When they finished watching, they were both crying and they both accepted Christ into their lives. I would definitely recommend this movie!" Fireproof tugs on heartstrings...and touches heartbreaking realities in marriages. If you are hurting, we encourage you to contact your church or us here at The Lighthouse for help and resources!

Come What May

I just watched the DVD "Come What May" last night. I was critiquing it for both the quality and the content. As a group of homeschoolers attempting their first movie, it was not an easy topic to tackle. At times the angles and camera shots were a little off, but that got better as the movie progressed. I also felt that way about the acting. Their characters became more realistic as they went along. I was impressed with a few things: 1-honestly tackling the issue of when live begins. 2-admitting that even as Christians we struggle to do what is right, when the outcome is not clearly in our favor. 3-showing that even in marriages and families you don't always agree, but love is forever. 4-purity was exemplified and explained in a way that didn't seem archaic and prudish, but beautiful and desirable. Personally I thought the message was clear and needed in our culture today. Each person is a gift to be cherished, from the moment of conception on. Do the right thing. Come what may! Watch "Come What May" and tell me what you think! -Cindy

CD Review: New Group REVIVE

CD "Revive: Chorus of the Saints" available at The Lighthouse
The band Revive officially got together in the (Australian) summer of 2004, after playing local churches and schools for the better part of 2003. They had been having a lot of fun doing these smaller shows, but began seeing that perhaps there was something more to this band than they had originally thought. In July 2004, they released their first full album as Revive titled Where I Belong. With more offers coming in, it was getting difficult to balance work/university with the band commitments, so in January 2006, the boys took the leap of faith and went full time Revive! It is often said that God uses those willing to be used – and they quickly found out that this was indeed true for them. Mac Powell (Third Day) produced the debut release Chorus Of The Saints, coming out March 10, 2009. Through its music, Revive is about ministry and reminding people of the message in Psalm 85. “It says, ‘He will revive their hearts.’ We love that,” says lead singer Dave Hanbury. “We want people to be refreshed, like what our name means, to be revived. It would be great if someone would listen to “Chorus of the Saints”, and feel like they could walk closer with the Lord.”The album starts with the first single and title song “Chorus Of The Saints” which is about God’s faithfulness and opening our eyes to the beauty of God .“This is the chorus of the saints singing Hallelujah our God is faithful”. The album flows nicely into the next two songs “Can’t Change Yesterday” and “The Truth Is” that both feature a gentle reminder and rebuke “But the Truth is”, a biblical phrase used by Jesus: “I tell you the truth”. Both songs are about finding our peace and hope and trust to God. The song “You Know”, sung with Mac Powell, is my favorite song on the album. The song is based on Matthew 6:25 and is a wonderful prayer to God that we don’t need to worry, God knows and loves us. “There is nothing in my life You haven’t known”.The message of all of the songs are hope-filled and are catchy, uplifting and biblical. Another theme in the songs “Don’t Look Anywhere Else” and “You’re All I Need”, is that both are about finding meaning, life and peace in our relationship with God. I like every single song on the album and the closer “Promise of Tomorrow” is a great alternative rock style song with a cool vibe and style that reminded me of After Edmund, one of my favorite new bands. Closing Thoughts:This is my favorite new album of the year from a great new band that I expect to be nominated for Best New Artist. If you like Rush of Fools and Tenth Avenue North, then you’ll enjoy Revive. Review by Kevin Davis of Christian Music Review

Ministry Opportunity

Jesscott Music Ministries in Hudson Falls is expanding into new territory with the formation of Fairview Lane Promotions, which will handle the booking and promotion duties of the ministry. They are looking for people who would like be a part of this new venture. Owner/founder Paul Gibbs says, “We’re stepping out in faith, putting this in God’s Hands. And we trust Him for the resources we need to make this a success.”

The ministry needs 2-3 individuals who would like to come on board and help launch this new endeavor. Qualifications include first and foremost a desire to, as the Jesscott Music Ministries’ motto states, “Spread God’s Word, Through His Gift Of Music”. Musical experience or ability is not required, however. What are needed are good communication skills with telephone and email, and a consistent 2-3 hours 1 or 2 days a week available (mornings are best). Compensation will be either hourly, by commission, or a combination of both. This is a great opportunity for someone who would like to work from home most of the time, with occasional visits to the ministry office and studio at the Gibbs’ home in Hudson Falls.

If God is calling you to find out more about this opportunity to be a part of a growing ministry, call Paul Gibbs at 518-747-8601 or email info@jesscottmusic.com today!

New book review! The Love Dare by Alex & Stephen Kendrick
Reviewed by Deena Peterson on TitleTrakk.com
"The Love Dare shoves the business aside and brings Christ back to the focus..."
Not all of you have seen the movie Fireproof, but I have this uncanny notion that you HAVE heard about a small book, featured in the film, that's sweeping churches across the nation.
I'm here to let you know--it's WORTH the hype! "The Love Dare" is a project created by brothers Stephen and Alex Kendrick, the creators of "Flywheel", "Facing the Giants", and "Fireproof".
In the movie, Caleb receives a journal from his father, called The Love Dare. In it, Caleb is challenged to love his wife for the next 40 days, following the Biblically based counsel on each day in the book.
The interest was so high in such a book, the Kendrick brothers found themselves creating a book about a fictional element in the movie! What came from that interest is a devotional book that can revolutionize any marriage if the two involved will allow it.
Each day has a devotional reading, then an assignment. The tasks range from restraining from any negative comments for a day, to doing something for your spouse that says "I was thinking of you today".
Nothing in this book is extraordinary...it's merely practical teaching on how we should live as husbands and wives according to Scripture. The Kendrick brothers cite Scripture on each day, and I found it to be sound and wise counsel.
"The Love Dare" has the look and feel of a journal handed down from generation to generation, just like we see in the movie. I'm excited about the potential of this book, as used by God's Spirit, to change marriages in our churches today. No matter how good your marriage is, can't it always grow to be better? I have a fantastic marriage, but my husband and I are busy people. "The Love Dare" shoves the business aside and brings Christ back to the focus, which in turn helps us love one another better.
I highly recommend this unique and valuable resource to spouses, couples, ministry groups, and pastors. I'm giving "The Love Dare" the golden bookmark, with a golden heart as a charm."
Get your copy today at The Lighthouse, on sale, for only $11.00. Begin it tomorrow...and watch as God changes your marriage into what He's wanted it to be all along.

Princess Party

Calling all princesses ages 4-8!! Come to a Princess Party, here at The Lighthouse, on Saturday, March 28 from 2:3:30pm! See a "Gigi, God's Little Princess" DVD. Complete an art project, have Princess Cupcakes and lots more FUN! Space is limited so you must sign up to attend. Please call 761-9658 for reservation! Hope see you and your little princess.

Come What May

We are getting excited about this DVD. It really looks interesting. The heart of the movie is about the sanctity of life. This film will challenge viewers to look at the question, "When does life really begin?" The Biblical answer is obvious; Psalm 139:13-16. Is the legal? Watch the trailer. Begin to think about the message this DVD is trying to deliver, and who you might touch with it. Be watching for the DVD to release later this month!
