Culture: Extra Credit - Week 3

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, change my heart to look more like yours.

Extra credit is different this time because it will be two weeks before we will meet again.  So, since we have a little time on our hands, I want to challenge you to spend some time learning about God's truths in a different way.  PLEASE stay in His word daily!  I Timothy 6 would be a great chapter to focus on.  I want to challenge you to do at least 1 of 3 things:

                 1. READ TRUTH!

Tons of people read during the holidays especially if you are traveling.  So, here are some great reads that speak truth to our topic of culture.

Radical by David Platt
Radical Together by David Platt
The Heavenly Man by Paul Hattaway
Jumping Through Fires by David Nasser
I Never Thought I'd See The Day by Dr. David Jeremiah
Revolution In World Missions by K.P. Yohannan
Leadership And Self-Deception Getting Out of the Box by The Box by The Arbinger Institute
Crazy Love by Francis Chan
Kisses From Katie by Katie Davis and Beth Clark

               2. WATCH TRUTH. . . OR LISTEN
Check out a couple of podcasts! I enjoy watching these while I'm cooking or working in the kitchen.

On the left side of the page click on "broadcast archives".  Then scroll down to June 14, 2010; June 28, 2010,   Check these out -- I heard them a long time ago, but I think they apply.

               3. PRAY TRUTH

Take just a minute each day of the holidays to pray a truth to Jesus  . . . such as . . .
"Lord, I know you created me for your glory and not my own.  Help me desire You above all things."
"Lord, help me to resolve myself to follow you just as Daniel did in Babylon."
"Lord, help me to resist the temptations that get in the way of my devotion to you."

I am proud of you for hanging in there with us during the holidays!  Stay strong, sweet friends!  We are almost to the end of the month.  Resolve not to give in.  It's only a few more days.  Remember your little black books.  You might read or hear something in the "Extra Credit" that you can jot down.  I can't wait to hear what you all have to share on Wednesday the 30th.  Happy Thanksgiving to you!  May we truly be thankful for Him!

Love you friends!
