Did you know that the music you listen to affects your physiology? Angry heavy metal music causes a neurological imbalance and can actually make you more stressful and angry. Classical musical scores can actually lower your stress and improve your body's healing response.

"Drums sound loud because there is nothing in them. Good men know themselves too well to chant their own praises...Some men’s mouths never will be stopped, except by the coffin lid. Their motto is, “While I live I’ll crow”; and so they will, for boasting is bred in their bone, and will come out of them." ~C.H.Spurgeon

Guarding our eyes
The enticements that this world has seems at times harmless; it's just a movie, it's just a little language, it's just a little nudity, it's just a little sacreligious...Remember it was just a little bite. And look where we are now.
Psalms 101:1-3 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes.
Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good
Psalms 19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Psalms 101:1-3 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes.

Avatar: A Worldview Review
This review is written by Doug Phillips and can be found here. Please take the time to read this.
Twelve Things I Learned From Avatar: A Worldview Review of the Top Film of 2010
There is so much that could be said about James Cameron’s riveting and technologically advanced blockbuster, Avatar, but I thought it would be helpful to very simply distill some of the most important messages I learned from this film which is now the highest grossing film in all of history, and which will likely be the most popular film of 2010. Below are the headlines from a forthcoming review of the film:
1. We can experience liberty when our spirits possess alien bodies.
2. Businessmen are evil because they rape the earth for profit.
3. It is noble to be a savage.
4. The earth is our mother.
5.God is female.
6. Animals are our brothers.
7. In noble cultures women are the spiritual leaders.
8. Nudity is freedom.
9. Heroes have foul mouths.
10. Shamanism and demonic possession is a means for healing.
11. Enlightened cultures are spiritually unified with animals and plants.
12. Men are born-again as they commune with the earth.
Bonus Lessons from Hollywood:
1. Pantheism is the religion of the Hollywood elite.
2. Darwinism, with its emphasis on evolution as the defining process for understanding the universe, is at the heart of Hollywood pantheism.
3. A primary mission of Hollywood pantheism is to destroy the Dominion Mandate, the doctrine of Creation and the Creator/creature distinctive detailed in the Bible.
4. Science fiction is the primary genre used as an evangelism tool for Hollywood’s religion of pantheism.
5. Films are more important than schools, pulpits, or politics, for training disciples of this new Hollywood religion.
Bonus Lessons about Christians and Hollywood:
1. Most professing Christians will check their spiritual discernment at the door of a movie theater for a cheap thrill.
2. Most professing Christians love fantasy more than reality.
3. Fantasy books, films, and television shows have trained professing Christians to be polytheists—individuals who believe that you can worship many gods at the same time—in this case, the gods of pantheism and not the God of Christianity.
4. Most professing Christians have greater delight in a pantheistic Hollywood film about non-reality, than in reading the Bible or hearing a sermon about truth.
5. Hollywood understands that the demographic of film consumption by non-Christians and Christians is essentially the same—both look to Hollywood for a fatty diet of entertainment to help them escape from reality.

Moral Issue
Is there such a thing as morally good and bad music? That would make no sense at all if morality were ony about justice and rights and duties, as it is in most modern discussion. But if morality is about the alighment or misalignment of our whole being with the goodness of God, then anything that touches or moves our whole being is morally relevant. And music certainly does that. -- Peter Kreeft in his book Making Choices.

Preaching is for Children Also
Martin Luther: “A preacher should have the skill to teach the unlearned simply, roundly, and plainly; for teaching is of more importance than exhorting…When I preach I regard neither doctors nor magistrates, of whom I have above forty in the congregation. I have all my eyes on the servant maids and the children. And if the learned men are not well pleased with what they hear, well, the door is one.”
D. Martin Lloyd-Jones: “the wise preacher keeps his eye on the simple and the children. If a great and learned man feels that he does not get anything out of the message he is condemning himself. He is condemning himself in the sense that he is not spiritually minded, that he is not able to receive spiritual truth. He is so ‘puffed up’ and blown up with his head knowledge that he has forgotten that he has a heart and a soul. He condemns himself, and if he walks out, well, he is the loser.”

Someone calls me -- Mom
The joys of motherhood are euphoric. The pains of motherhood send me to the depths of despair. An in between is the constant blessing of everyday life that can be experienced to the fullest because someone somewhere calls me Mom.

How Sweet and Aweful Is the Place
How sweet and aweful is the place
With Christ winthin the doors,
While everlasting love displays
The choicest of her stores!
'Twas the same love that spread the feast
That sweetly drew us in;
Else we had still refused to taste,
And perished in our sin.
Pity the nations, O our God!
Constrain the earth to come;
Send Thy victorious Word abroad,
And bring the strangers home.
We long to see Thy churches full,
That all the chosen race
May with one voice, and heart and soul,
Sing Thy redeeming grace.
--Isaac Watts, 1707

Let Children Hear the Mighty Deeds
Let children hear the mighty deeds
Which God performed of old;
Which in our younger years we saw,
And which ur fathers told.
He bids us make His glories know,
His works of power and grace;
And we'll convey His wonders down
Through every rising race.
Our lips shall tell them to our sons,
And they again to their'
That generations yet unborn
May teach them to their heirs.
Thus shall they learn in God alone
Their hope securely stands,
That they may ne'er forget His works,
But practice His commands.
--Isaac Watts, 1719 based on Psalm 78
