Subtle PG-13 Lies
It's always interesting to see what films draw teenagers. A year ago, Juno was the hottest thing. Last fall it was Twilight. So what film has their attention now?

Last Tuesday a film was released that I predict will be one of the next cult classics of this generation. The film is Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. Like Juno and Twilight, the film has a PG-13 rating. But this is one PG-13 film that has me wondering what the MPAA is smoking.

Zone October Update

For all the new parents to the Zone ministry and for those who've been with us a while, here's a look at what's happening for October. We'll focus on the virtue of "INDIVIDUALITY."

Notes from the Editor - Body Building
Geeks. Jocks. Brainiacs. Skaters. The Pretty Committee. Were you a member of one of these crowds? Maybe you carried a membership in THE group, the one that everyone wanted to join. Interesting, isn’t it, that no matter how old we are when we join a “club,” whether we give it a name or not, that group of people eventually helps us discover who we are or aren’t? We discover our likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, how we are similar and how we stand out, whether we belong to that group or need to move on.

But being an individual is more than just discovering how we are like someone else or different from others—at least for believers it is. Being an individual is also about how our heavenly Father designed us to make a difference in this world. God, the master Architect, has a master plan in which He is weaving together all our character traits and experiences in order to shape and mold us into the people He wants us to become, and He’s doing this with each of us, twining our lives together in ways that are intricate, beautiful, and mind-boggling.

So in October we’ll be talking about individuality, discovering who you are meant to be so you can make a difference. We’ll introduce kids to some not-so-well-known individuals, each of whom made a difference in the lives of people around them:

WEEK 1:
THE Onesimus – because when you belong to God, you can make a difference.
WEEK 2:
THE Epaphroditus – because when you take care of others, you can make a difference.
WEEK 3:
THE Dorcas – because when you use what you have to help others, you can make a difference.

  • Our Inspiration
      Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. Deuteronomy 6:5-9
