This is a little off the beaten track for a gang website but I found this video about Tim Tebow and thought I would add it to the site to show what can happen when somebody truely commits their life to the LORD. Tebow’s football skills have given him the chance to play in front of a lot of people but his commitment to Christ has made him the talk of the nation and given him a platform to proclaim the grace of Christ. This is just a fun video that gives an indication of the heights Tebow has reached around the country. Hope you enjoy it for what it is.

Why?
Posted: March 14, 2011 in Evangelism, Forgiveness, Gangs, Gangs and God, Get Involved, Inspiration, Intervention, Music, Responsible ChristianityWhy? That’s the question I’ve received on several occasions when I told people I was working with guys and gals in the Chicago street gangs. Why would I want to do that? The implication is that there are better things I could do with my time than work with a group that most people only want to ignore and stay away from. The underlying premise of that question is that these people are not worth it. Well, I believe they ARE worth it. To my way of thinking, however, it seems only logical to offer myself as a means of reaching out to a group that matters greatly to God. These are guys and gals that are smart and have a set of gifts that God has given them. The gifts may not yet have been used for what God purposed them, but the gifts are there and God wants them put to a better more worthy use. These young men and women are important to God, so they are important to me. They are so important, in fact, that God has asked me to go to them with the message of his love and forgiveness. So, I go out of my own love for these people, but out of a love that is really born in the heard of God. It’s a love he’s given me to share with them. So, knowing what God has done for me, how can I refuse to do what he’s asked me to do. If I don’t do it, he’ll find someone else to do it, but I want to be part of what he’s asked me to do. It’s there that I will find real peace, and its there that a lot of Gs will find what they are really looking for. Here’s a song that talks about this:

KLOVE – My Favorite Music Station
Posted: February 4, 2011 in Arts, Bible, Education, Evangelism, Gospel, Movies and Movie Reviews, Music, Organizations, Video and TVI know I have a KLOVE widget on the left side of the webpage, but I wanted to give a shout out for my favorite radio Station. Its KLOVE and you can find it at fm 94.3 in Chicago (the call numbers will be different if you want to find it any place else in the country). Though the majority of the music is contemporary Christian in nature, offerings run the gamut from rap to soul. It has a great message and provides information on major music events all over the country, and more! It’s a great resource and I think you’ll like it so tune in and let me know. Here is the link so you can listen online:
