This was a somewhat bland song that my friend Leon wasn't sure how to bring it even greater depth and substance, so I gave it some thought while listening to his base tune, and the Lord filled in the rest through the gifting He gave to me in music. I composed all the orchestral strings, deeper bass and backup vocals to go along with Leon's drums and guitars. This is why I really enjoy working collaboratively with other artists. Freedom

I dedicated this to my first wife who was murdered by doctors in one of those large corporation hospitals that would not allow any of the alternative medicines for treating COVID infections in the lungs that were already proving highly successful in clinics and hospitals down in Texas and other areas of the country. Unshaken

Of all the old time gospel hymnals out there, this is one of my favorite, and I simply could not resist doing a remake composition with its own sound qualities using a water-piano sound distortion to the concert piano recording. The Bechstein piano recorded was borrowed since I absolutely could not afford one myself. To Him Who Sits on the Throne

The day I composed this one, I just had a feel for putting something together that was more up-beat and catchy, using some electric guitars along with some acoustics. The name was derived after the composition was complete and sound engineered. The base tune is from a demo for a studio sound device that I composed some enhancements for. The programmer for the device liked the result. Mighty and Glorious

This is one that will have a span of effect, depending on the mood one is in. Other composers understand how our music is an expression through non-words. Some can sense it, some cannot. I hope this carries you to on the waves of what motivates dreams of great things. Dreams

Flight

The title is simple, but it expresses the serenity that flight can elicit when not having to deal with turbulence in the atmospherics around you. It's a rendition of an old tune that Aldo Nova did years ago, except that I did this on a cathedral pipe organ coupled together with strings. It has a majestic flow to it that I've always liked. Flight

The music in this video I composed before I had ever envisioned a use for the piece. I grabbed this video online, put it together with the song, and wah-lah, and audio-video production was made. Jet Flight

I worked this one with the Haim sisters. They were an upcoming band a few years ago, and still tour small venues every now and then across Western and Eastern Europe. The name pretty much sums up the reason for the encouragements they sang in their lyrics. I did the bass and other strings and backing voices in the remix. They really liked the dynamics I put into their tune. Falling

I composed and performed the instrumentation for this one, and had Gayle, a dear Christian friend over in Tennessee, write and sing the lyrics for the music. I let her have complete creative license for this one when it comes to lyrics. Finding real vocal and lyric writing talent out there who isn't out for instant fame and fortune, THAT has been the main problem I as a composer have been having. They all want Taylor Swift fame and fortune to their name and bank accounts rather than to work toward success. That's why my music projects pretty much came to a slow ebb a few years ago, waiting for some talent to come along who didn't have their heads i…

This was a fun piece to work through. I just had a hankering for something that had a marching type feel to it; the marching of a mighty army. Assaulting the Gates of Hell

This composition of mine was based upon some sound experimentation I tried out with some sound engineering equipment and note dynamics I had not ever performed before. Spiritual Eclipse

I composed and performed this song in its entirety. It has touched many minds and hearts with peace and helped some to enter into that sanctum of praise, which also helped, as some stated, get them to the place of worship they found hard to get into in the midst of the hustle and bustle of daily life. Mercy and Joy

I see where one original was destroyed. Where is the second? Jeremiah 36:1-26 Records the writing and destruction of the first scroll: 1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, ... 4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book. ... 21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king. 22 Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him. 23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth. Jeremiah 36:32 records the rewrite. 32 Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words. An original destroyed and then rewritten, with added details of events that transpired since the first writing, by divine inspiration. Psalms 12:6-7 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. -

If memory serves, the first two copies of Jeremiah were destroyed as it was being written. God preserves his Word through copies. -
Christmas is a season of song. Everywhere you go at Christmastime, there is music. Even secular songs echo the cheer of the season. And, of course, the Christian carols of Christmas are rich in celebration and worship. This makes Christmas a wonderful season to sing. But not all Christmases are melodic. Some seasons choke our songs. Grief, loss, anxiety, or other hurts weigh on our hearts and burden our spirits. Can we sing then? The good news is that what we celebrate at Christmas is larger than a feeling of festivity. We who know Christ celebrate the reality that God came into our world and is right now present with us. This is reason to sing regardless of your circumstances. Earlier this year, I wrote a small book along these lines. Titled Songs in the Night, this new book will lead you on a journey through the Christmas story by way of five beloved carols. Writing this book reminded me of the multi-faceted reasons Christmas gives us to sing. Christ’s coming to Earth brings hope, humility, peace, proclamation, and joy—five truths that inspire our songs this season. Why should we sing this Christmas? 1. Because of the Hope Christ Brings Christmas reminds us that God has not forgotten His promises. From the first prophecy of a Savior in Genesis 3:15 to the angel’s announcement to Mary, the story of Christmas is steeped in hope fulfilled. God’s supernatural fulfillment of His promise to send a Savior assures us that He will also keep every other promise He has made to us. Christmas reminds us that God has not forgotten His promises. Share on X As Christians, then, we can sing—not because everything in our lives are going great, but because of the hope we have in Christ and our confidence in His promises. This hope isn’t just for a better tomorrow—it’s the assurance of God’s presence today and the promise of eternity with Him. Even in seasons of heartache, we can sing because we know Jesus is our hope. 2. To Express Humility through Worship Christmas challenges our notions of greatness. The King of kings was not born in a palace but in a humble stable in Bethlehem. He chose an insignificant town and ordinary parents for His entrance into the world. This humility reflects God’s heart and invites us to worship Him in humility. Actually, true worship requires humility. Singing praise to God, especially in our seasons of difficulty, is a way to affirm that we believe He is great and that His heart toward us is good. Singing can be a way to acknowledge our need for Him and our surrender to His will. 3. To Calibrate Your Heart in the Peace of God Peace doesn’t come through comfortable surroundings or perfectly-crafted moments. It isn’t the result of the absence of sound or a rest from external pressures. Peace comes through the presence of God. Jesus came to bring us peace with God. He ultimately came to give His life for our sins on the cross so that we can be reconciled to God. When we have trusted Christ as our Savior, we then have the very presence of God in our lives through the indwelling Holy Spirit. And He gives us the peace of God. Because Jesus is with us, we can experience peace in our souls as we trust His sovereignty and bring our needs to Him in prayer. This Christmas, you can rest in the peace that Jesus provides, knowing that it is not the absence of trouble but the assurance of His presence that steadies our hearts. This Christmas, you can rest in the peace that Jesus provides, knowing that it is not the absence of trouble but the assurance of His presence that steadies our hearts. Share on X 4. To Proclaim the Gospel to the World The angels’ announcement to the shepherds was more than a declaration; it was an invitation to share the good news. Christmas calls us to proclaim the message of Christ’s birth to those who do not know Christ. And Christmas is one of the easiest times of the year to tell people about Jesus and even to invite them to gospel-themed Christmas events. Like many churches, we are hosting special services this Christmas season, all of which include the beautiful sounds of the season in song and the preached Word of God and invitation to trust Jesus as Savior. 5. To Enlarge Your Joy The joy Christ came to bring is not dependent on our circumstances; it is rooted in the truth of who Jesus is. At Christmas, we rejoice because Jesus has come, and He has made a way for us to know Him personally. This joy is discovered as we purposefully seek God. The joy Christ came to bring is not dependent on our circumstances; it is rooted in the truth of who Jesus is. Share on X The wise men who came to worship Christ experienced joy in their search and their discovery. We also experience joy as we seek the Lord and personally discover His faithfulness and goodness. Singing about Him emphasizes these truths and enlarges our joy. Songs in the Night In the midst of every challenge of life, Jesus’ coming to Earth and His presence in our lives is a story worth singing about. Tweet this: In the midst of every challenge of life, Jesus’ coming to Earth and His presence in our lives is a story worth singing about. Share on X As mentioned earlier, I recently published a new book, Songs in the Night, which leads readers on a journey through the Christmas story by way of five beloved carols. Each chapter gives a brief history of the writing of the carol while focusing on what Jesus came to give us that first Christmas. “Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus”—Hope “O Little Town of Bethlehem”—Humility “Silent Night”—Peace “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”—Proclamation “Joy to the World”—Joy Whether this Christmas feels jubilant or sorrowful, whether you need songs of joy or comfort, I pray that the message of this book will encourage you to find your song in Jesus. Songs in the Night is available through Striving Together Publications or Amazon and makes a wonderful devotional or gift during this Christmas season. View the full article -

It isn't an ordinance, it is a grace, the prescription is in the text mentioned above and in the example Jesus mentioned: Mark 12:44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
