Box O'Jesus
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Feb 06, 2010
| | A drama about walking the walk. Director's Notes:
As I mentioned earlier, you can alter many of my existing dramas to work with a new subject. With that in mind, I decided to alter 'The Attic' to focus on why how people know that we are Christians. When you hear the old song 'They will know we are Christians by our love...' what does that mean to you? How do we show others that we are Christians? Although no one has a literal 'Box O' Jesus' where they keep evidence of their faith, many people show their relationship with God based on stuff ather than how th...read more |
What Sin?
By Stephen M. Newman - Worship Leaders - Feb 06, 2010
| | When we discuss the issue of sin in worship or coming before the Lord with sin, we often imply that in order to have true worship we must confess to the Lord each sin committed for that week or that day…..to come before Him with any sin will hinder our worship experience. We teach our people that we must constantly be confessing our sin to the Lord, and if we fail to do so, our worship will not reach heaven. Our prayers will fall short of the pearly gates because we have failed to confess every little sin that we have committed up to that point. Heaven help us if it...read more |
Faith’s Language
By John A. White - Worship Articles - Feb 04, 2010
| | At the end of “Saving Private Ryan,” the elderly James Ryan, turns from Captain John Miller’s grave (played by Tom Hanks) and asks his wife, “Am I a good man?” Sometimes other people, with their unique perspective of our actions, are better positioned to assess the incongruities between what we think about ourselves and behavior (Romans 7:1). Although the answers can be disturbing, asking is necessary for our maturity in Christ. Examining our behavior gives voice to beliefs that we otherwise ignore or disguise. James holds the key to discerning our beliefs in light...read more |
My Prayer
By Terri Pettyjohn - Devotionals - Feb 04, 2010
| | Phillipians 1:9-11 “And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit
of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ - to the glory and praise of God.”
Aren’t you glad that we celebrate Christianity, not religion? As we mature and proceed in our Christian lives, it’s not
about t...read more |
Bluetree, God Of This City
By EXW Staff - Music Reviews - Feb 03, 2010
| | Even with an ocean separating the United States from Bluetree’s home of Belfast, Ireland, the band definitely identifies with the common struggle of desensitization to a seemingly constant stream of bad news.
With bombings, a long history of bloodshed between those who actually claim to love and serve God, and random acts of violence the stuff of daily headlines in Belfast, the band’s lead vocalist and guitarist Aaron Boyd admits that “you eventually grow so numb that when you hear that a car bomb killed 10 people, you immediately go on with the mundane business o...read more |
