Expelled

Expelled is the documentary/movie by Ben Stein. Below is an article from Worldnet Daily
describing the film.

From the WorldNetDaily By Jill Stanek On April 18,

“Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed,” will boast the largest U.S. opening of any documentary film ever.Scheduled for release in 1,000 theatres, “Expelled” will be hotter than “Farenheit 9/11,” which debuted on 868 screens, and much more convenient to see than “An Inconvenient Truth,” which I was surprised to find opened on only four screens nationwide despite all the hype, peaking at 587 before its appeal melted.What’s “Expelled” about? Synopsizes CNS News:

“Expelled” calls attention to the plight of highly credentialed scholars who have been forced out of prestigious academic positions because they proposed Intelligent Design as a possible alternative to Charles Darwin’s 150-year-old theories about the origins of life. Instead of entertaining a debate on the merits of competing theories, the scientific establishment has moved to suppress the ID movement in a “systematic and ruthless” way at odds with America’s founding principles, the film asserts.

Liberals have been going ape about “Expelled” for months as it has been screened around the country. (end quote)

Go see expelled and support this film.

The 80's

It is Saturday. It is raining right now. This got me to thinking about the greatest decade known to mankind. The 80's.
From time to time I will do a post on the 80's.

Below is a picture of parachute pants. Did you wear them? I want to know. What colors and how often. I had a friend that had a different color for everyday of the week. THe more zippers the better.

Also is a picture of Michael Jackson's Beat it Jacket. Did you wear it?
When I was in the 8th grade at Sugar Loaf a classmate (I will protect his identity at this time for his families sake) wore the "BEAT IT" jacket to school. He was the coolest guy in school for about 3 days.
Did you own the jacket? Be honest. It has been 20 yrs!!!!

Did Simon Get Saved?

The American Idol special "Idol Gives Back" that raises money for a number of worthy causes around the world,
closed the show with the eight remaining contestants singing the song "Shout to the Lord."

For whatever reason, they changed the lyrics from "My Jesus, my Savior" to "My Shepherd, my Savior." Why would you leave the name of Jesus out? A couple of weeks ago they sang Dolly Parton songs and mentioned the name of Jesus.
That doesn't make a lot of sense but they did a good job on the song.

Thank You

Last night in Bible study we focused on the subject of praise in the Psalms.
We talked about how good God has been and is to all of His children.
Several people talked about how God had helped them during difficult times in their lives and many shared their salvation experiences with us.

We basically just Thanked our Father for His Goodness.

David said this in Psalm 145
I will extol you, my God and King,
and bless your name forever and ever.
Every day I will bless you
and praise your name forever and ever.
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised,
and his greatness is unsearchable.
The LORD is good to all,
and his mercy is over all that he has made.
All your works shall give thanks to you, O LORD,
and all your saints shall bless you!

I love this song by the Katinas. I hope it helps in your praise to the Lord!

Roy, You are not in Kansas anymore!

After UNC's terrible, pathetic, uninspired, unprepared and embarrassing performance in the Final Four, I probably would have gotten out of town faster than Benny Hinn at a Theology debate.
But not Roy, he stayed and socialized with his former team. Not just his former team but a team that just whipped and out coached him.

Now don't get me wrong I love UNC and Ol Roy more than almost anyone, but this is just in bad taste. And that sticker, I just don't want to talk about it.

What do you think? Let me know.

Prove the Tithe!

Sunday was our "Prove the Tithe" Day.
Our regular offering averages around $15,000 per week and Sunday East Taylorsville gave $32,600!!!!
Thank you for your faithfulness and obedience to the Lord and His Word.

So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7

Do you Tithe?

Dave Ramsey said this about tithing: “If all Christians tithed there would be no more welfare in North America. In 90 days there would be no more existing church or hospital debt. In the next 90 days the entire world could be evangelized. There would be prayer in schools because Christians would buy all the schools.”

Everybody Loves Raymond's Patricia Heaton is a double Emmy award-winning actress, who has reportedly been pulling down over $6 million a year said this about tithing
“I struggle to keep it simple. Obedience, sacrifice, and modesty are not real popular buzzwords out here. An issue I'm dealing with lately is, "Do I have too much money, and am I being a good steward of it?" In fact, I was talking to a friend about tithing—just giving your 10 percent as opposed to giving until it actually starts costing you something, which is what I think tithing is all about.

God said this " 10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,”
Says the LORD of hosts,

“ If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
Malachi 3:10
