RHONDA’S PICKS are specially selected Christian movies and music appropriate for members of our audience. This quarter’s Picks are two Christian movies and New Music.

God’s Not Dead

God’s Not Dead revolves around the assignment of Philosophy Professor Raddison (Kevin Sorbo). Bitter from adverse situations that have occurred in his life, Professor Raddison gives his students an unusual assignment.  Each students is given a test paper and instructed to write God is Dead. Student Josh Wheaton (Shane Harper) refuses. Due to this refusal he is assigned the task of proving the existence of God. Through a series of classroom debates with Professor Radisson, Josh skillfully and confidently defends his faith by clearly disputing the arguments presented by Philosphers throughout history.

Throughout the film we are given a glimpse into the lives of individuals who are wrestling with their faith or lack thereof. From the Muslim to the Buddhist to the Agnostic and Atheist, people are forced to examine their stance on the issue. Do I believe? Why do I believe? Who do I believe? What do I believe? These are the very same questions we all must answer daily.

In the face of possibly losing everything you have strived to attain, will you boldly proclaim, “GOD’S NOT DEAD”?

“For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:” Job 19:25

NEW MUSIC

William McDowell – Sounds of Revival

“We need your Spirit pouring out on us, Oh God we need revival stirring up oh God, We just want You!”

Psalmist William McDowell has just released his 4^th Gospel project entitled, “Sounds of Revival”. The artist who brought us “I Give Myself Away” exhorts us to invoke the presence of God for revival in our personal lives so that it may then overtake the Body of Christ as a whole. For it is through the presence of God that the promises of God are manifested. He boldly declares,”It Is So!”

Walking in his prophetic gifting, once again William McDowell has released an album which speaks to the current position of the Body of Christ. In a time of chaos, we are called to implore for the “Spirit to Break Out” like a rushing wind. He reminds us that sometimes we have to sit before the Lord and declare that, “I Don’t Mind Waiting”. We rest in the assurance that Jesus will show up, and “When He Walks into the Room” a shift must take place. So as we cry out Lord, “Send the Rain”, we wait expectantly for a harvest understanding that “Rain Only Matters” to those who have seed in the ground.

So….sow a good seed everybody. Sow the seeds of worship, obedience, and love and watch the harvest of God overtake you!
