A $20 BILL

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value in God's eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to Him. Psalm 17:8 states that God will keep us, "as the apple of His eye." THOUGHT: The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we are but by WHOSE WE ARE! You are special - Don't ever forget it!

SON OF GOD the MOVIE

Jesus is the Son of God, and this movie proclaims it! It's what Muslims need to know, and the rock they stumble over. I'm a little upset that they seem to be making this stuff up as they go and they forgot to mention that Peter first let Jesus use his boat so He could pull away from shore and preach to the multitudes. If you are going to put it on the big screen, why not tell it like it is? I see they were trying to make a correlation between the stone that the devil tempted Jesus to turn into bread and the multiplying of the fishes, but the facts are that Jesus came down from the 40 day fast and began preaching in the synagogues. Luke chapter 4.
What would Jesus think of it? He has patience with everyone who seeks him, coming to God as a little child. I think the producers accomplished that. But it wasn't necessary to stray from the facts of the Word to do it. Everybody can be shouting, "Oh, wonderful, wonderful!" because it's an emotional response to the great and awesome things Jesus did, but it's not alright to make it up as you go and use that kind of poetic license with the scripture lest you find yourself at odds with the Word Himself; Jesus is the Word made flesh, you can't rearrange that. How hard would it be to show that Jesus preached from Peter's boat first and then he told him to go out into the deep and let down his nets for a draught?

WEATHER WARNING!

Mr. President, here is your peace accord: "The towns from Ekron to Gath that the Philistines had captured from Israel were restored to Israel, and Israel delivered the neighboring territory from the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites." 1 Samuel 7:14
The 1st picture is Israel today; the 2nd picture is Israel as God intended.

Israel today. Picture below: Israel as designated by God.

I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; and they have divided up My land. Joel 3:2

DEAD MAN DOWN

I thought Dead Man Down was going to be a war movie about heroism in battle, and when I saw that it was turning out to be a kind of ‘thug movie’ I almost quit it because they rarely have a happy ending and I love a movie with a happy ending, especially a love story. Colin Farrell plays a hit man void of reason to live other than to have his vengeance on a group of men that killed his wife and little girl. He is distracted by a woman, played by Noom Rapace, who blackmails him into killing the man who maimed her for life and got off scot free. They can’t fix their own lives and they can’t let the pain go, but miraculously, they begin to care about helping each other overcome theirs. Slowly, tumultuously, almost unnoticeably, their own healing begins. If you don’t watch movies with shooting, fighting and killing or that show how despicable life can be, you might want to avoid this one. It has so many twists and turns I don’t want to ruin it for you. All I can say is you will not be sorry you gave this one a chance. All things considered, in the end it actually does turn out to be a very good kind of war movie, and an awesome example of the miracle transforming power of love. When he comes to rescue her, it can be seen that the classical ‘Jesus plot’ is still alive and well in Hollywood. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Hallelujah!
