Do you ever doubt your salvation? Do you ever wonder, "Am I real or am I just going through the motions?--am I really born again?" I do. It may not be comforting to you for you to hear a pastor say that.

A while back a friend of mine at another church posted an article on this important topic of being a discerning partaker of films. Read it...it is good.

After writing what I did last night, I awoke to read these short thoughts by John Piper on the Desiring God website .

In Romans chapter 7, Paul talks about the division he feels in himself as a Christian. At one point he says (vv 22-23), "For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members."

With summer around the corner, it won't be long until our routines are disrupted. School is out. The sun is out. There are vacations to take. Things get turned upside down for awhile. How do we keep our faith right side up in the midst of these temporary disruptions?
