Best Thing I Heard Today: May 30, 2019
Unspoken — “Help Is On The Way” I have to admit that when it comes to Christian pop groups, Unspoken is one of my favorites. When it comes to Christian music, I’m more of a rock guy. That said, I think Unspoken has a way of making great, catching songs that rise above what can at times be a homogenous sound on Christian radio. Their newest single, “Help Is On The Way” is the Best Thing I Heard Today! Check it out here: Unspoken’s new album REASON is due to drop June 21, 2019! “Help Is On The Way” Lyrics:I know how you feelFighting for another breathSearching for the strengthTo lift…

How to Look to God
After having my baby girl, I was so excited. I dressed her up in the cutest girlie outfit I had and was prepared — to show her off. Eager and happy, we pranced off to church, my new package in tow. I sat in the row smiling, and waiting for people to come and see her cute little face. That is, until no one came over. No one said anything to me. They didn’t walk over. They didn’t ooh and ahh. They didn’t even give much regard to me as I struggled to carry her little baby car seat out the door with her in it. I felt invisible. Unseen.…

Balance Is Overrated
Because if everything is important, nothing is. Something is always born of excess: great art was born of great terror, great loneliness, great inhibitions, instabilities, and it always balances them. ~ Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin Every year in my company, I send out an in-depth survey to find out just a little… The post Balance Is Overrated appeared first on FaithGateway.

Pray When You Are Hemmed In
Why did God curse Eve with loneliness and heartache, an emptiness that nothing would be able to fill? Wasn’t her life going to be hard enough out there in the world, banished from the Garden that was her true home, her only home, never able to return? It seems unkind. Cruel, even. He did it… The post Pray When You Are Hemmed In appeared first on FaithGateway.
