Influencing Our Culture 5.15.12

The god of Mammon 5.1.12
It would appear that the biggest competition to our relationship with Father is
our distraction with money, or our provision. Many have felt betrayed or
just flat out burned by the institutional church's manipulation for the never

of God?

Blue Like Jazz recently hit the theaters after a prologue of disgust from
the institutional church. The new movie based on
Donald Miller's book is the first in what
we believe is a new wave of movies that begin to reveal the uncomfortable truth
of the struggles Christians have with Christianity.
