Tributes on Social Media by Fans as Modern Gospel Legend Andrae Crouch dies at 72

 

Andrae Crouch, often described as the “father of modern gospel music,” died Thursday in Los Angeles after suffering a heart attack last week, according to news reports. Crouch has been hospitalized in recent years for a variety of health issues, including diabetes and cancer.

Crouch won seven Grammy awards during his career and is credited with blending traditional black gospel music with R&B, pop and Christian music. Crouch led choirs that appeared on massive pop hits such as Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror” and Madonna’s “Like A Prayer.” He received an Academy Award nomination for his compositions for “The Color Purple,” and his music can be heard in “The Lion King” musical, too.

Full Of Faith

If you are anything like me, the word faith is tad bit overwhelming. It’s one of those concepts in Christianity that is often abstract. It’s not concrete and tangible. So it can be hard to grasp sometimes.

I like the things that I can touch and see. But that’s not what faith is.

Hebrews 11:1 tells us:

Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

To have faith in God, His promises, and His Word means that we stand confident and assured that they exist — whether or not we see Him at work. To have this kind of faith is easier said than done, but it is possible.

When I was thinking about my one word for 2015, a few words came to mind. But the Lord really highlighted one of them for me. FAITH. For some time now, He has been calling me to greater faith, deeper faith. This is difficult for me because I’ve walked through countless seasons, that I call “Job Seasons.” I’ve walked through extreme lack, hurt, loss, and pain.

3 Ways To Know He Fits You Right...

If it's not a wedding picture, it's a baby picture. Everyone around me seem to be getting married all of a sudden and it got me thinking...I need to take this 'relationship' thing serious cos I'm not getting any younger.

 

I've gone for a couple of blind dates, meet a couple of guys online, make friends easily, active in church *you know I might just be located there* wink* endeavor to smile and seem sweet as often as possible.

 

Not until I met this guy that seem to be 'THE ONE' considering some easily noticeable reasons but  my whole heart is not welcoming him totally. Then it hit me.

THE WORD FROM ABOVE FOR 2015

I am delighted to welcome you to Year 2015.

 

A year of Change, Success, Abundance, Prosperity, Greatness and New Annointing.

 

This year will indeed be one that we will never forget for good. The Joy of the Lord will continually be ours from January to December.

 

By the special Grace of God, we will grow in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

To begin this year on this blog, I will like to share with you what was laid in my heart for this year;

My Child. My Call. My Ministry

My lesbian partner is threatening to expose me

A female LIB reader shared this story to seek peoples opinion on what she should do...

I would like to share my problem and hopefully get some good advice on this predicament I have found myself. I am 24 and grew up in a Christian home where going to church was the only recreational activity allowed in my house. My parents are pastors and they pastor a large pentecostal church in lagos. 

LifeStyle: A Better Way to Pray By Andrew Wommack

Prayer is something that every Christian knows they need to do but very few Christians feel like they have a successful prayer life. There are many reasons for that. It may surprise you to find that one of the big reasons believers struggle with prayer is because of all the wrong teaching they've received about it. In this series, Andrew counters many modern religious traditions about prayer and establishes a foundation upon which a rewarding and effective prayer life can be built upon.

I have listened to Andrew Wommack messages and it has really blessed my life and help to improve my lifestyle as a Christian. For this reason, I am inspired to share his messages with you. You can download the full audio message here for free.
