Mountain of Transfiguration
Mat 17:1-4 And after six days Jesus takes Peter, James, and John his brother, and brings them up into an high mountain apart, Mat 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. Mat 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Mat 17:4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you will, let us make here three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

Identity of the Two Witnesses (Rev 11:3)

Rev 11:4 These are the two olive-trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

Two Olive Trees

Zec 4:2 And said unto me, What see you? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: Zec 4:3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.

Moses
ARK BASKET: Exo 2:3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an arc of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.

BURNING BUSH: Exo 3:3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. Exo 3:4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. Exo 3:5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off you shoes from off you feet, for the place whereon you stand is holy ground.

Miracles of God through Moses

PARTING OF THE WATERS: Exo 14:16 But lift you up you rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

MOSES DEATH: Deu 34:5-8 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab (Jordan), according to the word of the LORD. Deu 34:6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knows of his sepulcher unto this day. Deu 34:7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. Deu 34:8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.

BODY OF MOSES: Jud 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke.

SEAT OF MOSES: Mat 23:2 Saying, the scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

Elijah means YAHWEH IS MY GOD

THE DROUGHT: 1Ki 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.

FED BY RAVENS: 1Ki 17:6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

RAISES DEAD SON: 1Ki 17:21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray you, let this child's soul come into him again. 1Ki 17:22 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.

FIRE DOWN FROM HEAVEN: 1Ki 18:38 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 1Ki 18:39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.

ELIJAH RUNS FROM JEZEBEL: 1Ki 19:4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, it is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.

PARTING THE WATER: 2Ki 2:8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.

ELIJAH TAKEN TO HEAVEN: 2Ki 2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven

3rd Israeli Temple: Dan 9:27, Matt 24:15, 2Thess 2:4 Rev 11:1,2

The Two Witnesses Protected
Rev 11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devours their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

Rev 11:5 And if any man will hurt them (two witnesses), fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devours their enemies (unsaved Rev 11:9): and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

Enemies of the Two Witnesses

5th Trumpet: Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Rev 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. Continued on next page:

6th Trumpet: Rev 11:9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their (Moses and Elijah) dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. Rev 11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

Titles of Moses and Elijah

Rev 11:3 And I will give power unto my (1) two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. Rev 11:4 These (Moses and Elijah) are (2) the two olive trees, and (3) the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

I'd argue that one.

a) Water is a molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
b) Every observation or examination by microscope has confirmed this.

Conclusion
Therefore we can predict that every future examination of water will reveal the same chemical composition.

As they then try to claim something else LIKE Water (but not Water) might be made of something else other than H2O.

Invalid. The syllogism itself is invalid and can only be considered as a strong inductive argument and not deductive. It is the 'we can predict' part of the conclusion which comes from nowhere, so the argument is not strictly formal. There is an ongoing debate within philosophical circles as to whether water must conform to the molecule H2O. Some argue that it is logically possible for a substance to appear exactly as water and yet still be of a different chemical composition.

Incidentally my wife and I came close to hitting a small kangaroo a bit over a week ago. We were on our way home at about 9.30pm when the kangaroo hopped in front of our car. I had to brake pretty hard to avoid it.

We live in suburbia but there is some bushland reserve nearby and a few roos live there.

Luke 3:

12 Some tax collectors came to be baptized. They asked him, “Teacher, what should we do?” 13 He told them, “Don’t collect more money than you are ordered to collect.”

Click to expand...

Tax collectors were considered sinners because they were greedy. They extracted more money from the people than necessary to pay Rome. John baptized the tax collectors who repented of their sins.

Luke 7:28-31

I tell you, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John. Yet even the least person in the Kingdom of God is greater than he is!” When they heard this, all the people—even the tax collectors—agreed that God’s way was right, for they had been baptized by John. But the Pharisees and experts in religious law rejected God’s plan for them, for they had refused John’s baptism.

Tax collectors were singled out here to contrast the Pharisees. The former repented and were baptized by John; the latter didn't.

You can tell strife to leave your home then asks God to fill it with His love. (Pro 10:12)

Taurine isn't an essential amino acid, as it is produced in the human body, though there is debate as to how much taurine is optimum. It is a semi-essential amino acid at best in humans. Animals like cats don't produce taurine in their bodies, which means they must obtain taurine from food.

Most of the effects of energy drinks containing taurine are due to the caffeine. Caffeine is a proven ergogenic (performance-enhancing) supplement.

Creatine has a bigger evidence base in terms of being an ergogenic supplement. It's also relatively cheap.

I have a prayer REQUEST and a PRAISE

So my praise is that that my mom has been able to sweat and my legs have been feeling 50% better! Oh and I was very constipated for awhile no and I am not any longer... It all started to get better after we received a prayer cloth and it has been a blessing from God for both of us

Now the request: we have told God that we will do a thirty day fast during this time( morning fast) and I would appreciate prayers that my moms faith which is wavering will increase and that I would continue to have the faith I need to see this through. I can barely function and my mom can't do alot of things like driving and other things much because of her issues.

Please pray for us. or faith is being tested so Greatly because all we go through.... I thank each and every one of you

EMTV - Majority Text

ESV - is based on the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Bible as found in Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (5th ed., 1997), and on the Greek text in the 2014 editions of the Greek New Testament (5th corrected ed.), published by the United Bible Societies (UBS), and Novum Testamentum Graece (28th ed., 2012), edited by Nestle and Aland.

HCSB - The HCSB is based on the Nestle-Aland 27th edition and the UBS 4th edition for the NT and the BHS 5th edition for the OT.

NKJV - uses the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia for the Old Testament,[1] while opting to use the Textus Receptus for the New Testament

Weymouth (NT only) - uses something called the Resultant Greek Text

Young's Literal Translation - Masoretic Text (MT) and the Textus Receptus (TR).

Weird that a post complaining about Democrats going on the attack is followed up by a post pretending not to know what strategies Democrats are using.

Click to expand...

. "strategies" is plural. Meaning more than one. You could have easily named those other strategies.

. The Tweet is fake. So it's not even a real example of "Democrats going on the attack".

So I'll ask the question again. What are these effective strategies and how do you know they have affected the polling?

Are you able to identify with this Psalmist in any way, either from a time in your past or in your present life? I definitely can from times past, and I can connect with parts of it in my life present. For if we are those who are followers of Jesus Christ, whose desire is for him, to do his will, we are going to go through times of difficulty, persecution, and rejection. And we will have people who will speak evil of us and who will mock us and who will deride us. And if we have compassionate hearts, that should bring us to tears.

And if our hearts are not guarded, our tears may turn to depression and to withdrawal and to us pulling away from doing the will of the Lord. And perhaps they may even lead us to questioning God and his sovereignty over our lives. And we may cry out to God and say, “Why, God, is this happening to me?” And that says that we have not yet reached that place of spiritual maturity in our lives to where we understand and accept the sovereignty of God over our lives, and when we can accept suffering as something good.

And that may lead many sincere followers of Christ to pull back and to no longer do what they were doing in ministry in obedience to the Lord, out of fear of rejection and persecution, or out of being convinced that all the doors that were open for them are now closed. So they get discouraged and downcast and they give up hope, at least temporarily, until they are able to work through their emotions in prayer to the Lord, and in counseling themselves, so that they will return to serving the Lord as they once had.

And if we ever get to that point in our Christian lives, and in Christian ministry, to where we are discouraged and disheartened, and our emotions are telling us to give up and to run away, we need to give ourselves biblical counsel. And we need to work through those emotions in prayer. And we must get into the Scriptures and study them in their context and let the Holy Spirit speak truth to our hearts, whether or not our emotions are yet there. For Satan is definitely hot on our trail to convince us to give up and run.

And we must remind ourselves of days gone by when we were following the Lord as we ought, and how the Lord carried us through every difficult circumstance, and how he supplied for our every need. And we should drag out the old hymns of the faith and sing them out loud. And if we journal, we should go back and read where the Lord has encouraged us before in our trials and tribulations. And we must reassure ourselves of our Lord’s provisions for us and how he will not leave us or forsake us.

For Satan will glory in these times in our lives when he can get us to be so downcast that we will desert God’s callings upon our lives, and when we will run from serving the Lord rather than to serving God with our lives. So, if your emotions are beginning to go that direction, stop! Pray! Read the Scriptures! Sing songs, hymns and spiritual songs out loud! Claim the promises of God that he has for his followers. Believe Him! Trust Him! And keep moving forward in the strength and wisdom and power of God!!

A Believer’s Prayer

An Original Work / July 31, 2012

With my whole heart, Lord, I pray
To be Yours, and Yours always.
Lead me in Your truth today.
May I love You, and obey.
Lead me in Your righteousness.
When I sin, may I confess;
Bow before You when I pray;
Live for You and You always.

Love You, Jesus, You’re my friend.
Life with You will never end.
You are with me through each day,
Giving love and peace always.
You will ne’er abandon me.
From my sin You set me free.
You died on that cruel tree,
So I’d live eternally.

Soon You’re coming back for me;
From this world to set me free;
Live with You eternally.
Oh, what joy that brings to me.
I will walk with You in white;
A pure bride, I’ve been made right
By the blood of Jesus Christ;
Pardoned by His sacrifice.

No matter what your circumstances,
You can trust in Jesus Christ.
So, in all of your happenstances,
Please don’t give up now to strife.

I understand in life is hardship,
Pain to bear as part of life.
Now Jesus suffered much for freedom
From our sin, for sin is rife.

So trust Him as your Lord and Savior.
Turn from sin and follow Him.
Let Him wrap His arms around you.
Know that you have been forgiv’n.

Now follow Jesus where He leads you,
Walk with Him in righteousness.
Give Him all your circumstances.
He will free you from duress.

An Original Work / March 24, 2023

On December 27, 2011, throughout my day the Lord encouraged me much through his word and through songs. One of the passages of Scripture that he led me to read was Psalms 119. Over the years since receiving my Bible as a gift from my children, I have underlined and even dated many sections of this passage of scripture, because the Lord had spoken to me through them. Again these words of David came alive to my heart, as the Lord Jesus was speaking many, many words of comfort and hope to my heart.

The Lord had already given me a tune earlier in the day, and I sensed after reading Psalms 119 that he wanted me to put this Psalm, in abbreviated form, to this music he had given to me. The song is about the word of God that I have hidden in my heart so that I might not sin against God. Jesus is the Word, so the Word is in my heart, and the written word, as well, is in my heart through study and application of its truths to my heart, and through obedience to those truths.

Your Word

An Original Work / December 27, 2011
Based off Psalms 119

Praise You with an upright heart as
I learn of Your righteousness.
I seek You with all my heart;
Do not let me stray from Your law.
I have hidd’n Your word in my heart
That I might not sin against You.
Open my eyes that I may see
Wonderful things in Your word.
I am a stranger on earth.

I have chosen the way of truth;
My heart is set on Your word.
I will walk about in freedom,
For I have sought out Your truth.
Teach me knowledge and good judgment,
For I believe in Your law.
Your hands made me, and they formed me;
Give me understanding, Lord.
I put my hope in Your word.

Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light unto my path.
You are my shield and my refuge;
In Your word I put my hope.
My heart trembles at Your word, Lord.
May my lips o’erflow with praise.
May my tongue sing of Your truth, Lord.
Your salvation, Lord, long I.
Your word, Lord, is my delight.

We who are following Jesus Christ with our lives are going to have times when we are sick or afflicted or when we are being hounded and persecuted or when Satan is attacking us fiercely with his lies. We must not give in to the enemy! We must recognize that things are not normal and that we are under attack and that we must rely on the truth of God’s word despite our feelings. We will all have days like this. And this is especially when we must take refuge in the Lord and we must trust him with our circumstances.

Hopefully we are surrounded by other believers in Jesus Christ who are those who take God and his word to heart and who are walking in obedience to the Lord and to his commands and no longer in sin. Hopefully they are those who love the Lord Jesus and their fellow Christians and that they are those with whom we can share our burdens and who will pray for us. For we all need prayer. We all need encouragement, especially when we are under the attack of the enemy. We should delight in such saints as these.

Sadly, not everyone who professes the name of Jesus is walking in holiness and in righteousness and in obedience to the Lord, and not in sin. Many of them are running after “other gods,” i.e. the gods of this world and of the flesh. Many of them are still living in addiction to sin, making sin their practice, and not godliness, and not walks of obedience to the Lord. And the Lord does indeed say that he does not know them, and that they are not in fellowship with him, and that they will not have eternal life in him.

[1 John 1:5-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Galatians 5:16-21]

For if the Lord is our chosen portion and cup, we will delight in him and in his word and in walks of obedience to him in holy living. Our desire will be for him to do his will for our lives and not what this world is calling out to us to do, and not what human flesh craves. For we will rely on the word and the counsel of the Lord to guide and to direct us in the ways of righteousness. And we will trust him to get us through every trial without us wavering in unbelief. No matter what comes our way we will remain steadfast in him.

Apart from genuine faith in the Lord Jesus, or due to faith that is weak because of wrong messages which have been fed into our minds, perhaps over many years, we may be lacking in understanding of all that we have in Christ and of how powerful God really is to meet us in all of our circumstances. And so it is important that we study the Scriptures for ourselves, and that we read them in context, and that we believe what God’s word says, and that we apply its truths to our everyday lives.

For, if our lives are committed to Christ to do his will, and we are not walking in sin, but we are walking in obedience to our Lord, although perhaps not with absolute perfection, we will dwell secure in the knowledge of who God is and that he is completely sovereign over every aspect of our lives, and that he has a plan and a purpose for everything that he allows to come into our lives. And he will accomplish his will and purpose for us as we continue to surrender to him, and as we keep doing what he has called us to do.

But, with regard to having that assurance of salvation from sin and eternal life with God, that must be based upon the teachings of the New Testament in their full context regarding what constitutes genuine faith and salvation and eternal life in the life of one professing faith in the Lord Jesus. For not everyone who says “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING the will of God the Father. For Jesus said that if we would come to him we must deny self, die daily to sin, and follow him in obedience.

[Matt 7:21-23; Lu 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14; Rom 12:1-2; 1 Co 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Co 10:1-22; 2 Co 5:10,15,21; Gal 5:16-24; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 2:8-10; Eph 4:17-32; Eph 5:3-6; Col 1:21-23; Col 3:1-17; Titus 2:11-14; 1 Jn 1:5-10; 1 Jn 2:3-6,24-25; 1 Jn 3:4-10; 1 Pet 2:24; Heb 3:1-19; Heb 4:1-13; Heb 10:23-31; Heb 12:1-2]

Songs in the Night

An Original Work / December 18, 2013

“About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.” Acts 16:25 NIV ‘84

Lord, I praise You forevermore.
You, my Savior, I now adore.
Hope in heaven awaiting me,
Because You died at Calvary.

I have been forgiven,
And I’m bound for heaven.
Jesus set me free from
All my sin, I say.
I will praise Him always!

Lord, I love You for all You’ve done:
Overcame death, my vict’ry won!
Jesus saved me, and now I’m free!
I rejoice in His love for me.

I will walk in vict’ry!
My sin is but hist’ry!
I am free to please Him
With my life today.
I will love Him always!

Lord, I thank You for giving me
A new life bought at Calvary.
Loving Jesus, I meet with Him.
Tender mercies now flow within.

Lord, I am so thankful;
Through my Lord, I’m able
To sit at His table;
Fellowship with Him.
I will thank Him always!

Presbyterian Continuist said:

Satan owns all the nations of the world, but he can do only what God permits. This is why Christians get a better deal in some countries, but a severely persecuted in others. It seems that the Christian Church is stronger in those countries where there is serious persecution, while in countries where there is little persecution, churches tend to be complacent and riddled with liberalism. In time, God will turn the tables, and persecution in some countries will decrease as He answers their prayers for relief and revival, while persecution will increase in western countries as we are seeing in parts of the UK.

I agree that Christianity is stronger in countries with severe persecution and I feel for those who suffer so much for their faith. I hope that they do get relief.

I don't see that sort of persecution here in the UK though. As individuals we may lose friends, spouses, etc., or be ridiculed, but as for the Church I think our greatest threat comes from secularisation not from Muslims.

A banker told me that if I use a credit card, I am more likely to get my money back if I am a victim of fraud than if I use a debit card. So I want to get a credit card for online transactions over the Internet since I am concerned about Malware. I recently read an article about malware on Android that has millions of installs and I don’t expect that my Windows computer is fully safe either.

First, which credit card would anyone recommend getting? My credit score has dropped to fair since I completed paying off my student loan a year ago and have had no credit activity since than. So I may have to get a credit card with more limits, like a secured credit card. Should I go with American Express, Capital One, or Chase Bank, or something else?

Secondly, I want a credit card that I can just pay by calling a phone number. My bank told me that their credit card has to be paid online or with the app and that you can’t call a phone number to pay it because of security reasons. However in researching this online, I read that most of the major credit cards have a phone number on the back of the card that you can call and provide your bank account number and pay that way. I don’t want to pay online or with the app because that defeats the purpose of why I am getting a credit card. I am trying not to use my computer or phone to pay because that could potentially expose my bank account number to malware or hackers.

I found that on Experian’s website if you provide your phone number and last four of your social, you can view preapproved offers. Is that a good place to sign up? Where else should I sign up?

I also want a card that has no monthly fee, and which one would give me a better interest rate?
The article on malware on Android in the Play store with millions of installs has me concerned, but should I assume that my Windows 11 computer with Windows defender and Malware Bytes Anti-Malware is safer? I am not paying for any virus / malware protection with this setup, as I am just using the free version of Malware Bytes.

Someone also mentioned to me that I can get a lower interest rate if I go with a credit union.

Also because I prefer to donate a certain percentage of my income to charity or the church, I might have online transactions with large amounts of money. I am kind of wondering if I should really do that with a credit card. If I were to become unemployed for some reason, I wouldn’t want a large amount of money to have to pay off if I did not anticipate becoming unemployed. Normally I would plan to pay off the balance each month.

Click to expand...

Ask for a visa or mastercard, from your bank, they have one or the other. these 2 are widely accepted, get a small limit only 500 dollars max and always pay in full your credit bill monthly, your credit score will improve dramatically quickly. as foa paying you can always do so at the bank or ATM much safer this way.

the interest rated on any credit card are monstruous, only buy what you can pay each month and pay in full.

I'd never heard of these guys, but they appear to be a longstanding faction within the GOP. The call themselves the "Republican wing of the Republican Party". Others referred to them as the TEA party before the TEA party. Sort of orthodox, establishment Republicans with any hint of liberalism purged, none of the populism of the Trump movement and without the libertarian wing's notion about freedom, plus a strong splash of soft Christian nationalism or at least the Christian assumption among its policies, and then turned up a notch or 3. They seem to have caught a heavy fever of nativism as well.

Party's over, shut it down,
I'm huntin' for someone y'all
He's a lyin' thievin'rattlesnake
and he's broken every law
He's terrorized the lives
of men and he's under arrest
because I've been sent
with a warrant from the body of Christ
-Well, tell me what it says then! -
"Satan, bite the dust!"
Every one of you unclean spirits,
I'm runnin' you outta town
Depression, strife,
disease and fear, your posse's goin' down
-Boy, last tenderfoot who
talked that big we sent him home in a box -
But I know who I am
through Jesus Christ so I talk to you demons like dogs
Satan you coward, you molester of souls,
I command you to appear
You're hidin' from the presence of God but
I can feel your fear from here
-You rattled my chain, boy, long enough, you
got something in your craw? -
A praying church wants you to know
- Know what? -
Your kingdom's gonna fall
-There's gonna be
trouble here tonight -
'Cause I represent a
whole new breed of Christian of today
And I'm authorized and
deputized to blow you clean away
I've got a message to
deliver from One who's true and just
We'll spit in your eye,
you father of lies
Satan, bite the dust!
-Boy, you gonna take me on and my unholy herd?-
Not only take you on, but
take you out by the Spirit and the Word
One by one you'll drop
like flies under foot and in the ground
Because greater is He who is in me
than the snake I'm starin' down
You demon of alcoholism,
you'll be the first to go
There's deliverance from you
through Jesus Christ, so, hit the road!
You spirit of infirmity,
you ain't welcome here no more
We lay hands on the sick
and they recover so, out the door!
You demon of false religion,
you've preyed on minds so simple
I bind the spirit of your songs,
so el kabong!
Play that in your temple!
Now Satan you're next in line,
I'm gonna hit you where it hurts
'Cause I'm tired of you in
my family and I'm tired
of you in my church
I'm not my own,
I'm bought with a price,
I'm a Holy Ghost filled man
And I'm tollin' the bell of
your eternal destruction
'cross the land
'Cause I represent a
whole new breed of Christian of today
And I'm authorized and
deputized to blow you clean away
I've got a weapon with
two bullets that overcome all sin and crud
One bullet is called the word of my testimony,
and the other one's called The Blood
Satan, bite the dust!
Bite the dust!
Well how do you feel about that, devil?
-I'm afeelin' mighty low-
Good!

You are welcome, brother. Another classic from when I was a young boy. Used to sing "You Are God Alone" during the worship service in at least one or two non-denominational churches that I went to as a young churchgoer. Now, if I can ask the Catholic church that I attend to play this music on piano, that would be awesome, cos they played Hillsong - Oceans before Mass started a few weeks ago, and some other modern song that I have never heard of or even got the title of before today's Mass.

Since this month, I have began to sing worship songs again by pulling the lyric videos up online a few times a week.
