P.O.D & Pastor Raul Ries

P.O.D. Introducing Pastor Raul Ries

John 3:16 (The King James Version)

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


For God - The greatest Lover
so loved - The greatest degree
the world - The greatest company
that he gave - The greatest act
his only begotten son - The greatest gift
that whosoever - The greatest opportunity
believeth - The greatest simplicity
in him - The greatest attraction
should not perish - The greatest promise
but - The greatest difference
have - The greatest certainty
everlasting life - The greatest possession.

Keep On Praying

Keep on praying

O LORD, why do you stand so far away? Why do you hide them when I am trouble?
Psalm 10:1 Student's Life Application Study Bible NLT

To the psalmist God seemed far away, "Why do you hide when I am in trouble?" he asked God. But though he had honest doubts he didn't stop praying. He also didn't assume that God no longer cared. Would you have the same reaction in a moment of doubt? During those times when you feel alone or forgotten are you willing to stick with God?

I have been walking around with a heavy heart the last few days.
I will not stop praying.


I love you
Greater is HE that is in me, than he that is in the world.

Randy Travis - Raise Him Up

RAISE HIM UP by Randy Travis

When I first met his momma
She was just nineteen
Couldn't say for certain who the father was
I have known him since he was a pup
And I'm gonna raise him up

If you never knew your daddy
Like I never knew mine
It feels like everybody knows you're fatherless
This boy may not be blood of my blood
But I'm gonna raise him up

I'll provide for him
Walk beside of him
I am strong enough
Cause it's time he knew
What a son can do
With a father's love
He can change the world

Ya'll may have to look at joseph
A couple thousand years ago
When he held a newborn baby he named jesus
He said he may not be blood of my blood
Still I'm gonna raise him up

I'll provide for him
Walk beside of him
I am strong enough
I will show him too
What a son can do
With a fathers love
And he will change the world

Thirty-three years later
When the son was in his grave
Broken and abandoned by a world he came to save
His real dad said, He's mine
Blood of my blood
And I'm gonna raise him up

I'll provide for you
Walk beside of you
I am strong enough
I have seen from you
What a son can do
With a fathers love
One man changed the world
And he can change your world
But you gotta raise him up
Raise him up
