His Grace, August 2018

Owner/Publisher: Rob Wood

Can you honestly say that you know your Creator? Can you speak truthfully about Him? Have you ever wanted to get to know the real God? He is not judgmental nor is he a push-over. He is a God of love and compassion and He loves everyone. 1 John 4:16 “And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.”

We are all sinners. God is holy.

He cannot nor will not tolerate sin.

Sin is a fine line that runs between Christians. A lot of people think that because God is love, He won’t put anyone in hell. When we die and pass from this life, we will all come face to face and kneel before our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Whether we have a loving personal relationship with Him or not, we will face Him. The way we live our life and the choices we make in this world, in all essence, will determine where we spend eternity. John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life.

No one comes to the Father except through Me." The fact is, God doesn’t want anyone in hell… but we put ourselves in hell when we live outside of His will. If we live

Movie in Review...

I Can Only Imagine “The story of MercyMe singer, Bart Millard” A few years later, Bart is now in Lakeside High School dating Shannon.

Hoping to impress and get on his father’s good side, he begins playing football.

However, he is badly injured, breaking both ankles, which ends his football career. So now to make up credits that he will miss from playing football, he signs up for music classes, the only available class that is left. Bart is assigned by his teacher to be the sound technician.

I

Can Only Imagine is a 2018 Christian movie that is based on the life of Bart Millard and the story behind the MercyMe song of the same name. I Can Only Imagine is the best selling Christian song of all time. Bart wrote the song about his relationship with his father.

Coming from a home with an abusive father, 10 year old Bart Millard's mother drops him off at a Christian camp, where he meets Shannon. When Bart returns home from camp, he finds out his mother has left and the movers are removing all the belongings from the house. This leads to many physical confrontations with his father, Arthur.

However after he is caught by the director singing in the empty auditorium, she casts him as Curly, which is the lead role in the production of Oklahoma. Bart doesn't tell his father of the part he has in the play. While Bart has risen to the singing demands of the part, his father collapses with severe abdominal pains but doesn't tell Bart or Shannon about his cancer diagnosis. The following morning, Bart voices frustrations with his father, and Arthur ends up smashing a plate over Bart's head in anger. But when Shannon starts pressing for Bart to open up, he responds to her by breaking up with her and leaving after graduation.

He then connects to a band who would become MercyMe. After

attracting the attention of Christian music producer Scott Brickell, Scott gets them showcased in Nashville which leads to meetings with Amy Grant and Michael Smith. While the band felt their performance was the best of their career, the industry rejected them, as they told them they weren't good enough to sell records.

Bart returns home and is greeted lovingly by his father, who makes breakfast for him the next morning. Arthur tells him that he has become a Christian but Bart rejects his father's offer to start over. When Bart prepares to leave, he learns that his father has cancer. After hearing the news, he reconciles with his father and they form a bond before Arthur passes.

Bart rejoins the band after Arthur's funeral and writes I Can Only Imagine. The movie grossed 85 million worldwide on a budget of 7 million.

Starring J. Michael Finley, Madeline Carroll, Trace Adkins, Dennis Quaid, Priscilla Shirer, Cloris Leachman.

Director Erwin Brothers Producers Cindy Bond, Kevin Downes, Daryl Lefever, Mickey Liddell, Pete Shilaimon, Raymond Harris, Joe Knopp.

I Can Only Imagine is available on Blue ray and DVD now.

Until next time, God bless you all, from everyone here at His Grace.

I Can Only Imagine

A true story of total forgiveness

By: Bart Millard with Robert Noland

This very inspiring and incredibly true story of how Bart Millard was led to write MercyMe's big hit song "I Can Only Imagine." It had me on an incredible emotional wave that ended in the best possible way.

Bart Millard shares this story of his live and the incredible journey he traveled on with his abusive father. His father got a job with the Texas Highway Department as a flagman. One day in 1969, as he was flagging cars, a diesel truck struck Bart's' father and throwing him at least fifty feet into the air, knocking him unconscious. Miraculously, his love for music as well. he had no broken bones, but he When Bart was 15, his father was in a coma. was diagnosed with cancer.

When he awoke from his coma, this was a pivotal point in their he went from being a lovable, lives. His father was becoming nice happy guy, to being a bitter more dedicated to the church, "monster." The target being strengthening his relationship Bart himself. Bart never had the which became of love and opportunity to know the nice friendship instead of hatred and guy his father once was, but after anger. was subjected to emotional and After the death of his father, Bart physical abuse. channeled everything he had At 8 years of age Bart was left by his mother and was forced to stay with his abusive father.

After feeling very abandoned, he really didn't know what to do.

So Bart took solace in his church and built a family around it all so he could escape all the pain and depression of his home life. Not only did his church and his faith help him through it all, but so did

gone through to write MercyMe's number one hit song. Not only was it a huge hit in Christian music, but also in the mainstream music around the world. The song meant so much to Bart, and he came to find out, it would also hold a lot of meaning to their fans as well. This story was a wonderful journey of forgiveness and much more.

I could not put this book down at all, it was emotionally gripping. I definitely recommend this book for anyone.

It is Christian based and I personally feel that just adds to the incredible story, one of total forgiveness.

Through the raw emotion Bart Millard shows everyone with a depth look at his life, all the struggles, twists and turns that he ended up taking to be a part of the hit band MercyMe.

But Bart's story is much more then being a star singer. Its all about redemption and forgiveness and the truly life changing that comes from having a personal relationship with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Bart said; while it has often been a hard road to travel, and honestly, the success sometimes only made it harder, one thing I know for certain is that the gospel is more alive to me today then ever, thanks to the front-row seat I was given to watch Jesus change my dad.

- From a feared monster to a faithful mentor.

- From a abusive dad to a loving father.

- From a heart of stone to a life of grace.

When we open the door to our hearts and let Jesus in, and lay it all at His feet, we will receive His Grace, Pure Undeserving Grace.

I Can Only Imagine The Very Best of MercyMe...

ercyMe is an American Christian rock band formed in 1994. With the passionate vocals of Bart Millard and guitarist Jim Bryson, MercyMe became one of the most sought after acts of the 2000’s.

Their style of praise incorporates the pop and rock genres to create a beautiful expression of worship.

Undoubtedly, Bart Millard has one of the best voices and "Imagine" is both haunting and moving.

"I Can Only Imagine" is one of the most popular and very powerful Christian songs of all time. It is a ballad which is based around a main piano track before opening up to include drums and guitar. The song was inspired by the death of Bart Millard's father. Lyrically, it considers what it will be like in Heaven, standing before God. "I Can Only Imagine" was first released as a track on MercyMe's 1999 independent album, The Worship Project. The song was also recorded and included on their 2001 debut album Almost There as the fifth song on the album.

significant airplay on Christian radio formats before crossing over to the mainstream radio such as adult contemporary and All Hit Top 40 in 2003 and into 2004.

“I Can Only Imagine” charted on several formats, including the Billboard adult contemporary (Where it hit at No. 5) and the Hot 100 (Where it hit at No. 71). With 2.5 million copies sold, it is the best selling Christian song of all time, since being certified 3x platinum as of 2018 and it is the only Christian song to reach this milestone.

In 2003, a double A-side physical single of “I Can Only Imagine” (combined with the song "Word of God Speak") was released. “Word of God Speak” features only the piano and strings to accompany Millard’s vocals. The lyrics reflect on the idea that it is impossible to speak of an infinite God with a limited vocabulary.

"I Can Only Imagine" was released in 2001 as the album’s lead single. It proved to be successful and peaked at number one on the Radio and Records Christian AC chart in 2002. It earned the Dove Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year and Song of the Year.

Bart Millard earned the Dove Award This song also won the Dove for Songwriters of the Year at the Awards and Song of the Year at the same ceremony. The song gained 35th GMA Dove Awards. Millard

wrote the song while touring in support of their single “I Can Only Imagine”. He commented in an interview that while on tour, he "went to bed just really frustrated...

It started feeling like everything I was saying was the same”. "Word of God Speak" spent 23 weeks atop the Billboard Christian Songs chart, a record for that chart and it spent a total of 76 weeks on that chart altogether.

Earlier in 2018, MercyMe unveiled their greatest hits album, The Very Best of MercyMe, which is a collection of the band’s thirteen most beloved songs, along with a very special version of the monster hit "I Can Only Imagine", which became the center of a feature film named the same (the movie session).

This album features MercyMe's biggest Christian radio hits, including "Word of God Speak", "Bring the Rain", "Greater" and "God With Us". The greatest hits collection features all of MercyMe’s favorites, with singles on every release including 2001’s Almost There to 2014’s Welcome to the New. There is no doubt this CD will get plenty of playtime in your car and home.

A must have for all MercyMe fans, it is a wonderful compilation of all of their best gospel hits. You will find it uplifting and inspiring.

Until next time, God bless you all, from everyone here at His Grace.

In Concert with...

Toby Mac I Just Need You Tour...

ow would one describe TobyMac in concert?

Heavy and energetic … He has tons of energy which really gets everyone moving - the place really hops.

TobyMac started in the now defunct Christian trio DC Talk.

Their hits included two of the best known songs, "In the Light" and "Jesus Freak".

TobyMac’s performances are marked by two things: a great mix of sound and a strong Christian message.

Even for those who are unfamiliar with TobyMac's music, I would say it’s filled with a blend of rock, funk, rap and blues, often within the same song.

An energetic band, including a

turntable-scratching disc jockey, a drummer, keyboard player, bass guitar and strong backup singers (one of whom flipped and break danced), which livened things up. TobyMac's show is heavy on encouragement and spirituality and there was no mistaking his Christian faith. He encourages the crowd to live out their faith through love and kindness. "When that happens, I believe the world will say, Yo home, whatever that is, let me have some of that!" he said to the crowd.

TobyMac also had words of encouragement to all the Godly single women, "Don't even let that man step to you unless he loves God with all his heart”.

Also in the concert, he opened up the Bible and read from it to the crowd.

While TobyMac's show is heavy in Christian evangelizing, his acts are heavy in the very sense of the word through his music and ministering to the crowd. Through his music, Toby loves to share the message of Jesus in a positive, fun and thought provoking way.

In June of this year, my girlfriend Donna had the pleasure of attending his concert at Canada's Wonderland Wonderjam 10th Anniversary with her son Chad and his girlfriend, Ashley. She said she couldn't stop dancing and moving around the whole time during the concert. She introduced me to TobyMac and I'm glad she did… such a blessing.

Until next time, God bless you all, from everyone here at His Grace.

We Love...

Because He first Loved us

Love is a language universal It knows no hate; is unconditional The Author of love has tenderly taught To open our hearts and love as we ought Unfailing love will always overcome; His face shines brilliantly like the sun Illuminating the shadows of our souls Filling our lives with purpose and goals He tenderly takes away all of our pain Teaches us how to live again Letting go of doubt and forever trusting In His will and His every blessing Time together in Morning Prayer Our hopes and dreams with God we share Giving thanks, always grateful Knowing our Lord is ever faithful He is the way, the truth and the life The stronghold of a husband and wife As for our house, we will serve the Lord And love each other in sweet accord Love is giving; He destined to die Our Sacrifice, we lift Him high The Rock of Ages, in Him we trust We love ‌ because He first loved us

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

Your kindom come.

Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

Amen.
