Lyrics of the Week


I just had a shocking experience. I just previewed two of the crudest music videos I have ever seen. The first is "Just A Lil' Bit" by 50 Cent, the other is by Eminem, "A—Like That." These two videos are the fastest rising songs on the charts today and will probably be the "songs of the summer of 2005." Click here to read the lyrics to Just A Lil' Bit and here for the lyrics to A—Like That. You can then click on the link on our site to watch their videos. It is not a fun experience but I believe parents should be aware of the popular entertainment that is bombarding our kids. Please be in prayer for our children, we can't lose this war.
Guest Editorial
My good friend Jonathon McKee, has a wonderful ministry and website for youth leaders called THE SOURCE FOR YOUTH WORKERS at this link: www.thesource4ym.com. Not only does he have wonderful insight and resources for youth leaders, he writes challenging articles parents and leaders. I love his most recent: Why My 12-year-old Can See Rated 'R'... but Not PG! You may not agree with him, but I guarantee it will make you think!
Notes & Quotes

Teen Media

How much time does your child spend with today’s entertainment media? Is your child above or below the average? I think that you will be surprised by findings from the Kaiser and Gallup researches.
Hot News
Cinderella Man starring Russell Crowe and Renée Zellweger is a great new movie that the whole family over 13 years-old can enjoy. I am certain that it will receive many Academy Award nominations for acting and writing. "It isn't a "Christian movie," but the values and morals Christians believe in are highly encouraged and openly promoted. This is a rare movie where the whole family over 13 years-old can enjoy, be entertained and be encouraged. Go see it and let me know what you think.
Article About Our Christian Music Diet

Churches, Christian schools, and youth groups have been encouraging their youth and parents to take our "Christian Music Diet Challenge." I thought that you might want to read what the Modesto Bee had to say about Living FullTilt in their BUZZZ section for teens from May 26, 2005.
Dear Friend of Al Menconi Ministries,
We have heard from many wondering if they missed our weekly email updates. Because all our time and energy is being channeled into our rebuilding our website, we haven’t been able to send these emails weekly. We want you to continue visiting our website www.AlMenconi.com as we continue posting new material and articles while we are in the rebuilding process. This is a major undertaking for such a small ministry and if you have been encouraged by our work and website, would you consider helping us with a generous tax-deductible gift to our ministry? Click here. Even if you aren’t able to help us financially at this time, please keep us in your prayers that God will continue to use us to help parents communicate values to their children.
 
 
FTMC

Our Full Tilt Media Challenge(FTMC) is a 30-day program based on Colossians 2:8 and is designed to help you see entertainment in the same way I now see fattening food. One compromise leads to another and another and another. It will eventually affect us. Read More!

Another testimonial on the impact of the FTMC...

"I found the FTMC to be greatly informative. As a Youth Pastor, I found a lot of things that I am able to pass on to the youth and I highly recommend this diet to all who have been entrusted with the youth of today. It will help you inform and educate these young men and women in the area of todays entertainment.

I finished the 30 days series and would not have missed a day! I consider it a very valuable and priceless tool to effectively reach teens with the message about the dangers of the media. The links that allow me to find an alternative to what the secular world offers was a positive impact for me." The ChristEd from WaKeeney, KS
