to condone. For me to say it’s wrong does not negate the love, it proves it.

God knows love. He is love. He shows love in sacrifice. He loves us. But He corrects us. He tells us when we’ve erred. He loves all but He also judges righteously enough to reward those who obey and punish those who do not.

If you truly believe in love, apply love this way: if you love me you will keep my commandments.

Most importantly, Jesus loved enough to suffer and die for all who DO NOT love Him. Even the very ones who killed Him. That’s Love.

Don’t misunderstand love. Don’t love things God hates. Don’t use love as a crutch. Don’t use love to overrule doing what’s right. Don’t say the person that corrects you or tells you the truth doesn’t love you. Fight for, live for, work for the right kind of love. Understand real love.

This will make all the difference in the world.

Dance Out Your Faith with These Songs!

Being an artist myself, I kept thinking about it! What if someone made Christian dance music?? Like David Guetta or Calvin Harris, but with Christian themes and content? That would be crazy. I’m gonna do it! Well, a few artists have made it happen and music fans like myself have been the beneficiary of it! Here are a few artists that are in my rotation right now!

Britt Nicole – “Amazing Life”

Britt Nicole

Britt Nicole

I discovered Britt Nicole listening on Pandora Music and started to take notice. She has released quite a few albums that seem to perfectly mix pop music and Christian themes almost seamlessly! “Amazing Life” can be heard on her latest effort “Gold” now available.

Capital Kings

Capital Kings


Capital Kings – “I Feel So Alive”
Creating remixes for artists from Britt Nicole to Group1Crew, these kids are definitely out to make some noise for the Lord. After hearing thier remixes, I wondered what they could create on thier own. This song is off of  their debut, “Capital Kings”.

Beckah Shae

Beckah Shae


Beckah Shae “Incorruptible”

Beckah Shae keeps on pushing the boundaries of Christian music with ballads, hip-hop soul, even singing over acapella beat boxing with “Scripture Snacks”. Google her! She is nice! Her latest joint is called “Incorruptible” and it a monster that should follow Rihanna on the radio. But this song reminds us of God’s promises through Jesus!



Group1Crew

Group1Crew


Group1Crew – “Freq Dat”

Group1Crew, the Christian version of the Fugees (for the old heads) or the Black Eyed Peas (for the newbies). No, this one isn’t really talking about Christian content, but that’s what they do! This record is a clean party record minus the get-drunk, get-high content. Check out thier latest album “Fearless” for songs like “His Kind of Love” that talks about the love Jesus has for us. Rock to this one!



Press Play

Press Play


Press Play – “Just Like Lightning”

Stumbled upon these kats listening on Pandora! Not sure what direction they go, but it’s all energy and outspoken devotion to God. They’ve releasd a few albums. Check out their catalog on iTunes. Their latest album is called “World Anthem”.

Yes! The first installment from your friendly Christian Music Pusher! Let me know what you think about these songs! There are more out there like Plumb “Don’t Deserve You” from her album “Need You Now”. That’s it for now. Stay tuned and be blessed!
