Download the MP3 file here, and then listen to twenty minutes of fun talk on Generations Radio with Kevin Swanson. Kevin discusses the McChurch phenominon and where covenant churches need to be different.
My Father has talked to a number of women in the past who, when approached about the issue of modesty, throw up the defense, 'But I have no idea what men are thinking!'
Indeed, without asking, it's hard to know what is on a guy's mind. Well, Alex and Brett Harris asked, and thousands of young men gave an answer.
Women who want to be modest, and truly desire to not stumble their brothers in Christ have been provided with an incredible resource. The Modesty Survey. The survey brought up difficult questions, and the result is a compilation of opinions and thoughts on everything from makeup to shoes, and how they effect young men's minds and eyes.
I highly recommend checking it out, and spreading the word. Endorsed by Nancy Leigh DeMoss and C. J. Mahaney, The Modesty Survey is no small thing. It strikes close to the heart of Christian purity, both for men and women.
My Father teaches a fairly patriotic circle of men and their families. When a portion of this team went to a business conference in Colorado, some of the Texans let their colors show. Namely? Cameron Heidrick.
The Alaskan boy moves to Texas, and becomes acclimated. No big deal, right?
But then winter hits. And in Texas, winters are humid. Humidity supercharges the cold, making it nearly as bad if not worse than Alaska's arid climate. So the Alaskan boy hibernates in his cave, listening to Doug Phillips and Bill Einwechter, venturing out only to hear God's word preached by Pastor Bacon.
However, come February, the harshest of the Texas cold spell is over, and the hibernating boy awakens.
Hello everybody! I hope I wasn't missed...
Watched Chronicles of Narnia (the new one by Walden Media) while hibernating in my hole. I almost expected to thoroughly enjoy it, after all the rave reviews I'd heard.
Unfortunately, I was severely disappointed. While Harry Gregson Williams produced a marvelous score (at least in sections), the rest of the film was disappointing. I dare say the music and the CG lion were the only good parts of the film. And the fake snow.
My problem with the film was not the fantasy elements, but the poor rendition of the reality elements. Siblings constantly at war with each other, filled with disrespect for one another. No repentance on the part of the rascal (Edmund... I think), and the adults are all either fools or they aren't present. This last point, the ghost adults, made me reflect a bit on Bubble Trouble. Did we effectively portray the parents as being ever present and directing the lives of the Moore children? Did I portray Dad as the firm yet warm leader of his family, or a typical secular father who leaves home in the morning and returns at night, with little to no interaction with his family?
Thinking back on this, I wish I had handled that element of the story better. How can I fix this?
The current best option is Siblings 3.
At any rate, Chronicles of Narnia made it's way from the bargain bin to the trash bin. Other films have as well, but Chronicles of Narnia was the most notable.
Have yawl thrown away movies before? Which ones? What about Books?
I've thrown away books too. The Left Behind books most notably.
