Movie Monday XXXII

This is a post that you can participate in on every Monday. I'm a big fan of the cinema, so I decided to break up the Monday blues by talking about movies.

Last weekend, we celebrated 4th of July, so...

What's you're favorite "Patriotic" film on America?

Gotta go with "The Patriot". Amazing flick. Mel Gibson at his best.

Why do people go to church?

Churchrelevance.com gave some statistics on reasons for church attendance. Interesting stuff. Worship/music was only 11% for unchurched visitors. Preaching and doctorine seem to dominate. To quote them, they say...

"The statistics speak for themselves. Overall, doctrine, the pastor and his preaching, and the friendliness and fellowship of the congregation are the most influential qualities."

Click here and read the post, then come back and leave me a comment on what you think about these stats.

God's Glory

Piper is one of my favorite speakers. He's all about the main thing, which is glorifying God. Very inspiring. In fact, if you've heard my song "Radiance", it was inspired by this very description that I heard Piper give at a conference. Enjoy...

Word Wednesday .::50

Word Wednesday is posted every Wednesday. Each week I post a scripture that I've read that week that has spoken to me in a fresh way. I believe that if we read God's Word every day, He will give us at least one scripture every week that will impact us. Sharing Scripture with each other is like iron sharpening iron. Leave a comment and share a scripture that has impacted you this week.

Here's the scripture that stuck this week:

Hebrews 10:22-25 ESV

22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.

24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,

25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Confidence, faith, hope, love, together...these are all great effects of the church. Brothers and sisters in Christ meeting together to worship and edify the Body of Christ. Great scripture.
