What Petition?
Submitted by Adam Beck on Sat, 05/02/2009 - 20:16Luke 1:5-25
In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. They were both righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord. But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.
A Word Paints a Thousand Pictures
Submitted by Adam Beck on Sat, 05/02/2009 - 18:37I was at my church in prayer early on Wednesday morning, April 29, 2009. As I was praying I began to pray some Scripture I have committed to memory from St. James.
“Thank you, LORD that You are the Giver of all good things. Every good and perfect gift is from above; coming down from the Father of Lights, in Whom is no variableness or shadow of turning.” I memorized the first chapter of James over ten years ago. During that time I was reading the King James Version. =) Then I continued onto verse 18. “Of His own will begat He us with the word of truth…”
What did you call me?

"And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, 'Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?'
And Jesus said unto him, 'Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honor thy father and mother.'
And he answered and said unto him, 'Master, all these have I observed from my youth.'
My Name is Jerry
Submitted by Adam Beck on Wed, 07/23/2008 - 11:38I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. Right now I'm in Muncie, Indiana. I've been here for a week. I was on the road with Denver for five days before I arrived here.
I'm working on a movie called My Name is Jerry. I'm in the sound department. My responsibilities include placing microphones, boom operator, cable wrangler, and whatever else the sound mixer needs me to do.
I'll be back in Nashville this weekend.
There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Submitted by Adam Beck on Tue, 06/03/2008 - 09:30Someone once asked Jesus, "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus answered by quoting what we now know as Deuteronomy 6:5 when he said, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets." Matthew 22:36-40
The Could Samaritan
Submitted by Adam Beck on Tue, 05/27/2008 - 19:48A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and the stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
A Day to Dream
Submitted by Adam Beck on Mon, 05/26/2008 - 13:16This past Saturday was the second Saturday in a row in which I had no work scheduled. Even though it was frustrating for me, it was good to have a chance for some personal time.
Last Saturday I went climbing at Tennessee Wall with Karina and our long-time friend, Kate. This past weekend I had set apart for focused and intentional dreaming.
Don's Miracle
Submitted by Adam Beck on Mon, 05/26/2008 - 11:52Today is Memorial Day. Karina and I went to the river this morning for a jog. When we returned to the parking lot we were met by a man who inquired about the length of the greenway. We told him about the trail that followed the river and then began a pleasant conversation in which we learned a few facts about each other.
