The Importance of Family
Just came across
this quite interesting article on the Ministry of Social Development's website, while I was researching an essay topic for my Geography paper (which is on international migration, not family). I only skim read a bit of bit but yeah check it out. I think it will come in handy as a reference for when I write an essay for my Sociology paper - we have several topics to choose from and im doing mine on the Family. We have to find an article on the NZ Herald website between May 06 and April 07 that relates to issues surrounding the family in some way eg the anti-smacking bill. But we also have to argue it from a sociological perspective heh.
Anyway better get back to the research, oh the joy...
Jesus Paid It All
I came across this pretty cool song (great lyrics & easy tune) on the Passion 06 dvd I bought recently from Manna. Its a dvd that has coverage of this Christian conference called 'Passion' which happens annually in January in different places in the southern US. Anyways the dvd includes 10 songs sung live (as well as talks from John Piper and some others) and one of them is this one by this new Christian artist -Kristian Stanfill- who wrote the following song:
Jesus Paid It AllI hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”
Chorus:Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.
(Chorus)And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
"Jesus died my soul to save"
my lips shall still repeat
(Chorus)Bridge:O Praise the One who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
O Praise the One who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
(repeat)
We'll praise the One who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
Jesus
