<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">feeding, not expected to survive. She was adopted by her parents, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">who made their choice in the face of medical warnings that Melissa </span><br />

<tr><td><div align="justify"><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, Georgia; font-size: small;">The New Testament, or B'riyt HaHhadashah in Hebrew, was written by Hebrews, for Hebrews and within an Hebraic Culture. While the only New Testament manuscripts known to exist are written in Greek, with the possible exception of the book of Matthew, the evidence suggests that much of it was originally written in Hebrew and afterwards translated into Greek.<br />
<br />
While there are many textual evidences to support this theory, Matthew 5:3 is a good example of this.<br />

The Greek word for "poor" is <i>ptochos</i> and means one who is destitute, afflicted, and lacking. What this verse is literally saying is "Blessed are the ones destitute/afflicted/lacking in the spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." This does not make any sense. However, if we translate the Greek word <i>ptochos</i> into Hebrew we have the word <i>aniy</i> which also means destitute, afflicted and lacking. More literally the Hebrew word <i>aniy</i> means "bent down low" such as a poor person who is destitute. But, this Hebrew word can also mean one who is humble, in the same sense of bending down low.<br />
<br />
Now, if we translate the Hebrew back into English we have, "Blessed are the humble in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." By understanding this passage from its Hebrew background, we are able to better interpret the New Testament Bible.<br />

After speaking with him I was reminded of my first exposure to his music, in 1977 I was hanging out in Hollywood with a girlfriend and another couple, we were doing the usual partying on a Friday night getting high doing our thing when we decided to go to the Record Store and check out the music. As I'm walking down the aisles I see an album cover with this cool looking dude holding up his finger with what look like the number one sign, it caught my attention because it was different from most of the covers back then, what struck me was the title of the album "For Him Who Has Ears To Hear" I remember thinking to myself as I read the cover "I got ears to hear, what you got to say?'
When I picked up the album and seen the back cover I was sold! Because I liked the ideal that he had a women with him and they were doing the sign of the cross each holding their finger over the other to shape a cross. Back then I thought that was cool that a man and woman were together and doing the God thing. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZsiNe_KbWcM/Svuj1sEGO4I/AAAAAAAAFZE/naWgTj9Jdm8/s1600-h/keith+2.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 269px; height: 232px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZsiNe_KbWcM/Svuj1sEGO4I/AAAAAAAAFZE/naWgTj9Jdm8/s320/keith+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403092320717781890" /></a>
As i'm walking to the check out my friend Eddie asked me "What the !@#$%!!!!! you buying that for?" At the time I didn't care what he thought about it, I bought the album. I remember going home that night wasted by the time we got home and playing the album the rest of the night.
There were many times I would play that album and God used it to speak to me; even times when I would be loaded and out of my mind the music would bring me to a place and sense of God's presence.
That album was so powerful that I still remember times my brothers Ernie and Raul would ask me to play that music that sings about God, they would just trip on it... God used the album to sow seed and I am sure to water what he had placed in my heart.
Keith Green was a pioneer that God used in music to touch a lot of us that were living a crazy life.
His music was out of the box and reached beyond the four walls of the church at least for me.
I didn't realize back then that God was calling me, I had heard the gospel because of a girlfriend who took me to a little coffee house where they would preach and talk about how heavy God was, they would play Jesus rock and jam.
That little storefront was a unique place back in the mid 70' as we would sit on the floor, some on bean bags as we would gather and hear the Jesus stories. That place was unique to me because I didn't like church and all the religious stuff; because it didn't make sense and there you could let your hair down, kick back and just let God speak as we would hear things I had never heard before...
God used Keith Green to speak to me through his music.... Thank God for the 60' and 70's and the music that spoke about Jesus... My prayer today is that God would give us music that still speaks about and leads us to Jesus and may God give us "Ears to Hear"

It's been 30 years March 1978 that Jesus touched my heart! It started in the summer of 1975 I had heard about Jesus being able to change my life in a little place called the Solid Rock; where a little lady named Ma Bean would have Jesus gatherings. There in that place we would sit on the floor and listen to music and hear the stories about Jesus. After running from God for a few years as a youngster I had an encounter with the Jesus of the bible.
I still remember that day like it was yesterday feeling broken from life with a broken heart sitting in a bar near the GM Van Nuys Plant; thinking about my life. <div>As I'm sitting at the bar drinking I'm thinking about my life, it seems like my whole life flashed before my eyes with a clear picture of all that I had been through, like a high definition TV with the images of my life flashing before me every image bringing the pains and sorrows associated with it. </div><div>
</div><div>I'm remembering the most painful times of my life; my dad passing away when I was 16years old, the times I would go in and out of jail, the emptiness and loneliness as the cell doors would slam, the cold jail cells and longing to see a familiar face, all these feelings and emtions just seemed to flow my soul and gave me a broken heart that longed to be free.</div><div>
It was there in that bar I decided that if there was a God I would find him that day! I decided if God is real I will meet him!
Rushing home in the living room of my apartment I would cry out with all my being, there I weep and sob uncontrollably with convulsive sheaving pouring out all that was in my heart.</div><div>With my face to the floor sobbing before God asking him and pleading that he would mend and fix my broken heart, not asking for money, cars or girlfriends just a pure hunger to know him in pure life.</div><div>
</div><div>I poured my heart out in desperation for God to show me his love, all I wanted from him was to mend my broken heart and be real. It was there that Jesus stepped into my life and lifted me out of the pit of despair. It was there that the reality of God was discovered. It was as though he stepped into the living room with me and placed his loving hand on me, I felt like all the weight of my torn shattered life was lifted, i felt like he healed my life and I knew that life would never be the same from that moment on.</div><div>
I'm just so thankful that I can still sense him in my life. I'm glad he still loves me, glad he has never left me even when he should have!
If you need him today, all you have to do is cry out to him in sincerity.</div><div>
He always shows himself to the humble (Isaiah 57:15...the Holy One, says this: "I live in the high and holy place with those whose spirits are contrite and humble. I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts") after 30 years I know it's true "None but Jesus" can give life, and bring meaning to life even in a bar.</div>
