Are you looking for some good, clean, family fun? I wanted to let you know that we are going to start a new blog on the Build Your Wall site. The new blog will be to present family friendly alternatives to the popular entertainment of the day. We will have movie reviews, book and game reviews, maybe even ideas for a fun, educational, family night. We will start by putting up video reviews of some movies that are positive over the next few weeks. There are a multitude of possibilities and no telling what will be added. Look for the new page to be added this week. It will be called Shameless Fun.

How much of your life focus is on stuff and money, status symbols and image? Probably more than you are willing to admit. Do the things that you and your family have and spend money on help you get closer to God or pull you away from Him. I will make this disclaimer that I have not seen this movie, but I do plan to soon. The reviews that I have seen and the trailer make it look like a great family film that emphasizes the importance of people over things and God above all. I am sure that there are some denominational leanings in it, but the message of God or mammon is certainly a biblical one. Being a father means making some tough decisions and then leading the family the right way. Check out the trailer and the website for yourself. www.standstrongthemovie.com/
Fathers should give good gifts to their children, but that doesn’t mean they have to cost a lot of money or that you should go into debt to do it. The fact is that the best gifts really can’t be bought. In addition, the gift of teaching children the limits of money and how they should handle their finances in the future is a good gift. I often tell my children, "It’s good to want things, and better not to get them." If you got everything you ever thought you wanted in your life how miserable would you be?
Matthew 7:9-11 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? (10) Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? (11) If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

This website has tracts, articles, radio and tv programs. There's a good bit of Bible info there handy at your fingertips. Why don't you take the time to read, listen or watch something today? Building your wall and strengthening your spiritual lives is a daily necessity!
My kids LOVE this video! Nite, Nite with Franky & Mr. Scott teaches children Bible stories with a whole lot of FUN! Stories like Jonah, Dorcas, 10 lepers, Zacchaeus and others. Franky often gets things all mixed up and Mr. Scott has to straighten him out!
Honestly, sometimes my kids get to laughing so hard at Franky's confusion, I wonder if they are learning at all! Nite, Nite with Franky and Mr. Scott is hilarious fun for the whole family. AND yes they do learn from this video. :) |
