Light in this World

"Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil." - John 3:19

Let's take a look at the first six words, "Light has come into this world". That's where most people stop and ask themselves "are you sure?". How can there be light in such a cruel and chaotic world. People die unsaved, children are raped, prostitutes roam the streets, murderers plan their next target. Where is the light? Take a look at the next sentence, "..but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil". This is where darkness comes into play, there are now two sides. Light vs Dark. Classic Battle, no? Darth Vader vs Luke Skywalker. Coke vs Pepsi. The reason we don't see the light most of the time is because we are not making Christ our center, surrounding ourselves with Him. We are in the world's sinful darkness. That may sound "obvious" in a sort of a way but if so, why is it so hard to get through our heads? So many non-Christian's ask themselves everyday "If there is a God, why would he let all this happen?" This is mankind! We did this, not Him! God loves us and wants us to have free will. It means so much more to Him for us to freely love Him rather than feel forced to love Him. We had and have a choice whether or not to have the light in our lives. Without the light, you have no life. You are dead. Don't let the worldly darkness possess you. Heavenly light reigns over worldly darkness, anyday.

Thoughts Run Your Life

"Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life"

Is that true? Your thoughts run your life? Absolutely! There is a stream of thought going around nowadays that "thinking about it" is the safety net for our actions. We think that if we don't physically do or say something, then it never happened. Thats basically telling God he has no idea what's going on in your mind. God knows exactly what you think before you think about thinking about it. If that last sentence confused you, please call 1-800-ROOMS-TO-GO and ask for Tandra as your representative. Everyone has their weak points when it comes to their thoughts. As humans, our minds have been polluted by so many things in this worldly place. You might not curse out loud, but I'm sure you mumbled quite a few profanities in your head. You might not have punched the really annoying guy at work, but I'm sure the scene has gone through head a couple times. You might not say anything to the attractive girl walking by you, but you guys seem to know each other pretty well in your head. How do we keep these thoughts out of our mind? Surround yourself with Christ. Do you really think you will be muttering curse words in your mind when your reading the scripture? Do you think you're going to want to punch people when you're in a state of prayer? Do you think you're going to want to think about hot girls when you're intently singing the Lords praise? Block the thoughts of the world, it's possible! You can let your thoughts flow into actions once your only thought is Christ! Let us be just like Jesus.

I'm a Sinner

Being a Christian, we have always been told that were are sinners. The most common thing in prayer is to always ask for forgiveness. We ask for forgiveness because we are sinners. We are constantly asking for forgiveness because we are constantly sinning. We notice we are sinners and even admit that we are. The hardest thing to do as a sinner is not to admit that you are one, but actually attempt to change.

I want to apologize to my Father. I'm sorry I say I trust you when a lot of the times I actually don't. I'm sorry I ask for forgiveness knowing that I'm going to cause that same sin again. I'm sorry I lie knowing that you hate a lying tongue. I'm sorry that sometimes I can't be presented as the light of the world because of my behavior. I'm sorry that I'm so selfish enough to think more about myself than of You and others. I'm sorry that I don't read and study nearly as much as you want. I'm sorry that my prayers are sometimes guilt ridden just to get them out of the way. I'm sorry that I ask for so much yet give you little. I'm sorry I spend more time playing guitar and games than with you. I'm sorry I have hurt my friends who you have placed in my life to help me. I'm sorry I'm a good for nothing sinner who can't stand a chance in this world alone. I thank you for You, Your love, Your life! You still love me even after all these sins. The list can go on but yet you love me! Why!? Why do you love me so much? I have no words when it comes to explaining how grateful I am for Your love. I have never physically come close, but spiritually you are flowing through me like a river. I love you Father. So much.

Which days are truly fulfilling?

"Do not work for food that spoils, but food that endures.." - John 6:27

When I read these words, I had to pause. I took a moment and then realized I have to go write a blog, I have to share what I just felt. Did you read the verse? Read it again. One more time. This verse can be looked out in so many different ways but it hit me in one particular way. Always going for things that won't last, how common is that to you? It's very common for me! I can say there have been many days where I spent the whole day learning new guitar solos or playing games and watching movies with my best friends. Now you would figure that all sounds like a great day, right? There is just something different about the end of the day. When it gets to the end of the day, it does not feel full. It feels like you did nothing the whole day even though while you were doing it it felt very fulfilling. Those days will never be fulfilling. Those are the days that will perish. The days that matter are the days that are filled with food that endures. What is food? Jesus said that His Word is food! His amazing, gracefully given Word, that we all have a copy of, is our daily food! The days that we fill ourselves up with that food is the days that are fulfilled! The days that are remembered. The days that are worth living for.

Top 5 Favorite Non Christian Bands

1. Mute Math
- There is not one band who puts on a better show than these guys. Best concert anyone will attend. Darren King tops all drummers of his genre and uniqueness of the bands tops of bands of any genre.

2. Muse
- Matt Bellemay rips out insane vocals on top of some crazy guitar riffs. I have never heard so much be done by a 3 person band, they are all individually very talented and as a band come out the most chemically fused band I have ever seen.

3. John Mayer
- With his incredible lyrics, catchy melodies and insanely good vocals/guitar playing, John Mayer comes at a sloppy third because frankly he's a huge douchebag. John Mayer is one of the most inconsiderate and intolerable human beings ever to be this good at anything. Lucky for him his music is amazing.

4. Asking Alexandria
- These guys have definitely put together some of the most vile metal core screamo out there. Their lyrics are awful but that doesn't mask the outstanding rhythms and talent. Definitely a top notch choice of mine.

5. Kris Allen
- I loved the direction he headed after American Idol. His genre is perfect for him and his voice still shows why he won the whole competition. He may not have the greatest range but he sure makes up for it in the end.

Top 5 Favorite Christian Bands

1. David Crowder Band
- The David Crowder Band is definitely number one just for the fact that they are so much more unique and different from any other band to step foot near Six Steps Records or any Christian Label.

2. Chris Tomlin
- In a close second place, Chris Tomlin could almost be tied for first for his amazing worship filled music. His songs and melodies are blessed and utterly heart warming, they bring tears to eyes and just go into your soul.

3. The Devil Wears Prada
- Even though TDWP isn't a worship sensed band, they show that it doesn't matter what you play or how you play it as long as your heart is right with God and they have lived through worldy life and gotten past it with God which definitely deserves recognition. Plus they are the more hard core than most Non Christian hard core Bands! Bring it!

4. TobyMac
- Toby Mac is hands down the most crunk worship artist I have ever seen/heard. He knows how to get it down and get crunk! His rhymes are sick, melodies are thick and beats are Mac Daddy G! Warning: Listening to Toby Mac will give you Head Bobbing Syndrom.

5. Steve Fee
- Aside from what Fee has done in his life, his music is still amazing to me and deserves to be recognized. Awesome guitar sounds and great drum fills. I believe Fee will be back on his feet soon and ready to jam it up again!
