inspirational christian gifts

Singing is my passion, and I feel it is the gift God has given me to do His will and to get inspirational messages to others. I have the determination, and drive to do this, but how does one do this as a career? Some helpful ideas or tips would be sweet! Thanks a bunch! :)

I usually agree with mamianka %1000 about all things but not this time! I think that you have to distinguish between music for church and the Christan music industry! I don't think that God would exclude anyone from church band just because they didn't have a music degree! and nor should we! You don't have to be a good musician to worship! I hate to see people excluded just because they are not as good as other musicians! I once heard a story about a terrible guitar player who PASSIONATELY wanted to play with the band! They let him up front but the the amp turned off!! I would think is the way that God would want us to do it! The Christain doctrine is one of acceptance, torerance and love surely that is the way of God

Sorry I know that is a little off topic but I hate to see people excluded in a place that meant to include everyone just because they aren't as good musically.

If its a career then there are differences! Firstly make no mistake as mamianka said above it is still cuthroat! But dont be mislead about how easy it will be just beacuse we are all christians! Christains can be just as bitchy as secular musicians! Its not alll nice and touchy feely! I would ask if that what you AND God wants for your life! Think about pray about that one for a long time!

Secondly as with secular musicians I would get as many lessons as you can! Study with all kinds of different teachers! Immerse yourslelf in music! And be prepared to learn for a long time! Decades even! Join your church band! Anything that will give you the experince that you need! Be prepared for the long haul! Will you maintain your passion for God and music and the convinction that God wants you to do that after knockback after knockback?!? That is the test!

PERFORMED FOR A CHINESE CHRISTIAN WEDDING WHO CAME FROM LONDON. AN INTERESTING MUSIC PIECE RARELY USED FOR A WEDDING BUT A STAND OUT INSPIRATIONAL ...

He just found out he will be undergoing chemo; not sure of prognosis; he is a well-respected security officer at our place of business and has a strong Christian faith and family values.

How about a scripture keeper? There's a beautiful one you can get on Amazon.com.

My cousin's baby is getting baptized. I believe in getting religious gifts for baptisms as opposed to money, clothes, etc.

Last year, baby's 1st cousin was baptized I gave her a Noah's Ark playset. I got a lot of compliments about it including from the new mom of this baby's whose baptism I'm going to next month.

Do you think it's okay that I get the same gift for this little baby that I did for her first cousin?

Or, do you have any other ideas for good Christian toys/gifts, that spread the message, but aren't super religious? They are not a really religious couple. The mom is not baptized and I think she's exploring herself. I don't want to get them anything that would make them uncomfortable (e.g. something they wouldn't know what to do with) but I want it to be inspirational.

Also, I'd like to give them something that they/the baby could use now, rather than a keepsake. I don't think the baby's ever wind up seeing the keepsake.

Any ideas? Thanks!!

i think its fine to get the same gift
atleast it does them some gd
If you christian
Jst Pray about it
God knows all the answers =)

Teacher Inspirational Gift
Mad in USA
Easel back for Standing

God has given me the gift of writing Inspirational poetry and my desire is to one day have it published, financially i'm not able at the moment. But anyway, a friend of mine writes novels and he hopes to someday get his published also. He wrote me said that he had been having this dream eight nights in a row of me and this minister, he didn't know who the minister was and couldn't see his face, but he could see mine. In the dream he says he was writing novels through a name but it wasn't his name, then he said it jumps to me and the minister. He said that i was smiling and clapping my hands and the minister was speaking these words to me; "Follow your dreams, God will provide for the rest, you'll see." I was wanting to know if you could tell me what it meant? or give me some insight on it. Thank You! Brenda

Brenda, it sounds like you are on the right track so keep going and God will put people in your path to help you.
God has blessed me with many poems but they started out as songs. I did have one that Poetry.com published in their book and I won awards on it but I never had the money to pay for receiving them. I wrote and told them if you won something then it should be free.
I had my poems printed on cards and they have blessed many people. E-mail me and I will tell you how you can read them on line. I would like to read yours also.
