Welcome to the BALM Ministries Website!

The Guest Book and Blog pages have changed:
Leave your comments on our new "Guest or Blog" page, or read the current happenings on the
"Chronicles" page.

I'm so glad you came to visit us and pray that you see the hope that Jesus gives us when you read these pages.  The
Bible tells us in 1 Peter to ALWAYS be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks, a reason for the hope that is
within us.  It is in that spirit that we write on these pages, that we sing the songs and write the lyrics that tell about that
hope.  If people leave their email addresses and names, I answer every email, too - praying always that you can receive
Christ in you, the hope of glory!

IIMPORTANT Tax Note:  The IRS requires that we send donation statements to all supporters donating over $600. Donation statements for tax reporting were sent to those supporters donating over $500 for the year. If you donated less than $500 and would like a donation statement, just send us an email to SSBALM@AOL.COM, and we will send out a receipt within a week.

Oh hurray, a new year - new beginnings, new challenges.  We do thank God for all of you - and for all that Jesus is doing in our lives.  Again, my son Johnny has directed us to the scriptures about Jesus making all things new (2 Cor.5:17).  That means that my new nature is already at work in the world and when I fight old bitternesses or addictions, I'm no longer "fighting myself," because I am a new creation in Christ. It doesn't mean we don't fight off things, of course - we all do. But it helps to know that those are not things that are part of my true self anymore.  It's just stuff I need to shrug off so that I can be the "real me" in my new life.
 Blessings, Marsha and Cindy
 


 

"If Larry Norman is to be called the father of Christian Rock, then Marsha Stevens certainly deserves to be known as the mother of contemporary Christian music, a title that Christian Century and others have bestowed upon her. She was the leader of what is considered to be the world's first contemporary Christian music group, Children of the Day, and she has continued as a solo artist to produce albums of worship-oriented and edifying adult contemporary pop. As such, she remains the progenitor of what, by 2002, would become the single most popular genre in the contemporary Christian music market." - Excerpt from "The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music", Sept. 2002
