• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

EASTER...Good Job God

MurphyBrown... I could not agree more. I'm that that same category. Thanks God. You loved me before you knew me. Did I surprise you?! I doubt it. Thanks for having my picture on your refrigerator.

I go to this amazing huge church. We'll see 8500+ folks this Easter. Some, we only see once a year. Some twice. I'm blessed to be singing in an octet this Easter with choir and 40 piece orchestra. This is not us, but this is what we're going to present, pretty much just like this....

AMEN.. God bless you all..
 
Beautiful choir presentation. That is the kind of music that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

Was involved in church orchestra for many years so appreciate the music very much.
 
From a friend on FB:

'How much are you worth? "When we total the monetary value of the elements in our bodies and the value of the average person's skin, we arrive at a net worth of $4.50!"

When God wanted to purchase you and me, He paid a JESUS to have us, to fellowship with us, to love us and teach us to love one another. This day marks first annual Sabbath or high-day - the first day of Unleavened Bread. An unleavened life is all God ask of us. The flesh will perish like the grass. Who we really are will stand and see Him. We are the resurrected prized purchase of our Father.'

I am humbled by the price paid for me...
 
Teddy & I would like to add our "High Fives" & Amens as well

"The benefits [of the resurrection] are innumerable. To list a few: Our illnesses don't seem nearly so final; Our fears fade and lose their grip; Our grief over those who have gone on is diminished; Our desires to press on in spite of the obstacles is rejuvenated... Our identity as Christians is strengthened as we stand in the lengthening shadows of saints down through the centuries, who have always answered back in antiphonal voice: 'He is risen, indeed!'" --Charles Swindoll
 
As a musician, I so enjoyed the choir/orchestra rendition of "I Then Shall Live". I sing this as well, and it is one of my favorites. Did you know that the Resurrection was the best joke ever played on the Devil? Here he is, thinking, it is finished, I've got Him now, and three days later, He arose! My brother, a United Methodist Minister, who will be retiring in June after 43 years, has held a Holy Humor Sunday on the Sunday after Easter to celebrate.

To all of our Christian friends, a blessed Easter; and to those who celebrate Passover, may your holiday be filled with joy and peace.

700 years before Jesus, Isaiah wrote:

Isaiah 53:1-12 NKJV

Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.

Amen
 
Happy Easter Everyone

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
