As I mentioned in youth group Dr. Phillips will be speaking Friday night at 8:00 PM on the November 10th. His topic is entitled: "Boundaries and Thresholds: Some Biblical Reflections on Bioethics."

The Best Homework Assignment Ever
For youth group this week we are going to spend some more time reviewing different media (songs, movies, tv shows, books, newspaper articles, etc.) in our culture to determine their worldview and truth implications. For example, last week we looked at the teaser to the Superman Returns movie and how it has the theme of a savior for the world by the only son (Superman) of a father from another world. We saw how this was theistic and what that means.
Your homework assignment is to come up with some ideas of some songs, movies, etc. and post them on this blog. Please post your idea to the blog so that everyone else knows not to choose that same piece. If you have a clip please bring it with you to youth group. Please limit your selections to less than 5 minutes and avoid any material that has explicit content.

Memory Verse for October 19, 2006
Ecclesiastes 3:11 ESV
"He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end."
Our memory verse for this week comes from a very controversial book of the Bible. Solomon was a man of great wisdom. He sought to explore every avenue of life to its fullest and found that every area of life is vanity (empty or meaningless). How can everything be meaningless? Solomon found that all of the activities of life apart from God are futile and empty. Yet he realized that even the most mundane things of life have everlasting consequences because God sees all that we do and will judge us for our deeds both good and evil (Ecclesiastes 12:13). God has given us food, drink, work, and all sorts of activities for our benefit and enjoyment (Ecclesiastes 3:12-13).
Amidst the wisdom of Solomon in Ecclesiastes is our memory verse which tells us that God has put in all of us a sense of eternity. Though we are mortal creatures, our spirits will exist for eternity. It is because of this innate knowledge that all men and women seek after something greater than themselves, even if it leads them to despair. It is our responsibility as Christians to live a life that illuminates the eternal God to our friends and family so they can escape the futility of life without God and instead fear God and live.
