Max Lucado Fearless

Fearless by Max Lucado

For some reason everyday seems to bring a new reason to live our lives in fear; layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, health care concerns, swine flu, terrorism and many more things.

Being a person who worries and frets over hundreds of things I can’t control this book gave me encouragement and great biblical teaching to help me see that fear at its purest state is based on my lack of faith in God.

Below are some of the quotes that hit me the hardest:

Fear creates a form of spiritual amnesia. It dulls our miracle memory. It makes us forget what Jesus has done and how good God is.

Fear may fill our world, but it doesn’t have to fill our hearts.

Worry is the darkroom where negatives become glossy prints.

Seek first the kingdom of wealth, and you’ll worry over every dollar.  Seek first the kingdom of health, and you’ll sweat every blemish and bump. Seek first the kingdom of popularity, and you’ll relive every conflict. Seek first the kingdom of safety, and you’ll jump at every crack of the twig. But seek first his kingdom, and you will find it. On that, we can depend and never worry.

I love the use of scripture and applications that showed up in this book.  I would strongly recommend this book for anyone that wants to be rescued from a life of worry.

To all those who like free music

As many of us are getting ready to go to Rock the Light this weekend. I have two great websites that give out free Christian music and videos.

• The first website is www.itickets.com . Once you register each week (starting on Tuesday) they giveaway 1-3 song per week. Songs like Chris Tomlin, Mark Schultz, I AM Terrified, and John Reuben to name a few.
• The second website is www.videorocket.com . Just like above sign up but this website gives way a free christian music video. They are very high quality and would be useful for youth groups, or just someone wanting video on their iphone.

Hope you enjoy this free Wednesday update...check back next wednesday for a new freebie and website suggestion.
