The Real American Idol

Sidewalk Singer


Back in the day talented singers and musicians would practice their trade in clubs, pubs and on street corners also known as buskin.  
Sidewalk Singer is a film that is so true to the life of a Christian. Every true Christian suffers persecution in some way, as the bible states in so many places of the New Testament.

Watching Kris Kivi character, in this movie brought to reality, a reminder of my own Christian walk.  Kris lost his family due to a traffic accident, he is a practicing Christian before the tragedy and remains so after, but life events sometime leave a stain on the soul.
 In the time of Jesus problems in a persons life were looked on as God punishing our sins, and sometime that may have been the case, even though we have a loving God, sins never go unpunished unless there covered by the blood of Jesus. 
God hasn’t finished with Kris he is a good example of a real Christian his life style proves this. What church is he attending? He is ministering on the street and spreading the word of God through song to his listeners. I would call that street ministry. When people say to me that they don’t need to go to church to be a Christian I totally agree as long as they are in fellowship
with other believers and sharing Gods love. God never saved up to hide the light he has put in us!
The power of this movie is that a man who loved God lost everything family, house and what people hold dear in this material world, but he never seem to lose his praise! God can work through any circumstance!
This film carries a strong Christian message of faith and forgiveness. A message to encourage us to move on with our lives like a solider fighting the good fight of faith. You will be encouraged and blessed watching this movie.

It truly has the Gospel factor!

Pentecost

Start of The Church Pour out a double measure Lord is my prayer for today! I noticed there was an extended length of ‘Thunder and Lighting’ yesterday in Wales, early Saturday morning about 5 am. Could this be a sign that God is ready to release the promised, former and latter rain! Time will tell. I have heard a lot of good news from Christian ministers, that people are starting to be drawn into churches this year; something has started to stir people. Pentecost the day the New Testament church started, I’m not talking about the denomination ‘Pentecost’ with the evidence of tongue talking! No I am talking about Pentecost with the Power to witness of Jesus as the Messiah!             Acts 1:8 A lot can be said about what Jesus intended His church (body) to be like; but too many self-appointed  Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Pastors and Teachers are running things (the church).    Ephesians 4:8 If Jesus was walking ...

Muslims Say Jesus Never Died

Image
Did Jesus Really Die Friday acknowledged as the day when Jesus, the Son of God was crucified by orders from Pontius Pilot. Although Muslims will say Jesus was never killed, but the truth is, if Jesus never died Christianity is a lie. It might be a strange event to follow a leader who died. I would not be so ignorant to do such a thing.  You see Buddha, Mohamed and Abraham died etc…  The difference is Jesus died then rose from the dead three days later. Now you might say ‘well that happened 2000 years ago’ I would also agree with that statement, without a shadow of contradiction. The bible teaches us that the death of Jesus Christ, was to take our place, Romans 5 explains this fact,  The strange thing is the Quran Surat Maryam 19:33 even stated that Jesus was going to die! What a strange fact to be found in a book which the religious Muslims leaders teach, Jesus never died. They claim, God saved him by taking Jesus to heaven (pity he did not do the same fo...
