I am doing another good plan on the YouVersion Bible app. It is called, “The Goodness of God” by Rob Mcfarlane. I am enjoying the nice reminders every morning.

This film is a perfect introduction to Jesus through the Gospel of Luke. Jesus constantly surprises and confounds people, from His miraculous birth to His rise from the grave. Follow His life through excerpts from the Book of Luke, all the miracles, the teachings, and the passion.
God creates everything and loves mankind. But mankind disobeys God. God and mankind are separated, but God loves mankind so much, He arranges redemption for mankind. He sends his Son Jesus to be a perfect sacrifice to make amends for us. Before Jesus arrives, God prepares mankind. Prophets speak of the birth, the life, and the death of Jesus.
Jesus attracts attention. He teaches in parables no one really understands, gives sight to the blind, and helps those who no one sees as worth helping. He scares the Jewish leaders, they see him as a threat. So they arrange, through Judas the traitor and their Roman oppressors, for the crucifixion of Jesus.
They think the matter is settled. But the women who serve Jesus discover an empty tomb. The disciples panic. When Jesus appears, they doubt He’s real. But it’s what He proclaimed all along: He is their perfect sacrifice, their Savior, victor over death. He ascends to heaven, telling His followers to tell others about Him and His teachings.

I just watched a really good overview of the church councils over the past 2000 years. These councils were called to make decisions on doctrine, heresy, church life and leadership and responding to an ever changing world. The 15 minute video below gives a really good explanation of them all and why they were called.

When I first became a Christian the Refiner’s Fire song was just released. It quickly became a favourite and a prayer of my heart.
I have not heard it for years, but I started singing it during my devotions this morning. Many years later it still speaks to my heart. It is still a prayer for me.
Looking back I can see how it shaped my life. In church I could hardly get through it without crying. Even now it is hard to fully sing it through.

Today I thought I would post about my favourite Christian app I use on my devices. It is the Vision Media app.
I have been using this app for about ten years I guess. I find it really good that I can use it on my phone, in the car and on my tablet.
As you can see from the image above there are four main radio channels. The main Vision channel which has music, news, interviews and devotionals. This is also what plays on the traditional radio. It is 88FM where I live.
The other three channels are V180 channel which is more for teens and young adults, the kids channel for pre-teens, and the worship channel which is worship music with minimal talking.
The app also has a news section that includes normal news and Christian news from around. It has a podcast section with very well known speakers.
There is also a Bible reading section called Soul Food which has a lectionary style reading plan that you can read, or listen to. It has an Old Testament, a Psalm, a New Testament and a Gospel reading.
If you would like to find out more on Vision, you can visit their website here. This has links to the app stores where you can downloads the apps for your device.
