"Light Of Life" is the forthcoming debut album for The American Poets. The core members of the group, Jeff & Christine Maldonado, released a prior album of acoustic/folk based songs under the name "The Providence" which brought them much success and recognition in their home region of South Florida. Now with a new name, additional band members, and a new "indie- pop/rock" sound, The American Poets will be taking their music beyond their home town and reaching audiences everywhere. Keep an eye (and an ear) out for their debut CD, "Light of Life", due to be released Summer 2007, with tour
dates to follow....................................................................

Behold, I Have Set Before Thee an Open Door Larry Kirkpatrick. 3 September 1999. Daystar Academy, UT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revelation 3:7-8 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia, write; These things saith He that is holy, He that is true, He that hath the key of David, He that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My word, and hast not denied My name. The one who says that He has set before us an open door, describes Himself as holy, true, having the key of David, one who shuts and opens, and keeps what’s He’s opened, open, and what He’s shut, shut. We know from Revelation chapter one that this is Christ. But those qualities are especially emphasized, of One who has ultimate moral authority and power to act. And He tells the church of Philadelphia that He has set before her an open door. Our text is a prophecy directly to the church of the Philadelphia time era, but we will apply it to ourselves. Because to each one of us, God has set right in front of us an open door, a gateway, a portal, an opportunity to build our lives with Him. This is really what God has done for each of us. Before each one of us, He has set an open door. To each of us is given that ultimate faculty: choice. And no one can close the door that God has opened for you or for me. No one except ourselves. And we must use that door. It is there to go thru. And if we put the "little strength" given us by God into living for Him, if we use it to keep His word, and we refuse, no matter how much the world attempts to get us to deny Him, we can go thru it to our bright future. Does anyone doubt that Jesus has set in front of you an open door? In front of you?
