James 2:14-17 — “What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, ‘Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”

About this project

Hi There....First of all we would like to thank our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for you and for your participation in backing our project. Thank you very much in advance. This is very much Your project as it is ours. We are so EXCITED that you are being a part of this new album production. You can rest assure it is for a good and worthy purpose. We have a heart for reaching the lives of young people through our music. This album will be inspiring, uplifting and Bumpin" !!!
We have been doing this type of Christian hip hop music for about nine years now. And it has been a long tough road. But with you and God on our side, we can't lose! We would like our music to reach as many people around the world as possible, especially the youth to inspire, uplift and hopefully draw them nearer to Christ. Or even introduce Christ to them for the first time through our songs. We've found that people of all ages enjoy our music, and that is such a blessing to us.
We are an independent artist group and write and record our own music at home on very low end budget equipment. About a year ago we recorded and produced our first album titled "Rich In Christ". We also produced our own beats. And although it came out pretty good for doing it ouselves, we would love to see this new album professionally mastered.
The money will be used for professional mastering, printing, cd manufacturing, promotion/marketing and distribution. And if we exceed our goal, we will use it to add, upgrade and/or improve our music equipment (like needing our own computer to store all of work so we don't have to nearly crash our mom's computer, lol.) and for more quality recording, venues and more promotion/marketing of the new album.
We also hope that you will enjoy your gifts when you receive them. We appreciate every dollar that you pledge and that's why we want you to receive something for your $1.00 pledge and above. We would also like to have the opportunity to be invited to your state to do either a private concert or come out to your church. You set the stage, lighting and sound sytem and we'll do the rest. And we can get to know each other and spend time together before and after the concert with some of your friends and family. Another one of our Exciting gifts is that we want You to be the one to name the title of our new album (Christ centered and approved) and we will produce a song for that title and add you to the credits on the CD.
We apologize, but we no longer have our radio show which was part of the gifts for the pledges, and have revised our pledge amounts and gifts. So check it out and we hope you will be pleased with the changes.
Thank you for becoming a backer, supporting our project and believing in our dream. We will keep you updated on everything we're doing with our music production on this new album, from how the recording is doing, mastering, print work, cd manufacturing, our artwork, video's, venues and CD distributions. With God's help, we believe that together we will reach our targeted goal. Thank you again for boosting us in our New Album Booster Campaign. May God bless you always. We only have 20 more day's left to do this.

To get them to fully comprehend that this walk in

“newness of life” is accomplished by obeying God from the heart.

Generally, the problem is not that the Bible is all that difficult to understand. Rather, those who read it find
much of what it says hard to accept , so they interpret it in a manner that is acceptable to them more compatible with their own views .
Why this self-delusion?
The problem is two fold. First , God tells us: “My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways . . . As the heavens are higher than the earth , so are My ways higher than your  ways , and My thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8-9).
Why is this so? Primarily because God’s thoughts and ways are based on love concern for others (Matthew 22:36-40). As humans, however, we are fundamentally self-centered; we first think of ourselves. Our natural tendency is to deceive ourselves so we can serve our own selfish interests. Jeremiah 17:9 points out that our “ heart”— our
basic human motivation and reasoning—“is deceitful above all
things”; it leads us into self-deception. We need to
recognize in ourselves this common characteristic of human nature and be willing to change it so God can transform us. We need a new way of thinking, a new heart and mind.
Our thinking must be changed by God’s Spirit so our
interests will be focused outward, enabling us to love others as we love ourselves. Commending Timothy ’s loving concern for others , Paul wrote:“ For I have no one like minded, who will sincerely care for your state. For all seek their own , not the things which are of Christ Jesus” Philippians 2:20-21.
