Re-introduce Christ

Just found this video of Blair Wingo from P4CM (Passion for Christ Movement). She uses poetry to declare the message of the cross and holy living. She is a real blessing and challenges us all to have a real relationship with Jesus Christ.
We saw this video during last Impact Worship service and also at the Bible study. I am sure everyone was impacted with this strong message.
If you want to watch again, here is the youtube address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNJ5oi1cw2I
What did God say to you through this? Please share with us.

Monday night Impact Worship Bible Study (IWBS)

Just an invitation to all of you english learners and seekers of God's truth, we now have a monday night Bible study at my place. It is another great opportunity to meet others and share with one another in english. Come and practice and grow together in the Word of God. If you have already visited our Bible study, leave a message and invite others to join us.

The Light of Darkness

We watched this video last sunday. I believe we can get many lessons from it, so please watch again and leave your comment on how it impacted you or can impact others.
One thing that stands out for me is how we need to be willing to help others. We need to understand the danger they are in and reach out to them. The question is: how willing are we to help and do we feel the desperation of the danger and the need to warn others?
Well, let us know what you think. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dscYfKiPfxE&feature=related or look under the title THE LIGHT OF DARKNESS

Be Thankful

Here are some links to two very special people's testimony. I believe that after you listen and see you will take a different look at life. We complain just way too much in life and the Bible shows that murmuring, complaining, and whining doesn't get you anywhere (except maybe 40 years in the desert). So take a look at these and get a new perspective on life. If their stories touch your heart, please share with us your thoughts.

Movie - The Board

This movie shows us the internal fight within our mind as we face different decisions of life. I hope you all got the message of the movie and that it will help you see that Jesus Christ needs to be the chairman of the board of directors in our life. The next time you need to make a decision remember that the "mind" will try to rationalize; the "conscience" will try to decide between right and wrong; the "emotions" will try to feel; the memory will try to recall any past connections; the "will" will be moved by desire; and the "heart" will try to control all decisions, but the Bible says that our heart is deceived and we must let Jesus take over as Lord. Well, let us know what you thought of the movie and what message impacted you.

Dialtone

Last sunday we watched the movie "Dialtone". Would love to hear your comments about this movie and message. I don't know about you but this movie made me really stop and think about what message would I give if I knew it was the last time I would have a chance to talk to them.
Here are the links to two songs by Casting Crowns that also talk about this topic.
