Hope & Faith

In December 2011, 21-year-old Victoria’s Secret model Kylie Bisutti stunned the fashion industry when she chose faith over fame and fortune and made the switch from supermodel to role model. In I’m No Angel, Kylie shares her story—from her early years struggling to make it big in the cut-throat world of modeling, her “big break” winning the Victoria’s Secret Angel competition, and the disillusionment and spiritual warfare that followed, to the moment she realized that she could no longer reconcile her career with her Christian beliefs, surrendered her life to God, turned in her Angel wings, and dedicated her life to preaching a message of modesty and inner beauty. Along the way, Kylie talks about her personal struggles with inadequacy, low self-esteem, and her near-constant quest for approval in a world where you can never be thin enough, pretty enough, or sexy enough. She helps readers understand that true beauty lies within and that real fulfillment comes from knowing, loving, and serving Christ.

The Daily Pulse (Tuesday, March 26, 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)

Psalm 91

God is always there. All we have to do is turn to Him who is able to help us through all our troubles.

This video jam titled "Do you want to go back to Egypt?" comes from a sermon preached by Dr. Vincent G. Artese titled "Do you want to go back to Egypt?".

Will you continue to go on with Jesus Christ or do you want to go back to Egypt? Jesus reminds us to "Remember Lot's wife".

This is from the annual Passion Conference album, from 2013. The theme was "Let The Future Begin", and that's the title of the album. This is a beautiful song that Christy Nockels wrote and performed. Oh, how special it is to delight in the Lord. And it's so easy to do that, since His arms are wide open.

The Daily Pulse (Monday, March 25, 2013): On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’” Mark 11:15-18 (NIV)

The Daily Pulse (Sunday, March 24, 2013): The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the king of Israel!” John 12:12-19 (NIV)

Lots of people hope in lots of things. Lots of people are disappointed. Those who hope in God's love will never be disappointed.

The Daily Pulse (Friday, March 22, 2013): “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” John 8:54-59 (NIV)

This variation of the old hymn "At The Name Of Jesus", written in 1870 by Caroline Noel, was played as part of a Tanzania missionary video presentation at my church. I asked the missionaries who it was that was singing, but they didn't know. I've asked several friends who know a lot about Christian music, and none of them knew. Couldn't find it in iTunes. Couldn't find it in CCLI. Does anybody out there recognize this rendition? The lyrics are the same as the traditional hymn, but the tune is different. The woman singing sounds Irish to me, but I could be wrong. Anyway, it's a gorgeous version of the hymn.

Hello pastor, I really enjoy listening to you on the website Enseigne-moi.com. I was born again in 2006 after having gone through a divorce and a deep depression. At the time, I just wanted to die. I then met a Christian, decided to follow a bible course and at last got baptized after 6 years of doubt. I must say, I am quite Cartesian in nature and my life has not been an easy ride but rather a rough one where I have had to hold on, so as not to let myself drown. I had hoped that my life would get better once I had become a Christian and that God would change my life. It has now been 6 years. Today I find myself still alone without a husband, living in a small apartment, driving a small car without a job and only some state aid as income. I still love God and his Word but quite honestly, I have given up. The weight has dried up the life in my bones and my faith is very low despite praying, begging, waiting, hoping, it has been nothing but desert. I think it must be something to do with me; something is not right; but what is it? Please answer me pastor if you have time. M Celeste Martin
