With all the is going on in our country and our world and with all the attention around our national debt, I decided that next 6 days and 14 hours offer a great opportunity to pray and fast…Here’s why… Unemployment, National Debt, Cancer, Illness, Rising Healthcare Costs, Violence in the name of God, Violence for […]
I watched a commercial the other day. It was a dramatization where an individual was sharing how thrilled he was with the access his service provider gave him to the “almighty cloud.” I know…It was just a joke… right? Everyone knows that the “cloud” is essentially nothing more than massive collections of computers providing services […]
I think that I have shared this thought before…but…Matthews collections of Jesus’ teachings starting in Matthew 5-7, commonly known as the “Sermon on the Mount” is one of my most favorite sections in the Bible. In my study of these passages, particularly the Sermon on the mount, it has been interesting to see how different […]
Play: A Conversation With Godfrey [podcast]http://www.mikegold.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/AConversationWithGodfrey.mp3[/podcast] Words have been in short supply lately. Shocking…I know. Let’s just say that God has taught me a great deal over this past year and I am thankful for His great love and peace. One thing that God sparked in my life recently is a renewed love for […]
I edited this video in Memory of my dear friend and musical inspiration, Godfrey Viegas. If you watch the video long enough you will get to see him playing. I will miss his energy, his love for Christ and for family and for music…and…I will of course miss his joy. Until we meet again my […]
I laid down some guitar tracks of Amazing Grace… a blues rendition of the song. [podcast]http://www.mikegold.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Amazing-Grace.mp3[/podcast] Grace…24 years ago…almost to the day, I was baptized as a believer in Jesus. That day I proclaimed to the world that I believe that Jesus is the messiah, the Son of the most high God of the universe. […]
[podcast]http://www.mikegold.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Remember.mp3[/podcast] I just put down some tracks of a song I wrote for my daughter Abby when she was born. She recently turned ten. This is for you Abby…and it’s long over due. Happy Birthday. I’ll need to lay down some new acoustic guitar tracks when I can get my hands on a new acoustic. […]
[podcast]http://www.mikegold.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Your-Name-On-High.mp3[/podcast] Thanks to the inspiration of a dear friend, I have started to get back into music again. More about him in a future post. This is a little play on the great worship song by Rick Founds entitled Lord I Lift Your Name On High. All credits goes the Mr. Founds for this great […]
I thought that, by now, the concept of using volunteers in the Information Technology (I.T.) areas of the church would be irrelevant. I am encouraged to hear an increasing amount of stories where churches trust some of their most critical I.T. operations to volunteers. However, many church leaders still struggle with this concept so I […]
I had a conversation with a dear friend the other day. It was one of those “iron sharpens iron” conversations about God. Every time my friend and I have one of these conversations I leave challenged. I consider my friend to be a man of great integrity and faith…so when he shares his convictions about […]
