We will all face difficult times in our lives.  The type of difficulty will vary but we will certainly be faced with the challenge of hardship of one kind or another.  Discouragement is like a nagging fly that just keeps landing on your nose or flying in your face.  It needs to be smacked with a fly swatter and put to an end to keep it from ruining your view of life.

Several years ago when I was driving to an event in Southern Nebraska I had to leave very early in the morning.  It was a blessed day with a beautiful sunrise over the stark Nebraska landscape.  The fly that was bothering me was unemployment and the fear of being without the daily necessities we all require.  The song, “Like a Priceless Pearl” was conceived out of that irritation.  The realization that my wealth came from knowing Jesus and the power of His presence in my life.  ”I have found the greatest treasure, for his love is finer than gold, I have found life without measure, for his mercies are like diamonds and fine gold.”   Smack!! The fly was gone.

If you are discouraged today, listen to “Like a Priceless Pearl” and know that despite your hardship, you are beloved of God and blessed with the abundance of His mercies and love.

Good Friday is the day when the worst of human behavior was used to redeem the world.  The day when the entire weight of our combined offense was laid upon the Son of God and with His sacrifice we were ransomed from death.  So great is the love of God for us that He was willing to allow his only Son to suffer the most humiliating death imaginable in order that we might be redeemed.  ”If God is for us, who can be against us?”   In the light of all of that, we are challenged to do the same.  To forgive what may seem to be unforgivable.  To not withhold the freedom afforded us on the cross from those who have in some way hurt us.  Forgiveness is not cheap or easy.  But it is the pathway we must walk if we are to be like Jesus.  Listen to the song “I Forgive”  from “Light Your Torches”.  TB

Hello!  This is the first post on the new P.E.W. Music site! Just FYI P.E.W. Music was started in 1995 by Tom Bierer and Sarah Keller primarily for the promotion of Sarah’s first recording project “We Have Faith” in which she performed songs that I have written.  For the past 17 years I (Tom Bierer ) have been maintaining P.E.W. Music in order to give people access to my song writing talents. This new website is here to continue that access.

Since “We Have Faith” was released in 1995 I have continued to write and have additional material I am able to share with those who are seeking new worship music or music bearing some aspect of Christian faith. Please take a look at the Demos page to listen to my tunes some of which are new, some are old, and some are new recordings of old songs. You’ll be able to purchase digital copies of “We Have Faith” on May 27th, 2011 on iTunes and Spotify and physical copies will be pressed as soon as they are demanded!
