List without a View

Others have posted this recently and I feel the need to again. I seem to think I've done this in the past, but am too lazy tonight to look up past post. However it's a good reminder of what I still need to see. Some of these I've had numerous opportunities to see but I feel like the need to be watched with a certain mood or certain people.
Anyone want to come over and watch a movie...dibs I'm not renting it!...okay I will.

This is the Truth


Saw this today. Apparently it's been seen over 750,000 times on Youtube. A great idea executed well.

Quote

"Now it is comparatively easy to be faithful if we do not care about being contemporary, and easy also to be contemporary if we do not bother to be faithful. It is the search for a combination of truth and relevance which is exacting."
—John Stott, Christian Mission in the Modern World, page 43
