Winning the War of Ideas

At our small group last week we watched this video on this topic and it was real good. Covered some good things. So thought i'd share some quotes from it:

'The root of our moral crisis is a crisis in our core ideas about life.'

'If you can get enough people to believe an idea, it will change the whole course of their society and culture.'

'...it has been on the plane of ideas that the secularization of culture began, and its only by a change of ideas that it can be reversed.'

'A value is whatever you hold to be more important than your own feelings.'

Isn't this the case with NZ (and every other Western nation)? I think so. Our culture is fast becoming more secularised and Christianity-rejecting with every passing day. The last two quotes there are also relevant with the leadup to our election. Which is now only 12 days away folks.

R'n'R
Yay i can finally enjoy some proper rest n relaxation (no not rock n roll :P) without feeling guilty heh. B/c i handed in my Geography assignment today, glad thats outta the way. Can enjoy the rest of my break now.

Links worth checking out
Today i visited Third Day's site and came across a song they've just written called 'Cry out to Jesus'. They wrote it in regard to the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina and those affected by it. You can download it for free (after registering first). Its real nice.

For those interested in the Narnia soundtrack, you can listen to samples of the songs by different Christian aritsts on there, by going to http://www.narniafans.com/movies/mov_st.php. Can't wait for it to be released :)
