Now that it's on.

It's not like I'm walking alone into the valley of the shadow of death
Stand beside one another, 'cause it ain't over yet
I'd be willing to bet that if we don't back down
You and I will be the ones that are holding the Crown in the end
When it's over, we can say, "Well done"
But not yet, 'cause it's only begun
So, pick up, and follow me, we're the only ones
To fight this thing, until we've won
We drive on and don't look back
It doesn't mean we can't learn from our past
All the things that we mighta done wrong
We could've been doing this all along

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

And we'll be carrying on, until the day it doesn't matter anymore
Step aside, you forgot what this is for
We fight to live, we live to fight
And tonight, you'll hear my battle cry
We live our lives on the frontlines
We're not afraid of the fast times
These days have opened up my eyes
And now, I see where the threat lies

We've got to lead the way

You know it's time for us to step it up
Another level now 'cause we finished warming up
So we rise up elevate to maintain fill up with octane
And fan the flame we regain all the names
The enemy took away
And like a green beret we will lead the way
Into battle so have no fear we will draw near
So that we can persevere like a gondolier
We headed straight to the top nonstop
Set shop at the top of the Rock
You'll feel the aftershock after we rock the spot
Cause you forgot these soldiers won't turn and walk
We take hard knocks come back for more
Cause we're hardcore we fight for the One who died for (you)
And like Saigon we're on the frontlines
And we carry on to the end times

Now that it's on, we're out in the front of this marathon
With our armor on, stay strong we drive on
Our echelon pressin' on 'til we reach the top
And you know we don't stop
Now that it's on

We're on the enemy's hit list
I'm hopin' you get this
You're takin' a risk when you resist the one who made you exist
Evolutionists we got love for you too but we're breakin' down
Walls seeking out the truth
I'm a soldier in this army of One
Like I told ya the battle's already won
So about face move outta the way I gotta pray for you
And this is how we do

Oh you didn't know.

In June of 1967, Israel's enemies -- armed by Moscow -- surrounded her and threatened to "throw the Jews into the sea"....forty years later, Israel's enemies, again armed by the Russians, are once again surrounding her and vowing to "wipe Israel off the map"....what exactly is driving Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the leaders of Hezbollah, Hamas and Syria to prepare for an apocalyptic war?....why do they believe the end of the world is imminent and that the way to hasten the return of the Islamic Messiah is to annihilate millions of Jews and Christians?....just how serious is the Iranian nuclear threat not just to Israel but to the United States?....will Israel launch a preemptive strike like she did four decades ago?....will the U.S. lead the way instead?....or will this clear and present danger go unchecked?....and why do a growing number of evangelical Christians believe the current crisis in the Middle East may foreshadow the coming fulfillment of a 2,500 year old Bible prophecy?

Watch This.

The Love That Carries Me

So as you can this picture is me with Jim Kelly taken on the last day of Kingdom Bound (huge christian music festival in western New York) on August 3^rd, 2005. It was an awesome experience. I was standing up front right after Jeremy Camp performed and I saw Jim walk past. I ran up to Him and asked him if I could get a picture with him. He was so nice. He was with a group of kids that I assume he brought as a youth group or something. I took the photo and said thank you. He was courteous and made a joke about my camera before we both parted ways. On August 5th just two days later his son, Hunter Kelly died of Krabbe Leukodystrophy, an inherited, fatal, nervous system disease. This kind of makes you think a little bit. I have this picture of him being happy and enjoying himself at a concert and then two days later he experiences the toughest thing he's ever experienced. It makes you think. Life really is short. We really don't know when our time is. We make plans and we spend years of our life trying to prepare so we can have a good time in our later years. I'm here to tell you that making plans is a waste of your time. As human beings on this earth there is absolutely no reason we should make plans because the plans for our lives are not our own. In James 4:13-14 we read this:

Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

We don't know when we will die and people tend to push the thought of death to the side. Well guess what. Ten out of ten people die. We don't know when we will die or when we will get a phone call and hear someone on the other line say that our closest loved one is gone. We just don't know. There are horrible things that happen to everyone all the time and we live in a world fueled by sex, drugs, violence, and DEATH. We are at a time in history where the line has been pushed so far that it is commonplace in a houshold to see a topless girl on television and think nothing of it. Or to hear so and so was raped and think nothing of it. Or to find out mom and dad are getting a divorce and think nothing of it. Well i'm here to tell you that yeah the line may still be pushed, but i'm not going to follow. Life is too short. I am a firm believer in God and His son Jesus Christ and I know that my plans are not my own. They are His. I believe that out of billions of people since the begginning of time that i was put here at this exact location at this exact moment in time to fulfill a purpose. I probably don't know what that purpose is but i do know what i have to do everyday to fulfill it. People especially teenagers are searching these days. And if you're reading this don't tell me you're not searching. Don't tell me that you're not trying to fit in somewhere or be accepted. Don't tell me that you don't have hurt inside and that you don't feel a void in your life. I'm here to tell you that someone does love you. You have bad things in your life and you have skeletons in your closet. You probably do bad things all the time. I'm not saying i'm perfect either because i screw up just as much as the rest of us. But i'm here to tell you that thats ok. Because 2,000 years ago a man climbed up on a cross and died for us. He knew all the hate, all the hurt, all the sin, and all the pain that we feel right here in 2007 and he said it's not worth it. He died for us so that we didn't have to experience all the hurt anymore. He told us "Come to me all you who are weak and burdened and i will give you rest." Jesus died so that we may live. He took away all the hurt and pain 2,000 years ago. All you have to do is ask Him to take it away from you. Just ask Him to forgive you and i promise you that if you really mean it, then you will feel a huge load lifted off your shoulders. It is a free gift so don’t believe you’re not worthy. Because none of us are. I guarantee you that Jesus will take away your pain and He will make you a new person. You never have to feel that pain again. I'm not saying this to try and force a religion on you. It's not religion. In fact I hate religion and Jesus did too. I'm saying this so that you can have a relationship with the one who Gives life. Jesus Christ. Whether we want to admit it or not we are living in the end of days. The Bible tells us that at the end of days children will disobey their parents. Men will crave sin. Nation will rise against nation. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. There will be famines and earthquakes. People the time is now. It is my responsibility as a christian to tell you of the love of Jesus Christ and what He can do. He has radically changed my life as well as millions of other people. He conquered death so that i may live. Today in society that line keeps getting further and further and many times christians keep stepping further and further behind the line. We won't go as far as the line because "we're different." But we will keep creeping up on the line and i'm here to say i'm sorry. If you are a christian and you're reading this i'm telling you if the line is moving forward then we need to be moving in the opposite direction. We are called to be the light of the world. If you are not a christian I beg you to go back and read this again and seriously consider what I said. If you are a christian then I encourage you to not be like this world. Live so that people don't ever see you, but God shining through you.
