If you want to watch a very good, tear-jerking, truthful video with a great spiritual lesson, take a look at this youtube. Make sure you have plenty of kleenex handy. Our teens are going to put on this skit at our church soon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEUVSbD9NF8

Also, have you heard about this thing called "The Emerging Church" movement? It's also called "the Emergent Church" movement. Either way, it seems to be a serious and dangerous attempt to water down the Gospel and the authority of God's Word the Bible. Take a look at John MacArthur's comments on this in an interview with Answers in Genesis ministry:

I love great quotations. Hope you enjoy some of these:

"The saving of souls, if a man has once gained love for perishing sinners and His blessed Master, will be an all-absorbing passion to him. It will so carry him away that he will almost forget himself in the saving of others. . .
If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for."
Charles Haddon Spurgeon, British 19th century preacher

"Because God came to me in grace when He could have come to me in wrath--
Because He showed me light, while I was walking in darkness,
How can I refuse this same grace to people who have hurt me so?
God bridged the gap for me--
How can I refuse to give this true story to the people who at one time abused me?

St. Patrick, missionary to Ireland, 5th century


"A Republic once equally poised must either preserve its virtue or lose its liberty."

John Witherspoon, 18th century Presbyterian minister and the only preacher to sign the Declaration of Independence

"Men having often abandoned what was visible for the sake of what was uncertain, have not got what they expected, and have lost what they had. . ."

Athenaeus, 2nd century A.D. Greek writer


"Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves. . ."

Winston Churchill, 20th century Prime Minister of Great Britain, and probably the greatest statesman of the 20th century
