Some people have had spiritual visions and others have had real encounters. In recent years (2004), Kevin Malarkey and his then six-year-old son, Alex, suffered a horrific car accident. Two months later, Alex awoke from a coma with an incredible story to share. Unfortunately, the accident has caused him permanent and serious physical damage. This is one true story you might want to read.  A book was written about the experience. (The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven)

Before you call this a hoax or say some one is trying to make a dollar, here is a short video clip that will answer the question, “Has anyone seen heaven?” As you see Heaven and earth through this boy’s eyes, you’ll come away with new insights on miracles and life beyond this world.

Take a minute to view this video.

Alex received the “Christopher Reeve surgery’ which allows him to breathe without a ventilator. He can stand in a supportive frame for an hour at a time and with help, can walk on a treadmill while helpers move his legs. Alex is a special young man! Please pray for him.

Nayara Goncalves, was alone in the store in Pompano Beach, Florida when a man displayed a gun and demanded cash.  Nayara, the store manager and a devout Christian, calmly said,

“You can do whatever you want, but I’m just going to talk to you about Jesus, my God, before you leave.”

I want to write about this robbery not because of the robber but because this young lady had a heart to evangelize to a desperate man.  And the store was being robbed! What an opportunity to shine for Jesus. And Nayara chose to shine!

Take a look at the video. What would you have done in this situation? How do you handle tough situations that make you angry or afraid?

Shine for Jesus! Whatever situation you are going through, (And hopefully it’s not a robbery like Nayara Goncalve experienced!) let God enable you to talk to people about Jesus and the plans He has for them!If you are a Christian, take a stand and lovingly share the hope that awaits for those that do not know Him!

And remember the word of God at all times:  Do not be afraid, the Lord your God is with you.

One of the 10 Commandments is:

• You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

You aren’t jealous of your neighbor’s donkey but what about his car?

How often have you looked and longed for it?

If you know you need to stop bring jealous of others and possessions, we need to look at the root of the problem. Other 10 commandments state:

• You shall have no other gods before me.

• You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.

Learning to be content can be hard to do! But it’s not impossible when you have a relationship with the Almighty God of our universe! When you can appreciate the blessings God has given to you, you can become thankful for the abundance of things you have.

If you want to stop being jealous of others, pray and ask God to forgive you. Then, ask God to open your eyes to His many blessings in your life. Finally,  thank God for meeting all your needs!!

If you are a Christian, you may wonder how to balance government with your dedication to Christ. Let’s look at what the Bible says!

~Pray for Those in Government

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. -1 Timothy 2:1-2

~Pay Your Government Taxes

Then he (Jesus) said to them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” -Matthew 22:21

Psalm 33:12 states:

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

If you are a Christian, stand firm in your faith and know that you are on the winning team!!  Americans have the freedom to pray and meet in a church. Make sure this July 4th you thank God for that freedom that many countries do not have.

And Pray…

Pray for our soldiers

Pray for our nation

Pray for wisdom for our leaders in Government

God bless America!

The truth is that miracles still happen today! A Christian friend of mine experienced a miracle a few days ago and I wanted to share it with you. His name is Andres and he lives in Tennessee with his sweet wife, Melba.

Experiencing Christian miracles:

“Yesterday while I was driving on I40 in heavy rain, I lost control of my car and spun across 3 lanes of heavy traffic going over 60 mph and ended perfectly parked next to the concrete divider, facing the right way. All this happened while my wife was watching from another car that was following me.  I thought it was my time to go home! (heaven) But the Lord’s hand protected me and neither me or the car suffered a scratch!

I am able to testify of this because of God’s immense mercy and protection. Life is certainly like a mist, today we’re here, tomorrow we may not.  So live knowing God’s presence is always with you, and let’s be ready for the moment we meet Him face to face. Praise Him!”

Andres is a Christian and knows where he will go if he should die. How about you? Are you ready to meet your Creator?

Christian miracles do happen today. I have also experiences these wonderful miracles!  The God of the bible is the same Jehovah today and forever!

In a corner of the restaurant, balloons hung down with pretty ribbon,  red table coverings and real, single flowers were on each table. We were greeted with wonderful service and kind employees.

Sitting down, we were given a menu with our choice of toppings for the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. The Coral Springs location was including an entire meal experience. What a surprise!! We were asked what drink we wanted and also offered a choice of fries, cole slaw or a side salad. While eating, the employees returned and asked if everything was OK and offered to refill our drinks. They also brought the condiments of our choice and waited on us perfectly!

The food was delicious!! It included a warm bun, breaded chicken that had a kick to it and was very hot. The waffle fries were hot and each bite was perfect. The side salad I ordered included broccoli, carrots and grape tomatoes  and the dressing was enough to drench it, if desired.

Once done, the employees returned to our table and gave each of us a  coupon for a free breakfast biscuit. Another surprise ~~ slam-dunk! We are coming back for more free food and Chick-Fil-A gained two new customers!

From a Christian marketing perspective, we were very impressed with our whole experience. We knew Chick-Fil-A was fast food, but this experience will not disappear from our mind. We expected a sandwich but were embraced with a full meal, good service and a dining view that was a step above the norm!

Chick-Fil-A is a fast food restaurant franchise that serves some healthier choices of food. “Eat Mor Chikin” is their popular, catchy, marketing phrase. They are also well-known for not being open on Sundays ~ in respect to their Christian conviction to take a day of rest.  Don’t be surprised when their marketing campaigns are successful and their sales keep growing every year!

Where do you think we’ll go the next time we want to pick up some fast food? From our fast food reviews? Chick-Fil-A! And it’s my pleasure to say it.

Looking at YouTube videos, I saw a number of Christians making an effort to witness to Atheists. Christian videos can make a difference! When a Christian wants to get on the internet and witness to someone, there is an open door to Christian internet marketing. Here are 5 key elements needed to make sure your videos, message and marketing strategies are successful.

1. Create a video less then 3 minutes – Web users will leave a video (even if the video is interesting!) after 2 or 3 minutes maximum!
2. Add your website – At the end of your video,  in bold and easy to read font,  add your web address including www. Allow these words to linger long enough for the viewer to write it down or remember your website.
3. Title your video with good keywords – People searching will find your video.  Countless videos on YouTube do not use relevant words in their video titles.
4. Add a description to your video – Search engines will capture your initial words. Write the best keywords at the beginning of your description.
5. Add a click-able link to your website – When possible, use anchor text.

When you witness to an atheist, don’t put down others who don’t believe in Jesus Christ or Christianity. Use truth, but speak in words of love and kindness. Use humor, if possible ~ we all like to laugh at good humor. (Not sarcasm!) Show compassion to the atheist or unbeliever. Ultimately, pray for those who will view your video!

“In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33b

Use these tactics and know how to witness to an Atheist.  If you need some help with Christian internet marketing, contact us!

10.    Be kind to a stranger

Pay the toll for the person behind you and have fun wondering what they thought when the toll person says to them, “The person in the car ahead of you paid your toll!”

9.     Enjoy the beauty of a sunrise

The beautiful colors in a sunrise show us there is a Creator who designed this universe and gave you the gift of life. You might even see a sunrise outside your window.
Have you looked?

8.    Help someone less fortunate

How about the homeless person sleeping on the park bench? There are people in worse situations then you are in. You will feel good to help others and see them smile. It will bring a smile to your face. You can make a new friend!

7.    Listen to birds sing

You walk by the big oak tree every day and never think twice about those birds. Their sounds are uplifting and when you think about it you realize that God, their Creator, gave them beautiful voices they use to sing and make beautiful melodies we get to hear and enjoy!

6.    Look at a newborn baby

You usually focus on the crying and screaming. But if you ever look at a sleeping infant and see the incredible small eyes, nose and lips you know that there is a God who formed them in their mother’s womb. They are in need of a loving parent to guide them, protect them and help them.

5.    Laugh and be silly with a child

When your neighbor’s one year old laughs and giggles when you say “Boo!” and you hide behind the mail box it brings a smile to your face. You repeat the same game every day and every day this child laughs and enjoys interacting with you.

4.    Enjoy food like a kid

Remember the simple things in life like eating food almost as big as you are? Find some food and step outside without a plate! Enjoy the sunshine and whatever you eat!

3.    Cry with your neighbor when she needs you

If your neighbor comes home  and mentions that she got a pink slip, you can be there for her! Hugging her and crying with her can be her hope. Did you know you can help?

2.    Walk in the rain

Feel the raindrops splash on your face and let them join the tears on your face. Times can be tough. Emotions can feel overwhelming! The raindrops from heaven can be smoothing to your soul.

and the number one reason why life is worth living?….

1.    Because Jesus Christ lives!

Jesus wants to help you! He died for your sins and rose from the dead! He conquered death so YOU can have life with Him!
He has a plan for YOU and wrote the Bible to help YOU  live life abundantly with Him!

Life is worth living!

Dr. S.M. Lockridge stated it well in a sermon well-known as ” That’s My King.” Here are some of the words in Dr. Lockridge’s  sermon.  If you are visual and sound oriented,  watch the video afterwords.  It is excellent and will answer the question, “Who is the God of Christianity?”

The Bible says my King is the King of the Jews,
He’s the King of Israel,
He’s the King of Righteousness,
He’s the King of the Ages,
He’s the King of Heaven,
He’s the King of Glory,
He’s the King of kings, and He’s the Lord of lords.
That’s my King.  I wonder, do you know Him?

My King is a sovereign King.
No means of measure can define His limitless love.
He’s enduringly strong.
He’s entirely sincere,
He’s eternally steadfast,
He’s immortally graceful,
He’s imperially powerful,
He’s impartially merciful…Do you know Him?

He’s the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of this world.
He’s God’s Son,
He’s a sinner’s Savior,
He’s the centerpiece of civilization,
He’s unparalleled,
He’s unprecedented,
He’s the loftiest idea in literature,
He’s the highest personality in philosophy,
He’s the fundamental doctrine of true theology,
He’s the only one qualified to be an all sufficient Savior.
I wonder if you know Him today.

He supplies strength for the weak,
He’s available for the tempted and the tried,
He sympathizes and He saves,
He strengthens and sustains,
He guards and He guides,
He heals the sick,
He cleanses the lepers,
He forgives sinners,
He discharges debtors,
He delivers the captive,
He defends the feeble,
He blesses the young,
He serves the unfortunate,
He regards the aged,
He rewards the diligent and He beautifies the meek…I wonder if you know Him?

He’s the key to knowledge,
He’s the wellspring of wisdom,
He’s the doorway of deliverance,
He’s the pathway of peace,
He’s the roadway of righteousness,
He’s the highway of holiness,
He’s the gateway of glory…Do you know Him?

Well,  His promise is sure,
His light is matchless,
His goodness is limitless,
His mercy is everlasting
His love never changes,
His word is enough,
His grace is sufficient,
His reign is righteous, and His yoke is easy, and his burden is light.

I wish I could describe Him to you!
He’s indescribable,
He’s incomprehensible,
He’s invincible,
He’s irresistible.

Well, you can’t get Him out of your mind!
You can’t get Him off of your hand!
You can’t out live Him, and you can’t live without Him!

The Pharisees couldn’t stand Him, but they found out they couldn’t stop Him!
Pilate couldn’t find any fault in Him,
Herod couldn’t kill Him,
Death couldn’t handle Him, and the grave couldn’t hold Him! Yeah!
That’s my King, that’s my King!

Father, “Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, Forever”
and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever.

How long is that?
And ever, and ever, and when you get through with all the forevers, then,
Amen! Amen!

~By Dr. S.M. Lockridge

Good Friday is the day Christians believe Jesus Christ (the Messiah; the son of God) was crucified on a cross. Easter Sunday is the day Christians believe Jesus Christ rose from the dead!

So, what is the big deal?

1. You and I sin and deserve death as punishment.
2. God is perfect and holy.
3. We are unable to connect with God due to our own sins.

So what did God do? He loves us so much the Bible says:

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. -John 3:16,17

What is Easter about? Christians celebrate that Jesus rose from the dead on Easter Sunday. This means that death has been conquered! Easter is the day Jesus was resurrected from the dead! If some of this is a lot to comprehend, watch this video and pay close attention to the words of this song. This short video is a popular Christian song called “He’s Alive” by Don Francisco.

We hope this Easter you find a church to visit and learn more to answer the question, “What is Easter about?”  If you have questions, feel free to contact us.

Jesus is alive!!

Happy Easter!!

Adopting abused children is a burden that I have had for a few years. The Bible says:

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. – James 1:27

As a Christian, I would love to see every Christian couple commit to adoption or foster care. And that is the reason for this post on our Christian internet marketing blog. If you want more facts, adoption and foster care information from your state can be found at Heart Gallery of America.

Make a difference in the life of a child today!

And so I ask you. Is Christian internet marketing only for Christians? It shouldn’t be! The Bible says we are to be “the salt of the earth.” If we are “shining like stars in the universe” we should be seen in the dark world. How can the light be bright unless the environment is  dark?

My point is that we have great news we should be sharing with the non-believer. If non-believers are searching for information in Google or reading articles and press releases, why wouldn’t the Christian WANT to put the good news of Jesus Christ in that arena?

Time and time again this is not the course of action. Web sites are built, articles and books are written, and the only people glancing at them or reading them is the Church! So how do we change this cycle? By getting informed. For example, to improve internet marketing you can:

1. Optimize web content
2. Get involved in social media
3. Understand the different aspects of  internet marketing

If you are a Christian and have a passion to get the gospel out to a dark world, find out what you need to do to achieve this goal for the glory of God. And if you need some help, feel free to contact us so we can help you shine for Jesus!

In the United States, society created a counterfeit representation of what love is about. People sometimes have suicidal thoughts based off of what they think is love.  So… what is love?

Valentine’s Day is the day we celebrate love.  “Love?”, you say, ” I don’t have anyone!”.  Oh, but you do. And someone loves YOU very, very much! ♥

Please take a minute to watch this Valentine’s Day inspirational message. I pray the emptiness and ache in your life will be filled as you watch this animated, Valentine’s Day card.

May you have a genuine Happy Valentine’s Day this February 14th!
