The Purpose Driven Life has not doubt left a mark on 21st Century Evangelical Christianity. In a 2005 Survey conducted by George Barna, American pastors, leaders and ministers point out that it is one of the books that have influenced their ministries greatly. Wikipedia cites that it is “arguably one of the best-selling non-fiction” because of the fact that it has been “on the New York Times Best wholesaler Seller list for advice books for one of the longest periods in history. “ To date, more than 30 million copies of the book has been sold. In a nutshell, the Purpose Driven Life takes readers to a 40-day personal spiritual journey. The general outline of the book is that it presents God's five purposes for man here on earth. I used to have a copy of the book and I have read it from cover to cover. I forgot where I placed it. Recently a friend mentioned that she wanted to give me a copy of the book, she said that they are coming out with a new edition. Later on she discovered … [Read more...]
God’s response to atheist bus advertising
Atheist in London has raised £135,000+ (Close to $200,000.00 U.S) to engage in an active bus advertising campaign. About 800 buses all over England were tapped for the bus advertising campaign. Atheist says they not only plan to do it in the United Kingdom but that they will probably continue to spread it around the world. I can’t believe these people, spending so much money on bus advertising discrediting God. What on earth are they trying to achieve? They could have spent the money for other useful purposes to solve other world problems instead. (The only bright side of this is that they let the printers and the bus companies make some money) I heard recently that God decided to give them a taste of their own medicine, so He engaged in His own bus bus advertising campaign. Here it is: Thanks to Marhgil Macuha for giving the url for this “Atheist bus slogan generator.” Want to make your own bus advertising? Click here. Here’s my own bus advertising.

What the Gospel is truly about
Years ago while attending a Baptist Youth Congress, I heard that during the conference, a young man was taught what the gospel is all about by a Bible student. After saying the “sinner's Prayer” the young man was asked by his friends if he was already “saved.” With a look of surprise the young man replied “Saved ?” “Is that what being saved is” To my mind this young man doesn’t have the faintest idea on what the Gospel is truly all about. Unfortunately this scenario is repeated thousands of times every day even in the most orthodox of evangelical circles. The real message of what the Gospel is truly all about has been watered down to a gospel of “easy-believism.” Today most people when presented with this watered down gospel do not understand the commitment involved when one is explained what the Gospel is all about. Nevertheless, God has continued to raise men throughout the centuries to stand firm, steadfast and committed to communicating the truth about what the Gospel is as … [Read more...]

The parable of the old violin
The parable of the old violin is not one of the parables of Jesus. The parable of the old violin is not really the title of this inspirational piece. I decided to name it the "parable of the old violin" to optimize for the keyword "old violin." (Guerilla blogger’s strategy) I just love listening to a violin. Somebody playing a violin piece over portable baby monitors is certainly enough to make a baby sleep. The title of this wonderful poem is “The Touch of the Master's Hand.” This was written by Myra Brooks Welch who is known as the “poet with a singing soul.” This poem about an old violin has been converted into several well known songs known today with the same title. Watch this youtube video on the “parable of the old violin” and learn how the touch of the Master’s hand could make a difference in the price of the old violin.
