He Will Never Leave Us or Forsake Us

Here is a little Sunday special. Stand By Me played on location by a small multitude of artists from countries all around the world.

Watching it, I couldn't help but think of our inability and insufficiency in this life. And thankfully we do have someone who not only stands by us, but stands for us, and carries us through everything.

Give Me Jesus

I discovered this excellent music video by Fernando Ortega on Justin Taylor's blog a few days ago. It's Christ-centered and very well done!

On Vimeo's site, the description says,

"This music video was produced for the December 2007 Billy Graham Television Special in honor of Ruth Bell Graham."

A Tribute To YSR

A famous Telugu Christian artist recently wrote a song in tribute to our late chief minister, YS Rajasekhara Reddy. His team produced a video to go along with it.

By watching this video can get a sense of the ethos that has pervaded the nation during the last few weeks.

Treasuring Him

This video asks and gloriously answers the question;

How Does Paul Make Christ Look Great In His Life And Thus Not Waste It?

Before you watch another youtube video, watch this one.

Hallelujah! All I Have Is Christ

Today I am posting a music video clip from this year's NEXT conference. I thank God that songs like this are still being written!

The Next conference featured excellent speakers including; Joshua Harris, Kevin DeYoung, D.A. Carson and Sinclair Ferguson amongst others. Messages dealt with foundational topics such as The Preeminence of Christ, Christ's Life, Death, Resurrection and Return, and Just Do Something. (knowing the will of God, very helpful) You can browse and download the messages here.

I recommend that you read these powerful lyrics. They are worth meditating on.

ALL I HAVE IS CHRIST

I once was lost in darkest night
Yet thought I knew the way
The sin that promised joy and life
Had led me to the grave
I had no hope that You would own
A rebel to Your will
And if You had not loved me first
I would refuse You still

But as I ran my hell-bound race
Indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state
And led me to the cross
And I beheld God’s love displayed
You suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me
Now all I know is grace

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life

Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone
And live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands
Could never come from me
Oh Father, use my ransomed life
In any way You choose
And let my song forever be
My only boast is You
