The website was founded by Jeff Myers, a convicted drug user and a former producer of online pornography who decided to dedicate his life to Christ during his court trial and eventual yearlong imprisonment. After leaving prison, he founded GodBeat "to replace the garbage he was putting into millions of homes a year, with God message, through music or any means necessary." Jeff is now a changed man and GodBeat is growing fast as a home to hundreds of Chris... more »
  • When my mama smiles when she tastes her own work I am one hundred percent sure that she's cooked something tasty. She puts all her love into her cooking that I sometimes see the food smiling.

  • No one else can ease our pain. No one else can lift us up when we're down. No one else but God. The song "By Your Side" by Tenth Avenue North talks about just that. It speaks of God's faithfulness and desire to be with us even during our darkest moments. What's so amazing about God's grace is that we do not have to deserve it to receive it. God gives it to us freely and fully no matter what. We do not have to earn God's love. God loves us not because we are worthy, but because He is loving. ... more »
  • Oprah Winfrey is an inspiration to millions of people worldwide. She talks with sense, entertains her audience creatively and lives life with passion. And of course she has also poured millions of dollars into charitable works. Which makes one say that she indeed walks her talk.
