A young man has devised a unique and modern way of memorizing all the books of the Bible in order, and you’ll be left thoroughly impressed.

The Bible is essentially a guidebook and a blueprint for life. It’s mandatory reading for anyone who professes to be a Christian and a follower of God. That book offers guidance and direction concerning any and every situation we may encounter in life.

Reading God’s Word should be an activity that Christians engage in daily. By delving into His Word, Christians will learn more about God as He reveals more and more truths to them. With repeated readings, you may even start to memorize particular parts and sections of the Bible.

However, the Bible is a thick book filled with many chapters, verses and books. Memorizing God’s Word is easier said than done, especially when remembering the order of its 66 books.

Despite the difficulty of remembering all the books of the Bible, one man has devised a fascinating memorization technique. In a clip posted on social media, he recites a rap that incorporates all the books of the Bible.

As he names the books of the Bible in order, he also mentions specific situations and circumstances that occur in each book, from Genesis to Revelation. It’s a mind-blowing rap that will leave your jaw on the floor.

The amount of time and effort his memorization rap would have required to learn is quite stunning. That is not something anyone would be able to pick up in a single afternoon. It would require many hours of intense focus, practice and determination.

At the clip’s end, the crowd responds, rightfully so, with a thunderous round of applause and cheers.

Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart.”

There are some moments worth recording. Check out a grandfather's heartwarming response in this video after learning his grandson's name.

At the start of this video, the baby’s mother proceeds to say to her parents, “You guys didn’t even ask what his name is.” As her father, the grandpa, holds this precious new little life, he jokes that he heard it was Snoop Dog. His daughter laughs and says the name, “Pierce Steven Parrot.” All of a sudden the father realizes that this sweet boy is named after him. He gets choked up and begins to cry tears of happiness. He cannot even respond because he is speechless, and he provides a thumbs up in response.

This video gives us all of the emotions that come with family and new life. It is adorable how this man has received the honor of having a child named after him. This is a unique gift that not everyone receives. The emotions overcome him and he is completely humbled and blessed. Witnessing this sweet experience causes us to feel as if we are almost in the room with them celebrating this name. Our hearts feel the depth of this decision to name this boy after the girl’s father. We are in awe.

Names carry special meanings and purposes. The Lord has given us new names in Him. We are adopted into His family. When we believe in Jesus, we are able to carry His name and honor Him. Imagine that this too could bring tears of joy like this grandpa to our Heavenly Father. It is our greatest blessing to carry the name of disciples of Jesus.

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians 3:17

Shaquille O'Neal, or simply "Shaq," is more than just a basketball legend; he's a beacon of generosity and kindness, embodying the spirit of being the hands and feet of Jesus to those around him. In a recent interview on the "Be Better Off Show," Shaq shared a heartwarming story that epitomizes his commitment to uplifting others through acts of benevolence.

Reflecting on his early business ventures, Shaq recalled feeling sidelined in meetings due to his lack of a degree. Determined to break through barriers and support those in similar situations, Shaq embarked on a journey to further his education. Returning to Louisiana State University to complete his undergraduate studies, he earned a Bachelor's degree in 2000, all while continuing to excel on the basketball court.

But Shaq's pursuit of knowledge didn't stop there. Opting to earn his Master's degree from the University of Phoenix, Shaq made a profound decision that would impact the lives of others. Despite the institution's predominantly online format, Shaq advocated for in-person instruction, ensuring that 15 individuals could enroll alongside him. By generously covering their tuition, Shaq provided his friends with the opportunity to pursue their educational dreams, embodying the principle of giving back and being a blessing to others. Can you imagine how life-changing his act of kindness was to those 15 classmates?

Yet, Shaq's journey of giving didn't end with education. In 2012, he achieved a monumental milestone by earning a doctoral degree in education (Ed.D.) from Barry University Florida. This remarkable achievement, fueled by Shaq's commitment to lifelong learning and his mother's influence, serves as a testament to his unwavering dedication and generosity of spirit.

Beyond his academic endeavors, Shaq's acts of kindness and entrepreneurial ventures continue to make a profound impact on communities worldwide. Whether through his charitable initiatives or his infectious spirit of kindness, Shaq exemplifies what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus, spreading love and compassion wherever he goes.

Acts 20:35 "In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Enjoy this YouTube video about a kind woodworker who constructed a beautiful home for a stray cat. The craftsman’s generosity and sincerity are truly heartwarming! 

The gentleman’s name is Barna, and he is a hobby woodworker who happened to notice a skinny cat hanging out around his home. He set out a food dish and hoped the cat would help himself. Initially, the kitty ate nothing, but after several days of putting out food, he began to eat. 

Soon, Barna had named the stray Domino, and the weather was becoming cold. With the winds and rain picking up, Barna decided he ought to build a shelter for Domino. And that is exactly what he did! 

Trimmed in white, the red cat condo is equipped with a heating pad, a light, and a camera. The house has a little porch-like landing pad and two small entryways. It is luxurious! Domino watched Barna as he built the house, and he was ready on that first night to get some serious sleep—probably much more than a cat nap! 

Domino enjoyed the house most nights during the winter, and he made a friend. A black female cat was enjoying Domino’s company a great deal; they played together, and it appeared to be “love” to Barna. So, Barna built a bigger home for the couple!

A two-story, light blue version of the first, there was now room for several from the local cat community to crash overnight. Again, that’s exactly what happened. While Domino’s best buddy prefers a spot she’s found in one of the backyard trees, there are four or five cats that enjoy the two houses Barna carefully crafted. 

Barna was never trying to tame the cats. Instead, he just wanted them to feel safe. He said, “It’s just really gratifying to be able to make a positive impact on their lives.” 

Wow! Without an agenda or expectations, Barna used his skills and his time to address a need. The world would be a better place if we all met people where they are, observed the needs that exist, and used our gifts and resources to make lives better!

Thank you, Barna, for such an outstanding example! 

“She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.” Proverbs 31:20 

Actor Chris Hemsworth used a ceremony to recognize him for his work in the entertainment industry to honor and thank his wife for her unconditional love and continued support in a heartwarming speech.

Most people would agree that marriage is one of the best things about life. Everyone wants and needs love and support and to know they can rely on and depend upon someone in times of crisis. Marriage provides all of that and then some.

Marriage is a sacred, close and special relationship between a husband and a wife. It provides individuals with love and stability and creates the perfect environment for raising children. But it all starts with love, trust and support between the husband and wife. With those, a marriage will last for a while.

Actor Chris Hemsworth understands how important his significant other, Elsa Pataky, and her love, trust and support are to him, his career and their family. During a ceremony in which Chris received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, he publicly praised his wife for all she does for him.

“I would say, ‘Thank you’ to my beautiful wife, who has been here for my entire career,” Chris said. “Basically, by my side, endlessly encouraging and supportive. And it doesn’t get lost upon me that she put aside her own dreams in order to support mine.”

Later in his speech, the “Thor” actor mentions that whatever he does in life or his career means nothing if his wife is not by his side to enjoy it with him.

The short, 40-second clip ends with Chris stating that he loves his dear wife.

Who wouldn’t want to hear such beautiful words and thoughts from their significant other? All marriages would be stronger if we took a little more time to express how much we love and appreciate our spouse. They are a special individual who deserves to hear it often and be treated as such regularly.

Proverbs 18:22 “Whoever finds a wife gets a good thing, and has the approval of the Lord.”

One man, a Good Samaritan, lent a hand and helped an elderly gentleman and helped him with his yard work.

We can all be kinder, more patient and nicer to one another. Even the kindest, most caring individual can do more for others. There is plenty of need in this fallen world; look around you to confirm this statement.

While we may fall far short of the mark, we can always try to be kinder, more patient and give others more grace. A little bit of kindness can and will go a long way. We may never see the end results that our unexpected act of kindness had on someone else, but we can rest assured that it did make a difference.

Unexpected acts of kindness can take all shapes, sizes and forms. A video posted on social media lending a hand and taking time to help a senior citizen with yard work. The minute-and-a-half video starts with the elderly man working in his yard. It appears he’s trying to cut down some stubborn blades of grass.

Seconds into the clip, a much younger man carrying a weed eater walks into the frame, crosses the road and helps the senior citizen with those pesky weeds.

The elderly man’s actions show that he was taken aback by the Good Samaritan. He looks up, immediately stops what he’s doing and takes a few steps back, giving the younger man room to work in the yard.

The video's description, which the Good Samaritan’s wife posted, states that her husband pulled the car over, hopped out and got to work.

That act of kindness may not have been massive or something that would set a world-changing revolution in motion, but it likely meant the world to that elderly gentleman. A little kindness here and there can have a massive impact on someone’s day, week and even life.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

Heart of the City Band Native American Lakota vocalist, Karen Austin Brave Crow, tells her story - which inspired the song that she sings lead on, 'It's Time to Come Back' by the Heart of the City Band.

The first in a series of short stories from 29 years as pastor, as well as nearly four decades of ministry in education, working with the homeless, in correctional facilities, and life in general.

There's a quiet magic in the simple act of a father bringing his younger daughter flowers. It's not just about the blooms themselves; it's about the love, tenderness, and unspoken bond shared between a father and his little girl. Don’t miss this sweet moment when a daughter is emotionally overcome after Dad’s heartfelt present. 

It must’ve been a long day for the young lady in this video. Growing up has its growing pains as girls navigate the world of school, friends, assignments, anxiety about clothes, boys, keeping their room clean, and so much more. We will never know what this sweet little girl was thinking as she was sitting alone at the counter in the kitchen. But the miracle-melting moment that unfolded on camera will capture your heart. Dad walks in, still wearing his work clothes, and sees his daughter in the kitchen. In his hands are a stuffed teddy bear and a bouquet of brightly colored flowers. As he presents them to his daughter, she holds her breath and the bear before bursting into tears of gratitude. 

In one sweeping moment, she looks up into her daddy's eyes and stands to hug him. In the tender moments when a father presents his daughter with a bouquet, it's as if he's offering her a piece of his heart. Each petal whispers his affection, hopes, and dreams for her. For in his eyes, she is a precious gem, a treasure to be cherished and protected–just like our heavenly father views each and every one of us. 

The bond between a father and his daughter is unlike any other. It's a bond woven with laughter, shared secrets, and endless cuddles. From the first time she wraps her tiny fingers around his to the moments when she seeks his guidance and reassurance, their connection only grows stronger with time.

For daughters, their fathers are more than just protectors; they are beacons of strength and pillars of support. Dads are the first men they will ever love, and their influence shapes the way they view themselves and the world around them. In the warmth of their father's embrace, daughters find solace, comfort, and unwavering love.

With their wide-eyed innocence and boundless love, daughters hold a special place in their father's heart from the moment they enter the world. Thank God for the gift of family, the protective love of fathers, and a simple gift of flowers. 

Psalm 103:13 "As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him."

Check out this heartwarming story about retired Eagles star Jason Kelce, granting the final wish for a dying fan and her family.

Mary Lou Carey was a huge Eagles fan and had a soft spot for former center Jason Kelce.

“She called him her young boyfriend,” said Jill Carey, the daughter of Mary Lou.

Mary Lou's dying wish was to be buried in her Jason Kelce jersey. When her family heard this, they knew they wanted to make it even more special for her. That’s when they took to Facebook to see if anyone could connect them to Jason Kelce to see if he could sign the jersey.

Not only did Jason Kelce end up signing the jersey that Mary Lou was eventually buried in, but many other Eagles players signed it as well. And the family was able to get the jersey back in time for Mary Lou’s funeral, complete with signatures from the players of her favorite team. What a sweet act of kindness!

“He’s all about the fans and the community,” shared Jill about Jason Kelce. “He goes the extra mile. And that’s why everyone loves him.”

Many people shared online their appreciation of Jason Kelce when they heard about this news story.

“Jason Kelce has a heart of gold!” one person wrote on YouTube.

“What a genuinely great man!” another person commented online. “Thank you, Jason Kelce. Your kindness and empathy will always be with her family. You’re a legend in all of the best ways. #62!”

Jill Carey also shared some sweet sentiments about her mom online and why she was such a big fan of Jason Kelce. “My mom was a truly wonderful woman. She would always do for others, expecting nothing in return, giving everything she had to whatever task she was doing, and working hard her entire life,” Jill Carey said. “I think that’s part of the reason she loved Jason so much. He is a true class act! He put a huge smile on her face in her last days, and seeing this done for her gave us some light during our sad time.”

What a great story that reminds us all of the importance of kindness and being there for your community.

In a heartwarming tale of bravery, a young man’s quick actions save his classmate’s life. You won’t believe what 8-year-old Trey Lewis knew what to do. He emerged as a hero alongside his teacher for assisting him. God works in mysterious ways, often using ordinary people, including children, as vessels for His extraordinary miracles. Throughout history, we see countless examples of everyday individuals, young and old, guided by faith and empowered by God's divine grace, accomplishing the seemingly impossible. From a child’s simple act of kindness that ripples into profound moments of healing and transformation to instances of extraordinary bravery and selflessness in the face of adversity, God's handiwork is evident in the lives of His faithful servants.

The miracle moment of today’s story unfolded during lunchtime at the second-grade corridor, where Trey, with remarkable alertness, noticed a fellow student choking on a granola bar containing cashews. 

Rushing to Assistant Principal David Ravida, Trey's urgent plea for help set a chain of life-saving actions into motion. Ravida swiftly intervened, clearing the obstruction from the choking student's throat, yet sensed something more was amiss.

 With lightning speed, staff recognized telltale signs of a severe allergic reaction and administered life-saving treatment with an EpiPen. David, acknowledging Trey's heroic act, emphasized that heroes come in all forms, whether students, nurses, teachers, or principals. 

The collective efforts of these unsung heroes ensured that the stricken student received timely care, with Trey's selfless actions at the forefront of the rescue. With a modest grin, Trey reflected on the life he helped save, a testament to the profound impact of his bravery and the importance of being vigilant about allergies.

When he was asked about the harrowing moment, Trey said, “If feels that I saved his life.”

This heartwarming story serves as a poignant reminder of the invaluable contributions of healthcare professionals and the everyday heroes who embody the spirit of compassion and heroism in our communities. As we navigate life's journey, may we remain open to God's call to be instruments of His miracles, trusting in His plan and embracing the opportunity to be His hands and feet in a world in need of His love and redemption. Through the eyes and actions of children, we are reminded of the purity and boundless potential of faith, making each miraculous moment even more heartwarming and inspiring.

Matthew 18:3-4 "And he said: 'Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.'"

“The Office” star John Krasinski was moved to tears by the kind and loving words from fellow “The Office” star Steve Carell.

The words people say to one another are powerful and can and do significantly affect their lives. Everyone can easily recall those moments and words whether those words were uplifting, encouraging or negative, hurtful or stung. The words we say to one another matter, and that’s a statement with which there should be no disagreement. 

In a clip posted on social media, John recalls a moment during an interview when Steve’s words impacted him and brought him to tears. They were kind, loving and completely unexpected. 

John tells Gayle King that he wrote a character in a script specifically for Steve to play. After agreeing to play the part in the movie, John and Steve had a small “The Office” reunion. Hugs and pleasantries were exchanged. But at one point, unprompted, Steve mentioned how proud he was of John and his work since “The Office” ended.

“So, he walked in, and I had this big smile,” John said. “I thought we were going to laugh, and he came up, he gave me the biggest hug. And he looked at me like a brother and said, “I just wanted to say how proud I am of you.”

Steve added that he has loved everything that John has written and directed.

John said this loving and unexpected compliment brought tears to his eyes. He said those kind words “meant the world because that’s family.”

Words—good or bad—are powerful. They can either build up or tear someone down. An unexpected compliment or a cruel, cutting word could affect the day, week or even someone else's entire life. Choose your words carefully. Once they leave your mouth, you’ll never be able to take them back. 

Ephesians 4:29 “Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.”

This is a unique song where I literally had the lyrics pressing in on my mind without knowing what they were about. This happened during a time when I was seeking God for an outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit that are spoken of in 1 Corinthians 12. So I wrote them down with the music in a matter of minutes and wondered what this song was about. A week and a half later, a couple who were friends of ours, gave birth to a premature baby who ended up dying that day. I read these words to the father over the phone and he wept, believing they were given just for them. This song has gone on to impact others in other situations profoundly as well. Originally recorded in 1991, we re-released this song in it's original version on our 'Best So Far CD' in 2013. We hope this song blesses you as well.

Mr O aka kamal Imani shares his life success lessons

In a heartwarming display of kindness, two police officers turned a routine 911 call into a heartwarming celebration with a cupcake and candles for a special needs man named Chris on his 25th birthday. Instead of merely responding to the call at midnight, Officers Israel and Frank went above and beyond to ensure that Chris felt special on his special day.

When Chris dialed 911, he had a simple request: He wanted someone to wish him a happy birthday. Little did he know that his call would prompt a heartwarming response that would touch the hearts of millions, even though it was the early hours of the morning. 

Upon arriving at Chris' home, Officers Israel and Frank knew they couldn't "show up empty-handed." They stopped at a store to pick up some treats, including a cupcake, candles, and warm wishes.

As captured by the officer's body cam, the surprise encounter unfolded with smiles and laughter. Chris greeted the officers with a smile as they presented him with the birthday treats. They sang "Happy Birthday" as Chris beamed with joy, blowing out the candles with enthusiasm.

The simple act of kindness brought tears to Chris' eyes as he thanked the officers for making his birthday unforgettable. At that moment, he felt appreciated and loved, surrounded by the warmth of strangers who had gone out of their way to make him feel special.

This heartwarming gesture reminds us of the power of kindness and compassion in our everyday lives. As Proverbs 11:25 reminds us, "A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed." In this instance, Officers Israel and Frank exemplified the true spirit of generosity, bringing joy and happiness to Chris on his birthday.

Their actions serve as a poignant reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can have a profound impact on others. As we navigate life's challenges, let us always strive to extend kindness and compassion to those around us, spreading love and joy wherever we go.

Proverbs 11:25 "A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
