I Am Second - Powerful Video Testimonies

This is a powerful website that presents short video testimonies of actors, athletes, musicians, business leaders, and everyday people.
Some recognizable names are: Darrell Waltrip, Stephen Baldwin, Jason Castro, Tony Evans, Josh Hamilton, Brian Welch, Joe Gibbs, & Jason Witten.
It categorizes the testimonies by names as well as struggles and temptations. It also contains short video answers to some common questions people may have and answers the question, "Why is Jesus first?"
Consider sharing this website with someone today...it may make an eternal difference! Beyond sharing this website, are you prepared to share your own testimony about how Christ has worked in and through your life?
Acts 1:8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
1 Peter 3:15-16 "15But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander."
Here is Brian Welch's (from Korn) testimony about coming to Christ.

Prayer Verses

I have blessed with some incredible times of prayer with my Lord Jesus Christ this past week.
Here are some verses I feel led to share on prayer:
Matthew 18:19-20 "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 20For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."
Luke 18:1 "Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up."
Matthew 21:21-22 "21Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. 22If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."
James 4:1-3 "1What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? 2You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. "
