This video jam titled "See Him as He Is" comes from a sermon preached by Dr. Vincent G. Artese titled "See Him as He Is".This sermon jam draws a clear line between what is true Christianity as Christ taught it and what is not. We see through the writings of the Apostle John that a true Christian has the seed of Christ planted within them when they are born again and this hope grows and increases as one becomes more and more like Christ. It is a living hope that continues as one walks by faith and God empowers believers with the Holy Spirit. At the same time John speaks of those who do not receive Christ and are described by the apostle as having the wrath of God upon them. Christ came to free people from their sins, to set up His Church, and set up His kingdom. Those that do not receive Jesus Christ as Lord will not be changed and therefore have no hope for eternal life. In John's first epistle the apostle shows his readers that the plan of God is the purification of sinners and that those who sin are of the devil. When one sins they no longer display the holiness of God. Christ came to free us from sin, He came to empower people to obey the commands of God and bear fruit. All Christian must be dowers of the word, remain obedient to their heavenly father, and abide in Christ.

God loves us even more than his creations. We are His most cherished creation. Never forget that!

This simple act of kindness had unsuspecting shoppers breaking down in the aisle. It’s incredible to see how one man’s gesture can completely change someone’s day. Let’s keep this chain of kindness going!

This video is the fifth in a multi-part series entitled "Healing Relationships through Forgiveness.” It deals with the fifth principle. Principle 5: We must forgive ourselves for our sin as God has forgiven us. When we have sinned or done something against another (spouse, child, friend, etc.), we have first sinned against God and must reconcile with Him. Though we may know we are forgiven, sometimes we can't forgive ourselves. In this section, Dr. Jones shares how we are to forgive ourselves.

An old Vineyard song, this is Lincoln Brewster's rendition. A pretty simple song lyrically, but it springs from Paul's words in Philippians 3:7-11. I quoted that passage in the middle of my video, so you'll have to watch the video to find out what it says (or you'll have to pull out your Bible, either way, it's all good). The song was written by Marc James.

(P.S. - I'm fortunate enough to live a short distance from Lincoln's home church, Bayside Granite Bay in Granite Bay, CA, so I get to hear him sing frequently)

In Deuteronomy 31:6 God tells us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. This Matt Redman song pretty much echos that promise - "never once did we ever walk alone, never once did You leave us on our own." Yes, You are faithful, God.

From the album "10,000 Reasons", written by Matt Redman, Jason Ingram, and Tim Wanstall.

The word "redeem" means to buy something back, to return something to your possession. In the Christian sense it represents Jesus' sacrifice to free us from the bonds of sin. This song by Big Daddy Weave talks about how Jesus' sacrifice on the cross has redeemed us and made us new and whole. 1 John 1:9 says "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." So, redemption starts with Jesus' forgiveness of our sins, if we are willing to confess them. And when we do, 2 Corinthians 5:17 says "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come."

A friend of mine at Celebrate Recovery asked me to make a YouTube video for the song "Changed" by Rascal Flatts. Even though I was a big country music fan for many years I had never heard the song before, since nowadays I listen mostly to Christian music. But "Changed" is a country song with a Christian message. It is especially meaningful to me right now since I have just begun a recovery program for alcohol abuse. In these first 90 days of recovery there have been some big "changes", for which I am very grateful. A lot of the lyrics in this song are my past story and my current story. Thank You, God, that now I have "eyes wide open".

A sure-fire #1 song if I ever heard one. Catchy, with a couple of stories, and with a message about acts of love. Co-written by Jason Gray and Jason Ingram (is it my imagination of does Jason Ingram co-write 75% of all popular Christian songs?) I used some pictures from several ministries at my church, like mission trips, AWANA, and Vacation Bible School. That's my lovely wife surrounded by the four Guatemalan girls.
