What is DEEPER?
Parents, this video was made to explain to you what the deeper ministry is all about.  We want to help you understand what deeper's purpose is and how we are trying to accomplish this purpose.  Hopefully this will be informative for you and you can play a part in encouraging (not making) your child to be involved this year.  I would love to hear any feedback or if you have any questions about the deeper ministry.  May the Lord bless you and continue to give you grace as you raise your student to be a follower of Christ!  Enjoy watching.

Applying God’s Word to my media choices:
Here is an entry from New Attitude's blog with question and answers with Bob Kauflin, the lead worshiper at Covenant Life Church (affiliated with C.J. Mahaney's ministry) about our choices of the media with which we surround ourselves.  We need to make sure we are applying the Word to all areas of our lives and that includes our media choices.  Usually we will determine what we will watch or listen to based on whether it is "Christian" - well, I don't think that is enough. This article is helpful as we continue to learn how to apply God's Word to all areas of our lives.

I am always looking for help in doing family worship or family devotions or whatever you want to call it. I came across this interview with Dr. Tom Ascol pastor at Grace Baptist Church in Florida that was refreshing and encouraging.  Read it here.
