~ WEEKLY SCRIPTURE ~
So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us” (2 Corinthians 4:16, 17)
I admire the work of Rebecca St.James, Celine Dion, Natalie Grant, Sarah McLachlan, Enya, and Paramore.

When Ashley Reynolds was a little girl she used to sing in front of the mirror using a hairbrush for a microphone, just like many little girls do. What was different, however, was the fact that the songs she chose were not those on pop radio but instead they were Bible Songs that captured her heart and her soul. It was obvious in God's plan that many years later she would move on from a hairbrush to a real microphone, but the root of her music is still Scripture based and her heart is committed to Christ alone.
Ashley Reynolds insists her story is nothing big (or even tragic for that matter). She grew up in small-town America with a family she loves, and a typical pre-teen lifestyle. She tried competitive figure skating, Miss Pre-Teen pageants, and spent much of her free time in a dance studio studying classical ballet, tap and jazz. She started singing in her church at the young age of 13 which led her to performances at local festivals, churches and other special community events. Slowly she came to the realization that she didnt really want to be doing what everyone else was doing-she wanted to be "extraordinary" and she wanted to commit her life and talents to serving God. At the young age of 16, she accepted her vocation, laid down all her gifts and talents at Jesus' feet and committed her life to ministry and stewardship. She was so focused on this goal, that she went to her family and asked them to give up everything to follow this journey with her. They agreed and soon Many Waters Ministries was born.
At 17, Ashley Reynolds and her family moved to Texas. The community quickly embraced her and before she knew it she was performing over 50 shows a year including appearances at University of Houston's college campus, fund raising events with the Salvation Army, local womens conferences, and festivals; like BlessFest where she appeared on the bill with Jeff Deyo, Superchick and others. Eventually Ashley made her way into a studio and recorded her first demo which included the inspirational ballad, All That You Bring. This song caught the attention of a producer and she was invited to come to New Mexico to record her first full length CD titled Broken Pieces. The highlight of the album experience for Ashley was that she was able to include two songs that came directly from her heart and from her pen. The release of this independent project confirmed that Ashley Reynolds would be on her way to serving God as a Christian based singer/songwriter.
Like a delicate flower just starting to grow, Ashley Reynolds continues to be watered by Gods bountiful blessings. Just recently she received the Pop Artist of the Year award at the 2006 KCCM Awards held in Kansas City. She is currently writing new material for her sophomore release and is building a tour schedule that will give her the platform to talk about her ministry in greater detail.
Ashley Reynolds insists her story is nothing big, but clearly, thats not how God sees it!

“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”
How is one “born of water and the Spirit”? Some believe this is how God’s kingdom enters men’s hearts.
Without examining any other scripture, this thinking can be disproved with two points just from the context: (1) Verse 6 is speaking of someone who is Spirit. Notice the phrase, “and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit,” and (2) Verse 5 states that Christians enter God’s kingdom. It does not say that the kingdom enters into Christians or their hearts.
Now notice several other verses, which clarify John 3:5:
James 1:18: God begets His children with the word.
I Peter 1:22-23: God’s truth is obeyed through or with the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 5:26: We are all washed by the water of the word.
When taken together, these verses reveal that Christians are washed by water and the word now—in this life. Also, the word translated born can be translated begotten and, in most other contexts, this would be the correct rendering. Initially, either word would seem to be acceptable as a proper translation in verse 5. However, verse 6 demonstrates that the only correct meaning is born. The end result describes one who is composed of spirit—not just one who has it.
