Sony’s Thoughts: God Created Us For Fellowship
Last night, as I was putting away laundry, a song popped into my head which happens often. What was surprising, though, was that the song was by TobyMac who used to be with DC Talk. I am not into rap, and I don’t think I’ve heard the song in a while but the line that [...]
Sony’s Thoughts: Things Could Be Worse
Last night, I read the account in Homecoming magazine about the typhoon in the Philippines which created a mudslide and collapsed a house. The survivors were rushed to local hospitals except for an 18-year-old young man who was left to remove the rubble and find that his mother, his baby brother, his two sisters, and [...]
Sony’s Thoughts: He Locked the Gates
“He locked the gates of Hell behind me and then He threw the key away.” Have you heard that song from the Kingdom Heirs? I get excited each time I hear it as I think about the reality of those words. Do you ever stop to think about what God saved you from? If you do, [...]
Sony’s Thoughts: Look Up
I heard part of a country song the other day which was talking about people who complain about things. It said, in essence, that troubles are a part of life so buck up and quit complaining. Even though the song didn’t give the listener any hope or real encouragement, it occurs to me that the [...]
Sony’s Thoughts: Reflecting
“If you could see where He brought me from to where I am today, then you would know the reason why I love Him so.” This past week, I’ve been thinking again about what my life used to be: a life of hopelessness, trudging through each day dutifully without joy or peace. I cried a lot and longed [...]
Sony’s Thoughts: What is Love?
“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10). “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, [...]
Sony’s Thoughts: True Success
The other day, I was thinking about success and what it really is. Dictionary.com defines it as 1. the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors. 2. the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like. 3. a successful performance or achievement. But is that the true definition of success? At the end of [...]
Sony’s Thoughts: Don’t Stay as You Are
“The way He’s changing my heart proves that He loves me too much to leave me just as I am.” ~Jim Brady It seems like most sermons I’ve heard have focused on “come as you are” instead of “don’t stay as you are.” Yet, over and over Scripture makes it clear, “If any man be [...]
Sony’s Thoughts: Fervent Intercession
“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” (James 5:16b) I’ve been wondering lately if the reason we don’t see God change more situations and circumstances is due to our lack of fervent prayer. Sure, we’ll pray for our own needs and desires but are we just as quick to fervently intercede for [...]
Sony’s Thoughts: Remembering
The end of the year is always a time of reflection for me so I don’t think it’s a coincidence that God has me reading through Deuteronomy right now. The book is full of Moses reminding the people of the importance of remembering–the good and the bad, the blessings and the punishment, the progress and [...]

New Blogger: Steve Eaton (5)
New SoGo Fan: No. Instead we need another blogger who’s just as nice as all of those but brings his own unique flair to the table.
Daniel J. Mount: …which is, of course, a great move, since we don’t need another DBM, another me, another Dinana, etc.
Steve Eaton: Thanks Daniel, I am hoping to offer something a bit different than everyone else.
Daniel J. Mount: He tends to prefer mixed groups, though there are a few all-male groups he’d also count as favorites.
New SoGo Fan: What groups does he like? He mentioned future concert reviews.
