Review: Razor’s Edge

Review: Razor’s Edge

Though an old video, created in 1994, The Razor's Edge has timeless truths. Richard "Toledo" Williamson, was a hustler, fighter, and drug dealer while trying to make a name for himself and erase the "You are nothing" title given to him by his step dad. Through a series of events he finds himself at an extremely low point in his life and almost takes his own life! A friend and a small booklet change his life and show the power of the message found in the world's best seller. We watched this video with the youth after asking and discussing…

Review: Seeking the Lost

Review: Seeking the Lost

As we gear up for a conference which we have each year at Easter time, I have been teaching the youth Seeking the Lost by William A. Ogden which is found in our blue "Sing the Gospel" hymnbooks. From the first time that we listened to this song in order to sing along with it, the youth enjoyed it. Not only does the song have wonderful words, but it has a nice up beat and catchy tune with bass parts for the boys and an alto part for the girls which the youth absolutely loved. William A. Ogden was a…

Review: It’s NOT an Easy Road!

Review: It’s NOT an Easy Road!

Over the past few weeks as friends and those who are part of our Bible study at home have struggled with their health, under gone surgery or a variety other things, this song has been such an encouragement to each one; what a blessing the song has been! I personally had never heard it before until a young lady in our group introduced it to us just recently. It is in the hymn book “Zambia Sings” and yet I just overlooked it like all the others I don’t know. However, after she introduced it to us, it was not long…

Review: A matter of Faith

Review: A matter of Faith

One of the most challenging times in my life and in the lives of many youth in this world is the moment that they leave their parent’s home and step out into this world. Often this coincides with starting college or university, a place where they are introduced to many new ideas, faiths, ways of life, ways of thinking and ways of being. For all it is a time where they have to wrestle with who they are, what they believe and what they want to become and do in this world. Some wander through college and university without finding…

Love is ALWAYS demonstrated

Love is ALWAYS demonstrated

Dear Friend: Have you ever heard someone say “I love you” but there is no action or physical evidence of it? I’m sure each one of us has experienced this and we very quickly conclude that the speaker is not telling the truth. Why? Because true love ALWAYS must be demonstrated in some way or other. There MUST be evidence of love – in fact not just love but every such quality, like joy, patience etc... Each quality has actions that show that a person has that quality. What actions would you say show love? There could be many small…

Review: Will your Anchor Hold?

Review: Will your Anchor Hold?

Not long ago we were studying in the book of Acts. The author, Luke, writes about Paul’s traumatic journey to Rome, the many days on a ship being driven about in a giant storm. Finally, after “all hope was lost”, the Lord saved all on board even though the ship was completely destroyed. After that study someone wanted to sing a song that had boats and anchors in it as they’d heard one once so we found “Will your Anchor Hold?” and sang it for the first time with the youth. From that day, it caught on and became a…

Is Hell real?

Is Hell real?

Dear Friend: The word “hell” is said by a lot of people in various ways. Some use it as a swear word or insult, others as a joking word, some call it a real place, others say it’s just a sham (fake) and a way to scare people. So, is hell real? People have many ideas about hell, but what is the truth? Is it real or fake? Well, when we look at our English Bible’s, the Lord Jesus himself is the person who spoke the word “hell” the most times. Here are some of the words he said about…

Review: Play the Flute

Review: Play the Flute

Play the Flute is a story about a youth group and a new pastor’s desire that the youth in the group take the Bible seriously. Through the film there are a number of good messages about death, truth, dating, marriage, and a number of other relevant topics for youth. Through it all a number of good things are taught: the importance of memory verses, the value of regular reading of God’s Word, the importance of doing what is right even if it causes you to suffer, repenting for what is wrong and much more. There are a number of characters…

Review: Unidentified – Are UFOs real?

Review: Unidentified – Are UFOs real?

To be honest, with the connection to UFOs, at first I ignored this video as most videos about UFOs focus on scaring people and the theme “us verses them” or “how we beat them” or something like that. However, once I did get around to watching this video I found it has quite a different approach and is actually very refreshing. The focus of the video Unidentified is the question “What is the reason behind the UFO sightings?” There is certainly a lot of excitement and fear about this topic in the world and so the focus of this video…
