Years ago, when I had an appointment to go to that I was dreading, the Lord gave me a Scripture that encourages me to this day. It’s Psalm 71:16 (NKJV), which says, “I will go in the strength of the Lord God.” I’ve discovered that when I declare this verse, […]
“Worldwide” by Third Day’s Mark Lee
(Before I begin this post, let it be known that poor John from Jesus Freak Hideout asked me in the fall of ’08 to do a blog post for him. That was 2 and a half years ago! I don’t know if he should get a prize for patience, or […]
We Recommend: Future Of Forestry, “Twilight”
The last couple years in the history of Future of Forestry have certainly been interesting. With the release of a magnificent trilogy of EPs found in the Travel series as well as a sequel to their finely-crafted Advent Christmas EP (not to mention Credential Recordings recently releasing a “best-of” collection of the band’s work), Eric Owyoung and […]
“God’s Plan and Purposes for You” by J.M. Farro
Romans 8:28 is one of the most quoted and most beloved verses in all of Scripture, with good reason. It is God’s promise to His devoted ones that He will cause everything—even every hurt and heartache—to profit them somehow. It reads: “And we know that God causes all things to […]
“Reflections On The 2011 Dove Nominees” by John DiBiase
So yesterday, the 42nd Annual GMA Dove Award nominations were announced. (Check out the FULL List of nominees here) This marks the very first year the awards ceremony has relocated from Nashville, TN to Atlanta, GA (due to the show’s biggest sponsor – Gospel Music Channel – being based in Atlanta). My first […]
“It’s Been… Educational!” by John DiBiase
It’s been an interesting past couple of weeks as we continue to adjust to life as new parents. Or, as Marty McFly might say, “It’s been… educational!” We’ve recently had a Valentine’s Day day trip to dinner and a movie, a pediatrician check-up visit (he’s just over 16 lbs now […]
“We Come From A Land Down-Under” by Adam Dawson
Hey. If you’ve been around JfH for a while, you may remember me as one of the reviewers; otherwise, my prolonged absence due to second-year university studies, looking for a job (and getting one), and working in that aforementioned job might have rendered my name relatively unknown. Anyways, I’ve had this little […]
“Attending The 2011 Dove Awards Press Conference” by Ryan Barbee
42nd Annual Dove Award Press Conference February 16, 2011 (Report by Ryan Barbee) Atlanta. Home of Coca-Cola, the 1996 Olympics, decent fried chicken, and some of the most popular mainstream hip hop. In addition to these fine attributes, Atlanta will be the home of this year’s Dove Awards. Is it a natural […]
We Recommend: Between Thieves, “Between Thieves”
I’m going to go out on a limb here, as I usually do with these recommendations, and feature a little known project by a band called Between Thieves. I often find myself recommending music on here that would be deemed fairly old (maybe even out-dated), but I think part of the […]
“God’s Warning and Rewards” by J.M. Farro
If it seems like I talk about the Word of God a lot in my writing, there’s a very good reason for that. The Word has changed my life, my family, and our circumstances, and I am determined to believe it, and to devote myself to it, all the rest […]
