Little is known about this prophet and the period in which the prophecy applies. He had a terrible message for Israel and that the day of the Lord will be full of darkness and pain. (NIV)Joel 2:28-29, 32 “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. [29] Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. [32] And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, even among the survivors whom the Lord calls. Joel explains the double call of salvation and that we all can be saved. For surely the last days we now. For deliverance and been shown and the Spirit of the Lord has been poured down on all those who call on the name of the Lord.

Jonah was sent to Nineveh to preach God's word but refused to go. And his excuse. (NIV)Jonah 4:2 He prayed to the Lord, “Isn’t this what I said, Lord, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. It's amazing that we can get upset about the fact that God doesn't punish bad people forgetting our sins before him. (NIV)Jonah 2:2 He said: “In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and you listened to my cry. Ita It's amazing how even in the belly of giant fish. In pitch darkness, Jonah remembered the Lord. If it was me, I would be spending my time thinking of ways to get out. This is a true test of faith. (NIV)Jonah 3:10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on th...

I lost all my notes for the book of Job so I thought I should post the communion message I did this past sunday. Enjoy! I've just finished the book of Job and unlike our English bibles, it is part of the poetry section along with psalms, proverbs, ecclesiastes and songs of Solomon. The story of Job is a story that we can all identify with. Questions of "why we are here" or "why do the righteous experience pain" or "why does God seem distant during our tribulations".  I often ask those questions inwardly eventhough and a voice inside of me, similar to Job's friends, tells me there's no place for such questions or thoughts. That we have no right in questioning God and his judgement. And yet to deny those questions is to deny the very essence of being human im the first place. The book of Job deals with our weaknesses with pain, carelessness, faithlessness, anger and bitterness. But instead of suppressing those feelings, Job shows that i...

Album title - Viva La Vida This song is going to rock the concert No doubt!. You're the king of your castle and requires every ego-headed man and woman to "rule your world" and live life. Awesmone piano playing!

This was the third book of Solomon. This was when he was long in years and reflects on his days. It's q sharp considered to the Song of songs where God wasn't even mentioned. He suggests that pleasure and wisdom living have the same fate. We all are long forgotten. Striving to acquire either brings great distress. For everything is meaningless. For there're nothing better for a man than to enjoy the fruit of his hands. For toiling under the sun must bring enjoyment. Marriage should be seen with God in it just like a cord of three strands. For each can protect each other. For surely, the simple things in life should be praised and advertised as good. Whoever loves money has never enough. The labourer sleeps well for he enjoyed his toil under sun during the short days in his earth. Bring shoe to find enjoyment in our prosperity is a blessing from God. For we all pass through under the shadow. Thinking how we put ourselves through help so we can have enough money to enjoy...

Search for wisdom and seek understanding for through this you will learn the fear of the Lord. (Pr 2) Don't withold good from those who deserve it (Pr 3) Keep my commands and you will leave.

May you enjoy in the wife of your yout X h. May she satisfy me always. Captivated by her love. For man's ways are always before the Lord. (Pr 5) Consider the ant and its ways. Bind them upon your heart. For the prostitute reduces you t a loaf of bread. Wow! For truly that's what it is. Based on us spending money on such things, we provide a living for others. For such lacks judfement. (Pr 6) With her smooth talk, she seduced him. For her house is a highway to the grave. (Pr 7) To fear God is to hate evil and I hate pride and arrogance. Do I also hate pride in people? For surely it needs to start with me and my hou...

The Lord will crush kings with his might. For the Lord said to my Lord; sit at my right hand. (Ps 110) GGood will come to him who is righteous and generous.

For surely t...

42 - Viva La Vida Talks about ghosts and those are not dead but living in your dead. Creepy but can relate.

VhaaI remember you oh God and I grew faint. Has God forgotten how to be merciful. But I will remember our Lord. (Ps 77) Not hide God'd decrees but tell them to our children. The nations had forgotten what God had done.  For surely we need to remember what God has done in our lives so we can share it our children and the mistakes that our brothers ad sisters. For God remembered we are but flesh, a passing wind soon forgotten. So the Lord guided them like sheep but still they were rebellious. (Ps 78) Restore us oh God and shine your face. Revive us so we praise your holy name again. (Ps 80) If they would just listen to me how quickly I would subdue their enemies and restore them. I guess sometimes we just need to do what God wants and he will delivery us. When in high places we use our own understanding and wisdom to the peril of our people. (Ps 82) Blessed are those whose strength is in you. I'd rather be a doorkeeper in your house for one day than a 1000 years away...
