For various reasons, this promises to be very interesting indeed. On March 27th, it will be in 550 theaters. Glenn Beck has the first five minutes posted here.

Lewiston Church Plant
As some of you, a few weeks ago Christ Church began a church planting endeavor in Lewiston, Idaho. If you know of anybody in that area who needs a church home, please let them know. Joe Rosales is the pastor of All Souls Church there, and I wanted to let you know some of the …
