Harassment from another ministry? Day 1

Okay Folks This will be fun to write... My ministry on Discord(Ducks4ChristHQ) was recently harassed by another so called "ministry" I use Ministry lightly as this other "ministry" has broken man's laws and God's laws. This ministry has verbally harassed me and my own moderators. Making up lies about us, to the point we are considering legal action. Stay Updated for it all.

Raised In A Prosperity Gospel Church: Behind Closed Doors

This will be a fun story to tell. For the longest time when I was a kid me and my grandmother went to a Assemblies of God church which is known for the Prosperity Gospel. My grandmother put so much money into the church and she didn't know what this pastor was actually doing with the money. This pastor was spending the money on gambling. He claimed to his church members that the church would close. Turns out it eventually did due to loss of funds. My grandmother went into bankrupt because of this church. That is not all. This "pastor" claimed to be blind and losing all his health. My family members spotted this guy driving. I feel ashamed to call this a church. I believed in this church. I was fooled by this Pastor. But God gave me guidance into it. God saved me and my family from it and brought us to a church that is Gospel Preaching.

Christian Concert Brings Hundreds Out To Peoria, IL

Image
Winter Jam,  a Christian music festival with 10 bands headlining the main show, the show is where all of the. I absolutely loved Winter Jam and I highly recommend that you invest your money into going to it. The concert is extremely cheap and at $10 anyone could enter. Other concerts can cause $100 to $1,000. This year music included David Crowder who plays contemporary christian music, Britt Nicole who plays pop music, Tenth Avenue North who does more contemporary pop music, Sadie Robertson who spoke at the concert, Thousand Foot Krutch(TFK) who plays rock music, Andy Mineo who plays hip-hop music, Colton Dixon who plays pop music, Newsong who is the founders of Winter Jam who played Contemporary Christian Pop Music, and Tony Nolan who spoke at the concert. Artists from the Pre-Jam Party included; OBB who does pop music, Sarah Reeves who does contemporary christian pop, and Steven Malcolm who does rap. Every Sunday, because the artists are away from their home church, the artists ...

Staff Update

Ladies and Gentlemen, Our staff come to you today to address different things.   Our first thing has to do something our staff was notified about. A couple weeks ago we got notified about a situation that had to do with a staff member.  We will not be revealing any details but just pray that this person gains faith again and doesn't lose faith.  This person's anonymity will be taken seriously.   Our second update we have has to do with some things that were said by The Robloxian Christians. The "pastor" of the church started taking a Liberal stance on scriptures. Our staff strongly believe that he is unfit for a Pastoral role.  We strongly believe that he should step down.  If you have any prayer requests please contact our staff at the staff contact page. Thank You Prod1gal Church Pastoral Staff

Small Groups Week 1

"Fear No More"-King Of My Heart Verse: Deuteronomy 31:8 “He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Questions: What does this verse say to you? Is God REALLY the King of your heart or is he just a friend you don't speak to? What are you afraid of? Devotional: Spiders, Snakes, Satan. What do all of these have in common? Besides the letter S, they are all fears. The bible tells us that we shouldn't be afraid since God will never leave you. There is so much different things on our heart at different times.  The question that should remain is that Is God REALLY the king of your heart? But what does that really mean? Are you focusing on God or are you focusing on something else? -DH

Devotional Day 7

Oh the overwhelming never ending RECKLESS LOVE OF GOD! The definition of Reckless as according to Webster's Dictionary is "marked by lack of proper caution  :  careless of consequences" So if that's the definition of Reckless so what is the song talking about?? First of all, I hear all the time people complaining about this song since the word Reckless. People say it is calling God reckless,  where do you see it calling God reckless? Here's the answer,  no where! If it was calling God Reckless then the song would be called "Reckless God" not "Reckless Love" But Pastor where in the bible does it show God's love as Reckless? Well,  if we look all over you will see the sign of recklessness. Let's go back to the definition of Reckless "marked by lack of proper caution  :  careless of consequences" CARELESS OF CONSEQUENCES! You will see in Luke 15:1-7 that God didn't care of the consequences! He knew that the devil w...

Devotional Day 6

To love God,  you also have to love people. Wow,  that is such a strong statement.  And believe it or not,  it's true! BUT here's the catch,  this is contradictory since in the bible it states to "Love the lord your God with all your heart,  with all your soul and with all your mind" But guess what,  right after that it reads "The second great command is just like this,  love your neighbor as yourself" Pastor, so I have to love the people across the street from me?? Yes and No, the word "neighbor" in this context means to love everyone. So what is it REALLY saying? It's saying to love everyone.  Yes,  there may be people you absolutely despise in your area,  but God says to love everyone.  Your challenge today is to love everyone no matter what.  Show them the love of God(Believe it or not,  the number one reason of why Atheists come to Christ is because of the love that they see). PRAYER: God you are good,...

Devotional Day 5

Yesterday we covered the most common #1 reason why Atheists become Atheists. That was Evidence. In today's study we will be covering the #2 reason which is faith. Faith is best defined as believing in something you can't see. In my work I hear all the time from Atheists that the reason that they don't believe is because they have no faith. So a good relatable thing to faith is the story of Lee Strobel. Strobel was a hardcore Atheist who claimed to "have no faith". But throughout the research that he was going through he figured out what faith actually is. Sometimes we may be low on faith. But when I hear atheists say they don't believe since they don't have faith.  I ask them,  do you believe in oxygen? Since we can't see oxygen but we believe it.  They always say yes,  that they believe in oxygen. PRAYER: Lord God,  I pray that you give me faith through the hard times.  Amen. SCRIPTURE: Matthew 8:26 NIV QUESTIONS: 1) Describe a time when ...

Devotional Day 4

In today's devotional we are going to be discussing the most common reasons why Atheists become Atheists. We will be taking different days to do this. Do know my job is to work with Unbelievers and do know I'm a former Atheist. Reason one: Evidence The most common reason why Atheists become Atheists is the lack of evidence which is also what had me into atheism.  But I found the evidence. Atheists believe that there is no God. A=Without Theist=God. If we look historically there is over 300 pieces of evidence for Jesus that is not taken out of the bible.  A reputable former Atheist is Lee Strobel. Strobel was a journalist for The Chicago Tribune and during his work he has covered thousands of stories. Lee was doing some research into Jesus and found the evidence but first didn't believe. But then he researched more into it. Lee's wife became a Christian and for awhile they were in a abusive relationship but God brought Lee to Christ. The key whenever we have friend...

Devotional Day 3

Believing God is good when life is not. Wow,  think about that real fast. Your going through troubles but your also believing God is good,  let's be truthful,  it's complicated to believe that. As we discussed yesterday that trials will happen but Jesus has overcome the trials(John 16:33) But how can we believe God is good when our life is in pieces? When we are depressed. When it seems like God has left us. Pastor Craig Groeschel of Life.Church understands.  He wrote a book on this topic called "Hope In The Dark: Believing God is good when life is not". Groeschel's own daughter Mandy has so much health problems that they have had to visit Mayo Clinic so many times that doctors can't find a cure. One of Groeschel's friends Adrianne she thought that life was on a mountain but then the devil invaded, her husband cheated on her with one of her close friends,  then her daughter got diagnosed with cancer and later died. How could Adrianne have Hope after...

Devotional Day 2

Even in the unknown,  you are good. Those are song lyrics from Life.Church Worship's song "You Are". In the darkness,  let's be honest it will be hard to worship God. He knows it as much as we do since he sent his son onto this earth. John 16:33 NIV "...In this world you will have trouble,  but take heart I have overcome the world" See,  Jesus specifically tells us that there will be troubles.  This world is a messy place,  but Jesus told us that already. Stop worrying about today and start focusing on tomorrow.  Jesus has overcome the troubles. So yes,  though it may be hard to worship God in the dark. But he is good? Yes,  God is so good that he sent his one and only son to die for our lives.  And not to condemn us because our sins but to save us from our sins. John 3:16-17 NIV "For God so loved the world he gave his one and only begotten son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.  17For ...

Some Announcements

Good Morning/Afternoon. I first would like to welcome you to the blog.  This is a blog where we will talk about different controversial topics in the bible.  From worship songs to scripture. I just have a few announcements involving some stuff. First,  we have expanded the ministry of Prodigal Music even bigger to reach out to gamers on Twitch. You may be asking why? I did this since the gamers may never be able to hear the words of Jesus unless we bring it to them. I'm also excited to announce with the Twitch, we are sponsoring Life.Church Gaming and GodSquad Church. These are two ministries that were made to bring gamers to Jesus. Do know with this,  we are NOT affiliated with them but we are just sponsoring them. They are not paying us anything or we're not paying them. Though I personally am a member of Life.Church and GodSquad that does not mean anything. During this transition period it's going to be rough but us Admin have prayed over it. Second annou...

Devotional day 1

God's love wipes away all fear. Think of that real fast and think if that relates to your life. The bible reads in Roman's 8:31 NIV "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us,  who can be against us?" Yes,  with God nothing can stop us. Philippians 4:13 NIV "I can do ALL things through Christ which strengthens me" With God we can do everything and nothing can stop us. So it's the truth,  God's love does wipe away our fears. PRAYER: Father God, I pray that you wipe away all my fears. Amen. -DH

Full time Musicianship: The Life

I fully didn't introduce myself. My name is Darian Halliday and I am a Full Time Musician, a Full Time Pastor, A Part Time Twitch Streamer, and a Full Time Follower of Jesus. The definition of musicianship is best defined as someone who practices music as a living. Practicing music is hard, but following Jesus is harder. You may think that is controversial but think of it. Following Jesus has a lot of things to remember but playing music is also hard. Yes,  this may be controversial but be truthful life gets hard.  Life will fall in on you. If you ever feel suicidal or overwhelmed don't be afraid to speak to someone. Someone needs you to survive. Life is hard but don't focus on that.  Focus on the positives of life! There's so much to be positive about! -DH

Song Opinion: "The 99" by 7eventh Time Down

To st art this blog off, let's pr ay. Father God, I come to you with the reader of this blog. Lord, let the reader be touched by this song that is showing us that you will never stop searching for us, until we are found. Lord, we thank you for that. I ask this all in Jesus Name, amen! "The 99" by 7eventh Time Down is  a new song that is all about how Jesus will never leave us. This whole song reminds me of Luke 15:1-7 NIV. It is the parable of the lost sheep. We are going to break each verse by verse down to relate to the bible. The chorus resonates the most with the song, it reads, " You would search the whole world over to find me (to find me)  There's no place You wouldn't go  You're searching high and low  You leave the ninety-nine to lead me home  I can't outrun Your love  There's no road that's long enough  You leave the ninety-nine to lead me home  There's no place You wouldn't go  Theres no pl...

Worship Post: "Keep Our Eyes Open" by The Nashville Nine

"Keep Our Eyes Open" by The N a shville Nine is  a song th at t alks  about keeping our eyes open no m atter wh at. First  a bit of History, this song w as wrote for Young Life by  a group of musici ans th at rem ain  anonymous. The first verse of the song goes, " Anything could happen Anything is possible We could leave it all behind We could be unstoppable This could be the first day of the future The last day of the past This could be the start of something greater Don't let this moment pass" I  absolutely love th at verse! We  are reminded of Rom ans 8:31 which st ates "Wh a t then sh all we s ay to these things? If God is for Us, Who c an Be  ag ainst us?" The chorus is one of the most powerful choruses, I h ave ever seen! The chorus goes, " We gotta keep our eyes, keep our eyes, open Oh we gotta keep our eyes, keep our eyes, open Hands held high, running to the light We gotta keep our eyes, keep our eyes, open" Throughou...
