Handy Chart for Easy Reference

I was looking through some of my reference books this afternoon and I ran across a very handy little brochure that compares the truths of the Word of God to the error of many different cults. This is a perfect pass-out item for any small group or Sunday School Class. It will help to focus the believer on biblical truths and help them to be better prepared when they must confront someone with a false doctrinal view.

The brochures are available from www.moodypublishers.com

What to watch?

I was looking for some good choices to add to my Netflix movie list. It is hard to find good subject matter that is also entertaining. One of the places that I like to check is http://www.christiananswers.net/spotlight/.

As you browse through their movie list and reviews you will feel a little more informed about what you are choosing to watch; or better yet, what your children will be watching.

I noticed a new movie listed on the early years of Billy Graham. There is one for my list! Billy: The Early Years of Billy Graham

Better yet, Plan a fellowship night. Pop some corn and invite some friends over. Now, you can share a good movie together!

Do Hard Things, is swiping across our youth culture with lightening speed.
The book is written by teens from a Christian viewpoint. The teens present their own testimonies and encourage other young people to push their skills to the limit and set their expectations to new heights.

Now, there is a tract that you can order from ATS,American Tract Society, that captures the excitement of the book and gives an excellent overview of the heart beat of the motivation. The tract is a great tool to help summarize the motto of the book,"Do Hard Things". You can even send a copy of the tract electronically.

Excerpted from an interview with Alex and Brett Harris by Courtney Tarter.

When they were 18 years old, Alex and Brett Harris wrote the book for teens entitled, Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations. The book climbed to number five at Amazon.com before it was even released. Alex and Brett talk about this teenage "Rebelution" in an interview they did.
