SPIDERMAN 3
& THE BATTLE WITH IN

Hey Guys and Gals don't Forget that next week, May 4th, S.A.L.T. is going to see SPIDER MAN 3, Yeah Baby!!!! The cost will be full price $9.50 for the movie. Tickets will be preordered, so I need to know if you are going by Wednesday the 2nd which Will be OUR KICK OFF NIGHT OF SALT WEDNESDAY NIGHTS!!!!!! We will be meeting at Magnolia movie theater in Coral Springs at 6:30, to beat the lines and to get the best seats. Invite your friends out, and make sure that you dont miss this one.

Now a couple of questions for you guys to consider before we go see this movie, Ok, from reading this comic book growing up, I know that "Venom" a new "entity" is introduced in this episode of the Spiderman saga. Its an alien substance/creature that melds it self to Peter Paker, becomes one with him and after some time begins to controll his thoughts and emtions to a certain extent. Which is bad becasue the Nature of "Venom" is evil and we are going to see SpiderMan do some pretty questionable things that are not common to his character in this installment of the series. HMMMM.....How is this similar to us? If we belive we are good people, want to do good things, then why is it that we still do Bad things? If we are Christians, why is it that there's a battle with in us, that wars against the things that God wants us to do? Why is it that this thing inside of us, fights for us to do what "We" want, and what the "World" would have us do, say, and act?
See Like this picture of our friendly neighborhood "Spidey" in Spiderman 3, We War against our Sinful natures that would have us follow every thing that would give us pleasure and false satisfaction. Paul said it in Romans 7:15-25"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do–this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God–through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin."
See even Paul the apostle who wrote more than half of the new testament was going through the same thing we face each and every day, this war against our Godly Spirit and Our Sinful Flesh. The things we want to do (being the Good and Godly Things) we dont do, but the things that we do(the evil and sinful things) we do. So where does this leave us? Well this is an open forum and I want you guys to keep reading Romans chapter 8, iespecially the first six verses. What is Paul telling us here? How have we over come this sinful nature? How will this contrast or even be similar to what happens to Spiderman? These are some questions to get your minds thinking and hopefully sharing with others. Hit the comments Link below to leave your answers, and your questions should you have any. Until next post I love you guys and Godbless.

Here are just a few reviews for you to sink your teeth into.

1) The film had already been in the national news when the MPAA gave Giants a PG rating instead of a G. Initial reports claimed that the MPAA cited the film's proselytizing as the reason, but the MPAA soon said it was for other "thematic" reasons.

2) Giants is one of those rare films in which Christian faith is presented as a positive thing—a rare treat for Christians who get tired of seeing themselves portrayed as buffoons or villains.

3) The journey of making Giants—by a Baptist church in Georgia—is an inspiring tale. Giants was funded by Christians, put together by volunteers, and looks impressive considering its low budget.

4) Giants follows in a long line of sports-related films that inspire audiences with a David-and-Goliath story; audiences love a tale of underdogs who overcome the odds.

Hey SALT get your posts in

Prison Break- a popular hit T.V. show, that has taken America by storm. The redeeming story of one brother who intentionally commits a crime to get into prison, to rescue his brother from facing the death penalty for a crime that he didnt commit. Very noble, commendable, even by our standards. A brother who is willing to put his life on hold, willing entering a world of degenerates, and lowlifes, as one person put it the "worst of the society" to rescue his brother. I think the reason many like this show is becasue they wish to believe that if they were in the same situation they would hope that someone, would do the same thing for them. We all wish that someone would put their lives on the line to help us, rescue us, to break us out of prison should we need it. Especially if we were unjustly accused and sentenced to a life inprisonment or even worst a death sentence. Well someone already has, and did, and the most amazing thing about it is that we weren't innocent, we were guilty, Guilty as charged.

How could this be? Its simple, see it all began in the beggining. Adam and Eve, yes those two, whose pictures we always see with fig leaves covering their privates. It was them, but then again it was all of us, any one of us in that situation, would have would have done it. Done what you ask? Well you see they lived in paradise, they walked with God, had a relationship with God that we can only dream of. God created all this, the world, and everything in it for them, and all they had to do was follow one simple rule, not to eat fruit from the "Tree". See in the middle of Paradise was a tree, and they were commanded not to eat of it. They could have the fruit from every other tree in pradise except for that one. Sounds like a good deal right, one tree no, all the rest yes. So to make a long story short(if you want to dive deeper read Genensis 1-3) they both decide to eat from that one tree disobeying God and sinning agaist him. So what happened, well a wise person once said to me once that we all are a sum of all of our choices, and every one else's choices as well. To sum it up, the choice that Adam and Eve made to eat of that tree has been felt through out all of humanity. Original Sin. Because of the choice they made, and again I say they but we can all interchange they, for we, you , me, because again I stress, that all of us in that situation would have made the same choice too, but because of that choice Adam and Eve made we all are guilty, we all have sinned, and we all have a consequence to pay for that Sin. In essence, we were thrown in to prison awaiting a death sentence. Why? Cause the wages of sin is DEATH, it says it in Romans.

So we are awaiting this death sentence, sort of like the brother who got frame in the T.V. show Prison Break. The only difference is that he was innocent, and we are Guilty!!!

So who is the one who will put his life on the line for us, who is the brother who will willingly get imprisoned to break us out. Well check out my next post as I will get into detail about it or you could visit S.A.L.T. youth group on Fridays over the next four weeks as we will be covering the most amazing prison break story in history. The most mind boggling thing is that its still going on today.
