God Says “Hello” With a Post Sunset Surprise

Last year I posted about a stunning sunset and how “…God is not far from anyone of us.” The same is just as true this year as last. I was not able to get a photograph of the sunset that preceded these blood red clouds but I have seen some. It was another phenomenal display of how awesome God is.

Following is a short youtube video I shot of the red clouds and a couple of digital stills.

God willingly crushed Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior on the Cross and His spilled blood is the New Covenant. There is no other way to gain salvation, period.

 

In Christ,

mystudies. I’ve recently been reading through the Gospel of John, I read Chapter Chapter 7 today so I’ll be backing up a little bit and starting over. I’m hoping that others will also do Inductive Studies of the Gospel of John for themselves, and please do feel free to comment and question in the comments section below the posts if ou have questions and I will as always endeavor to answer them for you.

See you in the near future with a study of approximately the first 5 verses of the Gospel of John.

Scientists Hide Time a Glimpse of How God calls for Departure?

I’ve just read a very interesting article that can be found at a link at the bottom of this post in which scientists erased TIME!

Image via Wikipedia

That’s right some scientists at Cornell University actually erased time for 40 Trillionths of a second!

If you think that sounds like a short amount of time it is- it is an incredibly fractional amount of time. However there is one person who can hide time if you will for an even shorter period, and He promised to do that for His Bride. This person is God and that promise is known as the Rapture (Greek: Harpazo) which means to be snatched out by force. The event is described in fantastic detail in 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18- but there’s another passage that discusses just how FAST this Rapture is going to take.

1st Corinthians 15:51-53

51 Behold! I tell you a mystery.  We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and w this mortal body must put on immortality.

What exactly is the Twinkling of an eye? How fast is that?

Origins…Meaning…Purpose…Destiny

I’m not able to participate in Market Night (Thursday Night downtown in Redlands California) as much anymore seeing as the Lord called me to participate in a Bible Study group that meets on Thursday nights- but I still take the time to help when I can. Last night was one of those nights I had a very enjoyable time sharing God’s Grace with those who came by the booth.

On the Aeropagus banner across the top of the booth are the words Origins-Meaning-Purpose-Destiny, I’ve found that sharing using those four words as a basis to be quite helpful. Discussing these four words objectively can help make sharing your faith a lot easier than it sometimes seems, and let’s be honest sharing ones faith can be very intimidating.

After the break I’ll take each word and break it down into a way to open the way of communication, hopefully you’ll find this post helpful and it will enable you to feel more confident in sharing your faith!

This Long Uncomfortable Silence, Broken by a Thought

Yeah this has been one that’s for certain.

I’d like to apologize to my readers for being so very silent and only posting new videos when I have updated the blog. This was

certainly not intentional, I simply have been swamped with a million projects and am almost constantly working on one thing or another.

I will be returning to a more active blogging schedule soon.

Praise God of the gift of His Son.

This is the time of year when we need to remember our Lord and Savior, the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

The BibleRunner Webisode 2! “Jordan called a 777!”

It’s time for a new episode of The BibleRunner webseries!

Hope you guys enjoy it.

The BibleRunner Webisode One!

Here is Webisode One of The BibleRunner! Now WITH FIXED Subtitles!

Synopsis: It is two years after the Rapture of the Church. The Global Protective Forces (GPF) are constantly on the lookout for Christians who continually disturb the peace with their singular outlook. The world thought that it would be quieter when all those Christians vanished, but now there are more in this surviving remnant than there ever were before. However Christians are forced to exist in underground communities referred to as the Christian Underground (C.U.), they are branded as criminals, and snatched from the streets on a whim by GPF forces. It is in this would that I found Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, now my life is His and I do the work He wants me to do. Along with groups of like people around the world I’m part of a team of people called Runners, we deliver sensitive information from C.U. location to C.U. location. The Bible has been outlawed and those found are destroyed, it is my job to get the Word, hard copy or digital- or what ever needs to be transported safely to its destination. We do this by foot- there is too much surveillance on public transportation- and the average citizen would turn us in for a nickle.

My name is Damian McAnders…but I’m known as The BibleRunner.

This is a short film if you will nearly 15 minutes in length shot on location in Redlands California.

Thanks for viewing!

In Christ,

Here’s the one with the Voiceover.

 

Yes I’ve gone and done it, I’m going to ask for help to deliver a much better realization the the BibleRunner Universe through the pastoral staff of the churches I attend to make the BibleRunner Webisodes exciting and high impact.

I shot the teaser trailer using my Sony Point and Shoot Digital and the music is from the Soundtrack for my one of my old fanscripts which  Andy Barnes composed for me many moons ago.

I will be uploading the same trailer with a voice over track instead tomorrow.

Hope this has piqued your interest.

A Homeless Man Looks at Psalm 23

Image by Isolino via Flickr

I thought it high time that I finally share some more of my poetry on here on the BibleRunner and I can think of no better reason to write my first poetry post, in a long time, then about Psalm 23.

I wrote this verse on Psalm 23 for a book that my Mum is putting together, since we are working on a different edit of the verse for that publication, one that I feel differs significantly from the original you are about to see I have chosen to post the original here. The story behind this verse is that I was asked to write the 23rd Psalm from the perspective of my time being homeless and living on the street by Grace through Faith.  (Technically I am still homeless in that I am living with a Brother in Christ in his place by his grace).

So last week I sat down to finally take a good long look at the 6 verses of the 23rd Psalm to break it down, and I wrote the first of many drafts. Yesterday God brought me back to it again with the unconventional, and daunting proposal, of writing it more as a traditional Psalm than a poem.  I’m humbled to share that psalm/poem with you today.

I’ve numbered the verses of my poem so that you can tell where each verse of the original Psalm is broken down. I hope you find peace as I share with you: When I’m Walking the Streets.
