Best Commercial
While this past weekend delivered a great game, the commercials were a fixed bag. Many seemed dull, crude or worse. But this one was an exception, reminding us of God's creation and what makes up character. Check it out HERE Let us  know your thoughts and favorites
A WOW! Video
  
"Johnny Football"
Texas A&M Quarterback Johnny Manziel recently won the Heisman trophy as a freshman. In one of the most impressive trick shots caught on video, "Johnny Football" perfectly zooms a football into a basketball hoop from the top of the College Station stadium. Manziel is joined by trick-shot team Dude Perfect, who in 2009 sunk the world's longest basketball shot from a slightly closer part of a stadium. Watch this unbelievable performance

C. S. Lewis on Real Men 

"God can show Himself as He really is only to real men. And that means not simply to men who are individually good, but to men who are united together in a body, loving one another, helping one another, showing Him to one another. For that is what God meant humanity to be like; like players in one band, or organs in one body."

C. S. Lewis  

 

Memories and Dreams 
"When your memories are more exciting than your dreams, you've begun to die." - Howard Hendricks

 

Cowardice and Conscience

"Cowardice asks, Is it safe? Expediency asks, Is it politic? Vanity asks, Is it popular? But conscience asks, Is it right?" - Martin Luther King Jr.

A Message for All Men on Radical Living 
 

David Platt is the Lead Pastor at The Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham AL and author of bestselling books Radical, Radical Together and his just released Follow Me: A Call to Die, A Call to Live.

 

In this powerful video message from Urbana 2012 Missions Conference, David demonstrates the worth of Jesus that propels us into the world making His worth known to the ends of the earth. He paints a picture of Jesus as a man who's not asking for part of our lives, but our whole lives. As men, we don't respond to his radical call because it's easy, but because he is worthy of our trust, our plans and dreams, and our affections. "Far too many of us have reduced Him to a poor, puny savior who's just begging for us to accept Him into our hearts" and we have deluded what it means to be His disciple in the world.

The Soul of Steve Jobs
Whether one liked or disliked Steve Jobs, he is certainly one of the most talked-about leaders of our time. In his 56-year life, he founded and ultimately led a business organization to a commanding position in the world of technology. He assembled and led teams that produced some of the most admired technological products of our time: Mac Books, iPods, iPhones, iPads. Whole industries came into being because of him.

But Steve Jobs also had many critics. "He mistreated people." "He was ruthless in his business dealings." "He was vindictive." "He lacked compassion." And that's just the light stuff.

We all know that Steve Jobs was not a professing Christian. While he respected Jesus, he walked away from Christianity at an early age-at least in its organized and doctrinal form. READ MORE
