"Jesus is there for us in the Scriptures. How often do we ignore Him? We must shake off this indifference. Only the Faith and the wisdom of the Church can save us, but it requires men and women, warriors ready to risk their good names, even their very lives to stand up for the truth." - Jim Caviezel
Ephesians 6:11
Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil

Quote of the Day 6/16/11
"I have been placed in this job for a purpose, and I am just trying to make great movies and keep my eyes on Him. I don't deserve any praise....It is definitely all God's hand that I get to do this. And who knows how long this will last? He may choose someone else." - Ralph Winter
There are so many being led astray today. There are false gospels being preached, people saying God is not important or not embracing His Word as part of their lives. These thoughts and ideas are constantly being fed to us daily via radio, television, movies and conversations at the coffee shop. You hear it and your kids hear it. Soon it will be widely accepted and then what?
Maybe we feel that God is important but not in our profession. Some think that is is the job of the church or a pastor not us or that God really has no place in our job and certainly not in what we listen to or watch.
The fact is that God is in every part of our lives and is very important. After all, He created us and everything! God has given us all a purpose and talents. He has placed us where we are as part of His plan. Like Ralph Winter said, it is not about us but for Him, for His glory. Let's do His Work.
Isaiah 12:4
And in that day you will say,
“Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name.
Make known His deeds among the peoples;
Make them remember that His name is exalted.”

Quote of the Day 6/13/11
"The point of your life is to point to Him. Whatever you are doing, God wants to be glorified, because this whole thing if His. It is His movie, His world, His gift." - Francis Chan
Francis Chan is truly a man of God and really knows what it means to live for God. The quote above is from his book Crazy Love which I would encourage anyone to read. I am only on chapter 4 and there is so much spiritual food I can hardly digest it. The point is clear though. All that we have is from God, created by God for God's glory. He gave us our bodies, our food, our families, all our talents, our very lives. And God takes care of what is His. Don't you think our God deserves our praise? Don't you think other need to know that too?
Ephesians 2:10
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

Quote of the Day 6/11/11
"I firmly believe that in every situation, no matter how difficult, God extends grace greater than the hardship, and strength and peace of mind that can lead us to a place higher than where we were before." - Andy Griffith
God really is bigger and more powerful then we can imagine. No matter what our sin, struggle or difficulty we have, God's grace is sufficient for us all.
2 Corinthians 12:9
And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

Quote of the Day 6/07/11
"God calls us to use our minds, to use our hearts to distinguish between good and evil, between right and wrong, even on our use of technology…digital technology is not inherently evil. It can and must be used in ways that honor and glorify God." - Tim Challies
Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men,

Quote of the Day 6/02/11
“I have been giving it all to God and He has blessed me as a result because I am doing it His way.” – Butch Hartman
We need to be doing things God’s way. It is the best way and He blesses us in our obedience.
Psalm 18:30
As for God, His way is blameless;
The word of the LORD is tried;
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

Quote of the Day 6/01/11
"I look at animation as a gift from God. We're helping the public to see the beauty of God's creation." - Glen Keane
God gives us all gifts to glorify Him. I echo Glen Keane's view point. My prayer is that all of us can see our talents in the same way.
James 1:17
Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
