Worship: Does God need it?
Athiests would argue that God is a egotistical and conceited father who craves worship. The Bible tells us that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is self sufficient, there is nothing we can give him that he hasn't already given us. Giving God our worship makes the best sense as a way for us to keep our focus on God and his grace.
The point is to keep GOD humbly, truthfully, fearfully FIRST. Sing when no one else knows you are (but him).
Wise unto salvation
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Timothy 3:1-17, KJV

New Link- Gv247.tv
There's a new link to the right guys. GV247.tv (Global vision Channel) is a phenomenal source of information and edification for the body of Christ, and I think you will agree with me when you spend some time there. As with anything I promote on this site all things must fall in line with the Bible, i will not intentionally post/link (to) something that I feel is not biblically sound.
The aim of GV247.tv is to give a medium for which learned Christian apologists can defend the faith to a world which sees Christianity through the eyes of a hateful media.

I have no personal association with the site.

Dead to Sin
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
Romans 6:11-18, KJV

DCB- I'm trying to make you sing/The glory of it all
The video was taken from the DC*B (David crowder band) Remedy Club tour DVD. They are the first two songs the band sings and I absolutely love the first one (I'm trying to make you sing). God has a funny way of getting your focus back on him even when you least expect it and have been wayward for too long.

Trip Lee- Between 2 worlds
I had to post this video since I'm a big fan of the Dallas Cowboys and the guys over at uprise.co.uk. I love the professionalism of the video and I know that if this gets out there (the video, the message, and the album being promoted) God will do great work on the hearts of young people every where.
Christ WILL be back for his church, It's up to us to sell out completely to him and the holy spirit will do the rest. Christ is forever KING - absolutely nothing will change that.
Christianity- most persecuted world religion. (WARNING:Graphic)
********************** WARNING: Graphic content *********************
This video breaks my heart. I have lived in a third world country but thankfully never had to witness the persecution of Christians in this manner even though it was very present. I am thankful for my freedoms in this great country (the United States) and will keep my persecuted Christian brothers and sisters in my prayers, I hope you do too.
The following is a direct link to an article from 2009 stating that Christianity is now the world's most persecuted religion. It also has a list of countries in which Christians are most persecuted in.

DEBATE: Did Jesus rise from the dead?
Mr. Nabeel Qureshi in his rebuttal says he will not answer Osama’s mutilation of the text, but here I will do my best to answer most of the pertinent accusations made during Osama’s opening statement against the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Osama Abdallah in his opening statement has taken the wording of ‘wounded’ and placed the fulfilment of this prophecy at a different time in Jesus’ suffering. Isaiah 53:5-6 tells us that the messiah would be wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquity, and was Jesus not? When Pontios Pilate ordered for Jesus to be beaten to appease the crowd that was in fact the fulfilment of prophecy (John 19:1-4). The following Old Testament verse Isaiah 53:7 says that the messiah would not open his mouth and Mr. Abdallah claims Jesus broke that prophecy by calling out to God (the father) on the cross. Mr. Abdallah is again taking the fulfilment of prophecy out of context. We have established that the messiah would be wounded and he was, then he would be silent like a lamb before the slaughter and he was silent (Mark 15:2-5, Luke 23:8-10, John 19:7-11). Mr. Adallah claims Jesus was not buried with the Rich, but Joseph of Arimathea (the man who buried Jesus) was a counsellor who in those days was well to do (Luke 23:50). During the times of the Romans criminals who were crucified were left to decay on the cross, if not for joseph asking to have Jesus buried he would have died like every other poor ‘criminial’. I will say though that Mr. Abdallah is right when he says one of these books has to be a lie, I wonder which book fits that mold, the Bible or the Quran.
Osama in his rebuttal references a Roman Catholic book to make a claim that the Bible might have been tampered with (or in his words altered). Let it be known that Roman Catholicism is a heretic religion and is not based on true Christianity, so that being said I ‘think’ Mr. Abdallah’s argument carries no weight. Most of the things said during Osama’s last rebuttal (especially concerning Jesus being influenced by Satan) is simply nuts, so I’ll leave no comment on that. The subject of the debate is whether or not Jesus resurrected but Mr. Abdallah instead goes completely off topic in a panic and refused to challenge the truth of the crucifixion. Even during his conclusion Mr. Abdallah refused to discuss the topic and sounded like he was just grasping for straws all over the place. Interesting video none the less.
