Living In The Last Days



There was a while back a story of how some teens at school were kicked off their basketball or football team because someone tagged them in a photo drinking. It made the news even. 2 Timothy 3 talks about how the Last Days will be seen as terrible times. How people will be lovers of pleasure and everything else but God. When you read it it may surprise you how even at times you find yourself mentioned in the Bible like a tagged photo on myspace or facebook you see yourself in the picture. Some people would deny that they are there, some would say they've simply been caught and try not to the next time, but I hope you see verse 16-17. See this Scripture is really telling us that we need God the more in the Last Days. We can't go on denying His Power but allow His Power to change us.

Some of you are coming experiencing the Last Days of School and The Landing wants to help you keep your summer in focus so we hope that you come out to Braham High School on May 28th for some fun and great music. See you there.

Narnia and YOUth



Coming out the 16th is the new Narnia movie Prince Caspian. Oh and yes we are definitely going to see it on the 17th. In this film once again it brings you back to Narnia an imaginary land of course but although imaginary it brings out things that are true and reality. Truths about who we are and who God is and realities like temptation and how we see God. I was recently in discussion about people who don't believe in the Bible or believe it to be just a bunch of stories. It was asked what to say to those who just don't believe it. We could look at all the proof and the Bible itself which I encourage you to do. We could get into long discussions about what different people believe but here is something I came across and someone once said: That believing or not believing in something doesn't make it true or false. Have you found the Bible to be true. In the words of Kurt Angle former WWE wrestler "It's True, It's True." John writes in the last part of the Gospel that everything written was so that you may believe. I think people are afraid of Bible because of the truth it contains and what it causes a person to believe. It caused Mr. C.S. Lewis to and with out that you wouldn't be able to see this film. Think about that while watching it.

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
C. S. Lewis
