What Christian standards does the film convey?
Examples of glory and honour and thanks to God

Cross Connection Music Is The Soundtrack Of Our Lives!Each week on "Cross Connection" we play a secular song from the 60's & 70's that has either Christian lyrics or principles directly related to the Scriptures. We then discuss the author and/or artist(s) and the song.We look into the lyrics of each song - relating it to the time in which it was originally played on the radio and what, if any, meaning it has today.We make a "Cross Connection" to each song and relate the lyrics to the "timeless" principles taught in God's word.

Want to dig deep What is true? Lucia Laubscher Deep diving into the Word of God. Many believe Christianity is a religion of simply accepting Jesus as your Saviour and continuing to live your life in contrast to His Word. Is this true? Is the Word of God still applicable to the lives of Christians today? What is the Spiritual intent of the Law of God and how can we apply it to our lives? Does modern or progressive Christianity match up with the original Christianity of the Apostles and Christ Himself? I deep dive into the truths contained in the most well known, yet most misunderstood and misquoted book in the world.
