The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
Wonderful, insightful piece. I love the the sensitive wording. Where are the ITMH “praying hands”?
I felt a little less knowledgeable of YouTube than I should be to publish about them. Of course, Craig D’s experience was enough to make me write the article.
So, I went there to find a good worship song (not as easy as you might think). I sorted on the keyword ‘religion’. I sorted those videos from the highest volume dow. I stopped after I went through their top 200 religion videos. I would never think of clicking on a single one!
Cast your vote.
Evend though I am not a lover of contemporary worship, I loved “Hillsong Desert Song”. I was disappointed that “. . .Healing Rain was disabled”.
Vicki;
It would be great if I could create worship music like you. The rest of us need great worship music, like this. It is critical to our life (eternal and current) to give praise to Him.
It is fantastic that these people give this to us for free.
Thanks for the “heads up” on Healing Rain. I guess I need to more closely monotor my posts. We’ll fix it or pull it.
Incredible. I think this is how I might have to start each day.
That’s funny, Vicki, because I do start my day with this, You are Good and the Desert Song. I love them all, and I listen to them all throughout the day. That is why I made them separate posts.
I also end many of my posts with other neat music videos that glorify Him. Hee hee, that way I get people to read some of my letters.
I have listened to this about 100 times in the past couple days. I even went on-line to see if I could find the musical score, and I think I found the same one played here! I cannot wait to play it in our church!
Wow, that is great. I am sure the congregation will get into it. Hey, only 100 times??
I AM A CATHOLIC BY CHOICE-BORN AGAIN FOR 33 YEARS. I AM HAPPY AND VERY BLESSED BY MY CHURCH BUT I BELIEVE IN SUPPORTING WITH PRAYER OTHER MINISTRIES. I HAVE A COUPLE OF PRAYER LISTS ON MY FB AND I WOULD LOVE TO PRAY FOR YOUR MINISTRY! GOD BLESS!!
Very true..I once read a comment by Jim Cymbala of Brooklyn Tabernacle to the same subject; (paraphrase! I don’t remember exact wording!)..that it’s not necessary to make a pilgrimmage to any given building or geographical location..the curtain of the temple was rent in two when Christ was Crucified and the Holy Spirit was sent into all the earth at the preaching of the Good News of Jesus Christ..wherever you are, that’s good enough!
Hi Patricia
We are so honored to be blessed with your prayers. We know that that will bring strong results through Him. We are pleased to add you to our prayers, too.
