God First!

My name is  Chris  McQuistion. I am 24 years old currently living in Christiansburg, VA. I work at Belmont Christian Church, as a worship pastor. Leading worship and writing is my passion and calling for the Kingdom. It has been a crazy journey to get to where I am now.  As I went through college, I didn’t always pursue the heart of worship. I originally went for nursing and wanted to help people in that way. But, as I got a year and a half into the program I was feeling God pull me into ministry. At first I really wrestled with Him about this call on my life. I didn’t feel equipped, worthy, or even feel that I would be financially stable. But I realized that music and leading worship was so much more than just a weekend thing, it was a passion and a release. It was not happening because of my nursing studies. I was so frustrated and realized that I was just slowly being fried from it all. I remember I went home to lead worship for my local high school and told a...

Jesus and the cross... This is the formula for “Ministry”, that best describes the mission of Recording Artist, and Minister Michael C Mayes. He originates from Houston, TX. Michael combines Christian lyrics with a blend of Hip-Hop, R&B and an even sometimes Rock and Alternative flair to reach the generational ear of today. During years of adolescence, he participated in church choir and musical theatre. One of his fonder memories is dedicating his life over to faith in Jesus Christ at an annually attended youth convention. Coming to Christ at an early age, has come with its ups and downs, according to Michael. Determination is of the utmost importance while walking out a relationship with Jesus and embarking upon ministry. Life hasn’t been easy or “a piece of cake” as he puts it, but realizing that a walk of salvation must be accepted as a “forever” will most certainly keep things in proper perspective. Michaels’ mission is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all who...

At the age of 9 years old, Joshlyn Camille Lomax was observed in church singing for the Pastor's Anniversary. The difference in this performance was that she performed a Jaunita Bynam song, in Jaunita Bynam's adult vocal range. It was shortly thereafter that Jillian M Lomax the fraternal twin sister of Joshlyn displayed her awesome Operatic vocal range, and through an affiliation with Muzik And all That's Samuel Abraham Jr., and BLAPOP Records USA and Joseph Wright Jr., a desire to record a song featuring the twins was born. The BFFT's(Best Friend Fraternal Twin) as they call themselves have managed to amass a very impressive resume' up to this point. The resume' includes, but is not limited to, having appeared in episodes of Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D., performed in the musical "Clara's Heart" with Joshlyn playing young Clara (for which she won an award) and Jillian playing her sister Young Willa Ward, they've both performed individually...

The message behind "Jesus Loves You" was written when I was in college. I was walking through my campus, and I remember saying to myself "thank you Jesus for your love..." but do others know that they too are loved and are special to Christ? The message is a reminder that no matter who you are, where you are from, or what you have done; your Redeemer has given you an invitation of grace and forgiveness. The Love of Christ is for all! The Gospel of Jesus Christ is given to all, to know the love that God has for his creation. You, Beloved are a part of that Creation, and God loves you and has a purpose destined for you. John 14:6 "Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." We live in a fast and ever changing world, in which we can often get caught up and forget the purpose of life. Situations happen, and circumstances may come and go, but God never changes.  I want to encourage you that whateve...
