The Giving DVD – Final filming<\/strong><\/h1>\n

We are preparing to film the last portion of The Giving<\/em> DVD project. The full title is The Giving A Balanced view of The Sovereignty of God<\/em>. The subject of the DVD is John 6 with the hard sayings of Jesus that seem to teach that Jesus did not die for everyone. Was Judas predestined to be lost? Did God guarantee the salvation of a group of people including John the Baptist? This video tackles the controversial topics that have caused a split in the church today. The video brings a biblically strong and balanced view, yet with gentleness and respect for the opposition.<\/p>\n

The DVD will present a positive rendering of John 6 and several sections on God’s election and predestination. There is also a powerful section on the subject of eternal damnation and the character of God. Included is a video review of popular teachers who \u00a0advocate the opposing Calvinist viewpoint. In another segment there are answers to key Calvinist’s objections from the context of John 6. \u00a0Lastly, there is an interview with a Reformed theologian.<\/p>\n

This project is a massive undertaking that we have been working on for several years. We are very excited that the final filming has been scheduled. The project was on hold for a long time while we were fighting cancer.<\/p>\n
