Four Chords of Wonderful Possibilities

First, heads up for the end of the video, there is an "F-Bomb". But this is a great example of how some music can be really simple. You can learn four chords on a guitar and play allllll these songs.

I really enjoyed this for the list of music and artists.


Steve Jobs' Brother Stops Quran Burning at Park

Steve Jobs' WT brother stopped a man from burning a Quran at a park in Amarillo. This sweet auto-tune video is proof.

Looks like Jobs to me.

Ken Block is Back with Gymkhana 3.2

I've posted the past Gymkhana videos from Ken Block, "Mr. DC Shoes" himself (here, here, here, here), but this is a teaser to the latest one. That's right, it's a teaser.  This is so amazing. Enjoy.

I think Gymkhana 4 should be a chase scene in a movie, with this type of driving and intensity.  Ronin 2?

Paul Begins To Correct The Church At Corinth - Part 1

Tuesday and Wednesday I was in Redding working. I actually thought about taking my computer and Bible to blog, but I work late, go to bed at the hotel, wake up early, and get back to work so I can head home to my family. It's really a busy time because I only get up there once every two weeks or so.

Anyway, today I woke up at 4:30am with a migraine and it didn't go away until after noon. Even now, my head and stomach are not 100%. I stayed home from work to get better. I realized I didn't do a study yesterday and thought I'd try now (of course, the second I sit here and type, my early wake-up is catching up with me.

1 Corinthians 1:10-17 is where Paul begins to confront some divisions in the church at Corinth. The people of the church at Corinth were attempting to sound more holy than the next person my stating things like, "I follow Paul", or "I follow Apollos" and so on, all the way to the one's claiming, "I follow Christ." And these one's saying they follow Christ were not really any better than the one's saying the followed Paul. They were all trying to one-up each other and sound more spiritual.

Must...Sleep...I will continue.

Thankful for the Church at Corinth

1 Corinthians 1:4-9 is Paul's way of letting the church at Corinth know he is thankful for them and that he is praying for them. This is another example of Paul's love for the church. Paul is thankful that God saved them because they confirm the testimony of Paul and the other apostles that about Jesus...Paul uses, "Christ Jesus" here to be clear about Jesus as the Savior. He also says, "in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge...so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gifts." Although no one has all the spiritual gifts on their own, the church of Corinth had people with all sorts of gifts that came together to as one church (although later we will see there was some division in the church). Paul indicates that they do have a well rounded group of believers that were bold and spoke the truth of Jesus as Savior. Paul reminds the church that the Lord will sustain them until Christ returns.

We should be involved in our churches. It takes everyone to have a well rounded, spiritually gifted church. We all have different abilities and levels of some giftedness. We need to participate for the betterment of the church, the furtherance of the kingdom of God, and for our own spiritual health.
