C.H. Spurgeon's Evening Devotional

"There brake He the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle."-Psalm 76:3
    
    Our Redeemer's glorious cry of "It is finished," was the death-knell of all the adversaries of His people, the breaking of "the and the battle." Behold the hero of Golgotha using His cross as an anvil, and His woes as a hammer, dashing to shivers bundle after bundle of our sins, those poisoned "arrows of the bow"; trampling on every indictment, and destroying every accusation. What glorious blows the mighty Breaker gives with a hammer far more ponderous than the fabled weapon of Thor! How the diabolical darts fly to fragments, and the infernal bucklers are broken like potters' vessels! Behold, He draws from its sheath of hellish workmanship the dread sword of Satanic power! He snaps it across His knee, as a man breaks the dry wood of a fagot, and casts it into the fire. Beloved, no sin of a believer can now be an arrow mortally to wound him, no condemnation can now be a sword to kill him, for the punishment of our sin was borne by Christ, a full atonement was made for all our iniquities by our blessed Substitute and Surety. Who now accuseth? Who now condemneth? Christ hath died, yea rather, hath risen again. Jesus has emptied the quivers of hell, has quenched every fiery dart, and broken off the head of every arrow of wrath; the ground is strewn with the splinters and relics of the weapons of hell's warfare, which are only visible to us to remind us of our former danger, and of our great deliverance. Sin hath no more dominion over us. Jesus has made an end of it, and put it away for ever. O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end. Talk ye of all the wondrous works of the Lord, ye who make mention of His name, keep not silence, neither by day, nor when the sun goeth to his rest. Bless the Lord, O my soul.

What's in the Bible? with Buck Denver by Phil Vischer


From the creator of VeggieTales, Phil Vischer. Phil is now taking your kids through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation in this series. I was honored to be able to review Vol. 1-3 of this series. Each DVD is filled with original music, animation, and puppets that will teach kids about God and His Word. My personal opionion I never could get into Veggie Tales. I just couldn't get into seeing vegetables talking and all.

Your child will meet:
  • Buck Denver
  • Bro. Louie
  • Captain Pete, the Pirate
  • Pastor Paul
  • The Sunday School Lady
  • Chuckwagon, the Cowboy
  • Clide & Ein
  • a Scientist
  • Bentley brothers
  • and more
These characters are quite cute muppet type characters. Dialog takes place between the characters and Mr. Phil ; reminded me alot of "Christian Sesame Street". Each episode is divided into two 25-30 minutes viewing sessions. I believe I'll add these to our Church library for others to check out and use.

What's in the Bible? Vol. 1: In the Beginning introduces kids to the Bible and the book of beginnings, Genesis. Kids will learn about the key people in Genesis and the important lessons their stories teach us. This DVD includes bonus short Quacky's Questions: What Is Kindness? Closed captions. Approx. 56 minutes.



What's in the Bible? Vol. 2: Let My People Go! introduces kids to the book of Exodus: the oppression of the Israelites and the birth and rise of God's chosen leader, Moses. The DVD also answers the questions, Who choose the books in the Bible? and What is salvation? - in a way kids can grasp. Includes bonus short Alfred Wilberwale: A Case for Patience. Closed captions. Approximately 58 minutes.


In What’s In the Bible? #3: Wanderin’ in the Desert, Buck Denver and his cast of friends take us through the next three books of the Bible—Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy—helping kids understand how these books fit in with Genesis and Exodus to make up the Pentateuch and to set the stage for the trials and victories of God’s people. The question “Did this stuff really happen?” is also answered. Closed captions. Approx. 58 minutes.



Phil Vischer

In 1990, 24-year-old computer animator Phil Vischer sat down to create a group of characters that could teach Christian values to kids in a delightfully weird way. Hence, a tomato named Bob and a cucumber named Larry were born. VeggieTales would go on to revolutionize Christian filmmaking, selling more than 50 million videos and placing Phil's faith-filled stories in one in every three American households with young children. Phil is highly respected by key leaders across the Christian landscape, from Joel Osteen to James Dobson. His company, Jellyfish Labs, provides faith-based daily programming via the Internet at jellytelly.com. The characters from the What's in the Bible? series are featured, but the content is not specifically from the DVDs. Phil continues to pursue innovative ways to integrate faith and storytelling through Jellyfish Labs. He chose the name Jellyfish as a reminder to remain pliable to God's plans and not his own. Phil lives with his wife, Lisa, and their three kids in Illinois.

    What a fabulous fun Biblical education for children. These would be such wonderful descriptions of how God loves you for my grandchildren and great-grandchildren to watch. I'd be right there with them....with my eyes glued to the screen. Thanks for learning about this great author.

    Grace & Joy thru Christ,
