Chris Martin's Blog, page 53

I’m perfect and you’re not. Would you like to hear about Jesus?

Something that has troubled me for a long time is how society looks at Christians. Most people hear that word and cringe. It’s almost like a disease. Now, I understand that as Christians we are going to be hated by the world. Jesus explained that quite clearly in the New Testament. I can live with […]

Check out my new page

Just wanted to give everyone a head’s up about the page on my blog. It’s called Jennifer’s Music. It’s music from my wife that we recorded here at home. Right now, I have the Christmas Favorites up there. Click HERE for the page.   Make sure to follow me on Twitter and/or Facebook by clicking […]

Lord of Our Rings

On October 23, 1999, I made a commitment to the woman by my side that I would stay with her through the good times and the bad. In this day and age, those words don’t really mean all that much. There are so many today who only want to stick around as long as things […]

Christmas Isn’t Merry for Everyone (A re-post (sort of), but with an update)

Around Christmas last year, I blogged a post entitled “The Un-merry Side of Christmas.” Here is the post in it’s entirety along with an update at the end. The Un-merry Side of Christmas. I awoke this morning with a heavy heart. For some, Christmas isn’t a time of laughter and cheer. Despite what the world […]

In Memory of Sandy Hook (Finally Got My Wings)

It’s hard to believe that Saturday, December 14, will mark the one year anniversary of the horrible shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown. As with most tragedies, I usually express my thoughts by either writing a blog post or some song lyrics. I wrote this last year soon after the event. My heart […]

Why do Bad Things Happen?

We all know that life can be very hard. For some, it’s an every day kind of thing, a normal routine. For others, it might just be several sporadic moments penciled in on the timeline of their life. I know people from both sides of that coin, and there is one distinct question that echos […]

Why Me? (Re-post)

I’ve gained quite a few more followers since I first posted this, so I wanted to share it again. Why Me? I’m scared. Darkness surrounds us at every moment. We are extremely tired, but we press on, believing this is what we have been called to do. Doubt attempts to creep into my heart with […]

Wrecked

Have you ever had a moment come along during your life when you were completely and utterly broken? A moment that wrecks you to the very core of your being, and reduces you to nothing but a pile of smoldering ashes? Something that doesn’t just gently tug at your heart strings, but rips them from […]

If Jesus was on Twitter

If Jesus was on Twitter I bet he’d have millions who would follow Although most of what He said Would be too much for the masses to swallow His hashtag would be #truth Because that’s all He knows how to speak He would talk about radical love And how we’re to stand up for the […]

The Walking Dead (Has the Church become zombified?)

I wasn’t exactly sure how to write this post. I know it will more than likely make some people mad. I hope not, but I know not everyone is going to see things as I do, and that’s fine. I’m happy with that because it means we are all individuals. I pray it is accepted […]
