The Daily Pulse (Tuesday, September 24, 2013): The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. Isaiah 9:2 (NIV)

Every father and daughter dreams of the day when they will walk hand-in-hand down the aisle to meet an anticipating groom. But for this father those dreams came to a screeching halt when he learned that his fight with cancer would be ending in just a few short months. Determined to not miss out on those special steps, he walks each of his daughters down the aisle in a special ceremony. Keep your tissue box close, because you will need it. :')

The Daily Pulse (Monday, September 23, 2013): “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you." John 15:18-19 (NIV)

John 3:16"For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

Romans 12:1--2 "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind ..."

• God has desired us to be a holy, sanctified, and separate people.

• But not alone!

• The separate is from the world and not from people.

• We struggle with the overwhelming pull of the world to be like the world in our attitudes, actions and appearance.

• We renew our minds by filling them with things of the Lord, not things of the world.

• The more we parade the presence of Christ—listening, waiting, reading, praying—

• The more we want to be like him!

• We begin to desire holiness.

• It's an act of the will and an attitude of the heart that affect our outward actions.

The Daily Pulse (Sunday, September 22, 2013): While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table. When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. “This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.” Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.” Matthew 26:6-13 (NIV)

This video jam titled "Redemption" comes from a sermon preached by Dr. Vincent G. Artese titled "Christianity is Progress".

This powerful sermon jam speaks of the work of redemption in the Christian. The work of redemption is to restore a Christian from their former state so they may be made holy and escape the bondages of sin! All of this is done by the grace of God so the Christian can be used by God for His purposes. May the Christian Church be awakened again to a Biblical understanding of redemption and what it truly means to be saved by Jesus Christ!

In Orlando Javien's talk he openly tackles issues of faith including breaking the bondage of pornography, restoring a broken marriage, and overcoming financial hardship. He also shares his beautiful journey back to the Catholic faith.

The Daily Pulse (Saturday, September 21, 2013): Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them." John 14:23 (NIV)

This video jam titled "Proclaim the Lord to Be Your God" comes from a sermon preached by Dr. Vincent G. Artese titled "How Willing Are You to Proclaim the Lord to Be Your God?".

This sermon jam asks the question, "how willing are you?" In order to follow Christ one must have a desire to do so. God does not force anyone to follow Him, an individual must make a free choice to follow Him. The way of the cross is a way of suffering and loss. But the way of the cross is the way of life and freedom. Do not be ashamed of the Gospel! The Gospel is the power of God for salvation to all who believe. God will give a burning testimony and the power of the Holy Spirit to all those who choose to follow Him. May this sermon jam remind you of all of these truths! Also be sure to share it with others.
