C.H. Spurgeon's Evening Devotional

"The Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins."-Matthew 9:6
    
    Behold one of the great Physician's mightiest arts: He has power to forgive sin! While here He lived below, before the ransom had been paid, before the blood had been literally sprinkled on the mercy-seat, He had power to forgive sin. Hath He not power to do it now that He hath died? What power must dwell in Him who to the utmost farthing has faithfully discharged the debts of His people! He has boundless power now that He has finished transgression and made an end of sin. If ye doubt it, see Him rising from the dead! behold Him in ascending splendour raised to the right hand of God! Hear Him pleading before the eternal Father, pointing to His wounds, urging the merit of His sacred passion! What power to forgive is here! "He hath ascended on high, and received gifts for men." "He is exalted on high to give repentance and remission of sins." The most crimson sins are removed by the crimson of His blood. At this moment, dear reader, whatever thy sinfulness, Christ has power to pardon, power to pardon thee, and millions such as thou art. A word will speak it. He has nothing more to do to win thy pardon; all the atoning work is done. He can, in answer to thy tears, forgive thy sins today, and make thee know it. He can breathe into thy soul at this very moment a peace with God which passeth all understanding, which shall spring from perfect remission of thy manifold iniquities. Dost thou believe that? I trust thou believest it. Mayst thou experience now the power of Jesus to forgive sin! Waste no time in applying to the Physician of souls, but hasten to Him with words like these:-
    
    "Jesus! Master! hear my cry;
    Save me, heal me with a word;
    Fainting at Thy feet I lie,
    Thou my whisper'd plaint hast heard."

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,
