Okay, so this edition of Three on Thursday is a little bit of whimsy, a little bit of entertainment and a little bit of seriousness. A three-course meal of sorts.

If you haven’t seen the movie, I don’t think there’s any major spoilers and it might just convince you to see it, which I will add, I would be okay with (just beware that it is rated R, for nudity and some language).

Countering Culture – Steven James
Steven talks about the relative affluence that many of us Christians live in nowadays. We’ve grown up this way, never having to worry that we’ll have everything we need and much of what we want.

Get your ulcer-causing Helicobacter Pylori here
Alright this is a total joke, but I thought it was funny and I’m sure you need a little funny in your day.

This adorable little plush doll is Helicobacter Pylori, the bacteria that causes ulcers, only millions of times bigger!” Also check out Scum. He’s cute.
