Today we shared ‘who knew?’ facts about the BibleProject, a great resource for your reading or sharing of the word. Their mission? “BibleProject is a nonprofit animation studio that produces short-form, fully animated Bible videos and other Bible resources to make the biblical story accessible to everyone, everywhere.”
Don was our trivia winner today, correctly guessing that the BibleProject has done 10+ videos in 18 languages! He wins the $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup.
Today we shared two updates from two of our favorite artists, Tauren Wells and for King and Country!
Wells will be hosting a discussion about faith, life and culture – it’s a ticketed event – you can learn more about it from JesusFreakHideout.com by clicking here.
Today’s Monday Motivation includes a reminder about our need for God from Pastor David Platt and Peter Chin’s devotional from Our Daily Bread, called ‘Not Second Rate.” Click here to read it.
In his book, Radical, Platt writes, “In the gospel, God reveals the depth of our need for him. He shows us that there is absolutely nothing we can do to come to him. We can’t manufacture Salvation…we can’t program Salvation…and we can’t produce Salvation. We can’t even initiate it.”
“God has to open our eyes, set us free, overcome our evil and come to us. This is the beauty of the gospel.” He did come to us, in the person of Jesus!
As long as you and I understand Salvation as a “checking off of boxes” to get to God, we will find ourselves in this meaningless sea of world religions that actually condemn the human race by exalting our supposed ability to get to God. On the other hand, when you and I realize that we are dead in sin and deserving of God’s wrath, with no way out on our own, we begin to discover our desperate need for Christ.
Our understanding of who God is (and who we are) dramatically affects our understanding of who Christ is and why we need him.

Maverick City Music f/Chandler Moore – Man of Your Word
Who knew that the original ‘frappe’ (yes, pronounced frap-PAY) was developed by a Greek man in Thessolaniki – the same city that inspired Paul’s letters in I and II Thessalonians??
The invention almost happened by accident in 1957 – a Greek man, working for Nestle, was looking to make a cup of coffee, but couldn’t find any hot water. So, since the company was demonstrating an instant powder for chocolate milk (probably Nestle Quik), he tried the same thing with instant coffee, ice and milk, using a shaker.
Frappe may be a Greek invention, but it is a French word, meaning simply a drink filled with ice.
Congratulations to David from Fredericktown – he got the answer right to our trivia question – the company involved, Nestle – and wins the $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup.
Have you ever seen a sign like this? At a zoo? A park?
Our Monday Motivation today focuses on the let’s say…um…difficult folks we might find on social media or internet forums. It’s from Monica Brands and called “Don’t Feed the Trolls.” Click here to read it from Our Daily Bread.

Today we shared some significant September 30th moments in Major League Baseball:
1947: The World Series begins. The first to be televised, the first to feature an African-American player (Jackie Robinson) and the first to feature a pinch-hit home run.
1972: Roberto Clemente gets his 3,000th career hit against the Mets. It would be his last, as the Pirates’ future Hall of Famer dies in a plane crash on New Year’s Eve while flying relief supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua.
1995: The Indians’ Albert Belle becomes the first MLB player to hit 50 home runs and 50 doubles in the same season. He does this in a 143-game shortened season. (This was also our trivia question to win the $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup).
