I Saw Him!

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 23:45:00 GMT

One of the things that convinces me that Jesus rose from the dead is the post -resurrection appearances of Jesus.

Paul says that among Jesus many appearances after his resurrection that he appeared to 500 of his followers at the same time. (See 1 Cor 15:3-8).

Imagine what it would have been like someone in the crowd of 500. Imagine how that would have impacted your life.

And listen as you imagine.

I Saw Him

The sun rose like a promise
On that hill close to the sea
Five hundred wishful pilgrims
Not quite sure where this would lead
As I stood there in the middle
Filled with longing, filled with doubt
I was shaken from my thoughts
By my children’s happy shouts

For standing strong and true,
I swear this oath to you!

I saw Him, breathing and alive
I saw Him, right before my eyes
I saw Him, felt the scars in his hands
I saw Him, the risen perfect lamb
I saw Him

In a cold and wasting dungeon
Hhaving given up on sleep
A soldier dragged me out
Where crosses lined the street
He screamed,
"You have a choice to walk away or die
Save your ugly skin
Curse this Jesus Christ"

How could I deny...for with these very eyes!

I saw Him…

As I close my eyes in death...after my final breath....

I see Him, breathing and alive
I see Him, right before my eyes
I see Him and the scars in his hands
I see Him, the reigning perfect lamb...

I see Him, high and on a throne
I see Him, I hear the thundering sound
Angels and souls cry ‘worthy is the Lamb!’
I see Him, the invincible I AM...I see Him!

The sun rose like a promise
On that hill close to the sea

Merry Christmas!

I wrote a song a number of years ago from the perspective of one of the shepherds on the night Jesus was born and how that radically changed his life.

Stubborn As A Mule !

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 01:40:00 GMT

When I was in Turkey this August I met Jihan, a Muslim background believer in Jesus. This is our conversation. As you will hear from Jihan, he was a devout Muslim and even when he began to become convinced about Jesus, he just couldn't cross the line. He cried out to Jesus "Show yourself to me!" And Jesus spoke to his heart saying: "Why are you so stubborn?" This is the story of a stubborn heart being transformed by the living Jesus! Hey I resemble that remark!

Maybe you remember Yoda’s challenge to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back: “A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind.” Yoda’s words remind me of how Jesus calls you and me to the deepest commitment. That's what Pledge My Head To Heaven points to. Feel free to download it, free!

Where Few Have Ever Gone

I recently had the chance to interview Sam and Elizabeth from Grand Rapids, MI.

They're headed to sub-Saharan Africa to share the good news of Jesus with a Muslim people of 400,000 that has about 15 people intentionally sharing the good news.

What has inspired them to do such a thing? To go where few have ever gone? Hear their amazing story and heart right now! Track 2 of the site player.

To the Frontiers

Fri, 25 Feb 2011 23:18:19 GMT

There are places in the world that represent the frontiers of the gospel. Those places where the message of Jesus Christ has never been taken by living, breathing messengers of Jesus. Many of those frontiers are in the Muslim world. Alex is a young man from Michigan who, along with his wife and their small children have moved to one of those places in Central Asia. I had the chance to interview Alex on my radio show at Moody Radio West Michigan. Listen to Alex's powerful story. How he changed from an angry young man to a servant of Jesus in the Muslim world.

Palpable Presence

Fri, 14 Jan 2011 18:50:00 GMT

Think about a time you experienced God’s presence.

For me it was at the summit of Mauna Kea on the big island of Hawaii in 2004. Teresa and I and our kids drove to the top at twilight. It was a harrowing trip to the top with steep drop offs on the edge of the road.

When we reached the top it was dark and there was a light fog resting at the summit. A fog that was more like the Spirit of God hovering over the waters in the beginning, than just that misty, wet stuff.

As I got out of the truck I could palpably feel the presence of God. Not that sweet, gentle presence but the awesome fear of the Lord. I felt a bit like Moses must have felt at the summit of Mt. Sinai. I just wanted to run from his fearful majesty.

God used that experience to teach me something about his power. In particular his power to accomplish his purpose and destiny in my life. The ministry I'm involved in today was birthed in that sacred place.

Let me hear your story!

The interview you're hearing happened in July of this year. Chris Fabry is the host of Chris Fabry Live! on the Moody broadcasting network.

Brand New Beginning

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 05:15:00 GMT

"There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning." Louis L'Amour. In Jesus, every day is a new beginning. Each day we can start fresh because he had shed his blood to take away all our sin. Enter in.
