Sons of Georgia Film Project

  As you know, we had the privilege of working on the Sons of Georgia Film project this summer. I thought I would pass along to you (some of whom are waiting for it to come out:) some prayer requests pertaining to the film. Coveting your prayers! I would also add that the Littmanns would do well in presenting the film project at the SAIFF in February. Thank you!

1.    The composers will be able to complete the music in February and that it would be dynamic, beautiful and moving. 2.    Complete filming and editing of the Behind the Scene interviews. 3.    The recording of the theme song by Jordan Jackson and the McCardie brothers would sound awesome.   4.    The tweaking of the final edit would be aesthetically done. 5.    The artwork for the DVD label and case insert would look professional. 6.    The duplication would go well. 7.   For the Lord’s blessings on the premiere showing. 8.    The Lord will provide a way for all the cast and crew to make it for the premiere. 9.    The Lord would be glorified in the film! We whole heartily thank each one of you for your contributions to the SOG project!!! Warmly, The Littmann Family

Acting on Principle....

 There are so many intelligent Americans~far more so than the secular news would give credit for. It seems that the current political climate is drawing the voice of many of these people forward. I stand amazed sometimes when I read the 'comment' section on a news post. These are not necessarily 'Christian' people either. So how much more so ,should God fearing, Christian people act on principle?
  By 'acting on principle' I mean ; Making decisions based on what is right and not on circumstance or what is convenient. My how we need more principled men, and women, in America today...if America is going to stay...America.
  In our home, we teach our children that, our government is made up of the people in our home....outlandish? Not really~ individuals make up families, families make up communities, communities make up the states that are part of our great nation. Therefore, the people in gov't are the people in our homes. That tells me that the condition of the govt is contingent on the condition of the hearts of the individuals in our homes. Is that over-simplified? Maybe:) So what is the solution?
  Of course it is to raise principled people in our homes. First of all that will entail having clean hands and a pure heart before the Lord ourselves,( no great task begins easy), then imparting truth to our children and teaching them how to make decisions based on principle.
  We must teach our children to choose what is right...even if it doesn't benefit them personally. We need to teach them that getting something for 'free', often comes with a very great price.
  One doesn't need to be 'born again' to be a principled person probably, however...living by principle requires MUCH fruit of the Spirit. Self denial, self sacrifice and considering one another ahead of yourself,patience, self control...and many more qualities which are primarily reserved for those who call upon the name of the Lord in wisdom and in truth.
  May the Lord give us grace and wisdom to raise principled people for His glory and for the advancement of His Kingdom.

A Cheap easy Christianity

(J.C. Ryle, "The Cost!")
"Any of you who does not give up everything he has, cannot be My disciple." Luke 14:33

What does it cost to be a Christian?

I grant freely that it costs little to be a mere outward Christian. A man has only got to attend a place of worship twice on Sunday, and to be tolerably moral during the week--and he has gone as far as thousands around him ever go in religion. All this is cheap and easy work--it entails no self-denial or self-sacrifice. If this is saving Christianity and will take us to Heaven when we die--we must alter the description of the way of life, and write, "Wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to Heaven!"

But it does cost something to be a real Christian, according to the standard of the Bible. There are . . .
  enemies to be overcome,
  battles to be fought,
  sacrifices to be made,
  an Egypt to be forsaken,
  a wilderness to be passed through,
  a cross to be carried,
  a race to be run.
Conversion is not putting a man in a soft armchair, and taking him pleasantly to Heaven. It is the beginning of a mighty conflict, in which it costs much to win the victory. Hence arises the unspeakable importance of "counting the cost."

True Christianity will cost a man . . .
  his self-righteousness,
  his sins,
  his love of ease, and
  the favor of the world.

A religion which costs nothing--is worth nothing!

A cheap, easy Christianity, without a cross--will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown!
