Welcome!

Hey guys!

Anyone wondering what JC stands for? If you're thinking what I'm thinking, you are correct. That's right! Jesus Christ. (Please, don't roll your eyes at me.) Yeah, I know what you're thinking: Oh, no! Not another Jesus FREAK! Well, I hate to disappoint you, but I am a believer, Christian, and even a Jesus FrEaK (If that's what you want to label me as, that's o.k. by me.) But the main reason why I've decided to start this blog, is not only to proclaim my love for Jesus, but to explain the many reasons behind my love for Him. I believe that by doing so, my audience, (you guys), may be more receptive to what I have to say about Him.

In addition to that, I would like to give you a little inside scoop on who He REALLY is. I am aware that He has been misrepresented by many. As a result, many misconceptions, preconceived notions, and stereotypical beliefs have been formed about Him. Many are skeptical. Others believe God is a superstition. And still others, believe that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is nothing more than a folkloric tale; told from generation to generation. But what if it's not? What if He's real and alive? Sitting at right hand of God, eager to be allowed into your heart? Eager to show you His love, compassion, mercy, and grace? Eager to bring you hope, salvation, and forgiveness? What if these are not just empty words, recited from generation to generation. What if these words are full of life-giving truth?

What then?

Think about it.

Prayer: An Act of Worship


Prayer... What is it? A conversation with God? A means through which you can talk to Him about your troubles, your burdens, and your heart's desires? A means through which to plead for the forgiveness of our sins? (Mind you, genuine repentance must come first.) Well, the answer is: Yes, yes, and yes. Prayer is all of that; but there's more to it. Much, much more...

Prayer is the channel through which we have the privilege to fellowship with the One who made us. Prayer is an act of worship. It gives us the opportunity to be still and just dwell in His wonderful presence. That is, if we are willing to put in the time to get there.

You see, the point I'm trying to make, is that prayer, has the potential to take us into a much deeper realm than I originally thought. But it takes TIME. And there are a few other requirements...like say, surrender, selflessness, and a contrite and humble heart. Oh, and one more thing: It requires you (and me) to be there! All of you and all of me; mind, heart, and soul. Do not allow your mind to be invaded by the cares of this world. If it does, hang in there. Do not let distractions get in the way of your fellowship with the Lord. (Like I did.) You wouldn't want to miss out on this incredible opportunity to dwell in His presence and worship Him. Would you?

It is my most sincere prayer to the Lord our God, that He may teach us how to make more effective use of this most wonderful, and powerful tool He has so graciously given us, which we call PRAYER.

In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.

All glory, honor, and praise to God, forever and ever!
Amen.
