“Love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31). The words are easy to say. Christians know the command by heart — the two great purposes: love God and love people. The second one is like the first, as if to mean, that when we love our neighbor, we love God. When we look into the eyes of our neighbor, we see the eyes of Christ. But who is our neighbor? The words are easy to say. To live them, to truly love, is difficult.   A Beautiful Day to Go to the Movies There are few release dates more appropriate than […]

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that,” said Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.   I do not really know how to write about a subject like this. I feel emotionally overwhelmed and severely unqualified. Yet, the makers of the new documentary, “Emanuel,” manage to not only talk about the tragic Charleston church shooting but to also show the reality of the event in a historical context while telling the personal stories of both the victims and the survivors. On June 17th, 2015, the city of Charleston […]

From Executive Producers Tim Tebow (yes, that Tim Tebow) and Robby Tebow comes the new faith-based film “Run the Race.” Premiering this February, “Run the Race” is a movie that aims to show, not just tell, the real-world, lived-out truthfulness of Romans 8:28: “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Nothing cliché here; no waxing poetic or sputtering pithy bumper sticker proverbs. When dealing with the topic of suffering, “Run the Race” is more content to simply sit in the […]

“Unbroken: Path to Redemption” is a continuation of the story of Olympian and World War II hero, Louis Zamperini, which is based on Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption. The first part of Hillenbrand’s book was featured back in 2014 with the Angelina Jolie directed “Unbroken,” which was nominated for three Academy Awards. Although initially well-received by fans and box office sales, some viewers were disappointed that the 2014 film seemed to end without including what the Zamperini family would consider the most important part: faith. This new film, slated to be released […]

If there was one word I would use to describe my adolescence, it is this: lost. When I was younger, I just felt so lost all the time. In life, both from the inside and the outside, I did not know where I was, how I got there, or why I was still wandering aimlessly. But wander I did. Lost. It is a word often used in Christian lingo, but one that rarely gets true consideration to its implication. Yet, I think there is no better word to describe the feeling one has before Christ. Just like the prophet Isaiah […]

The unremitting road stretches on endlessly into the scorched and blurred horizon. A sweltering heat pulsates all around as tattered shoes, seasoned by hundreds of miles, pound into the dirt one blistering stride after another. You feel each excruciating muscle taxed of all energy and effort. Every breath screams desperate for another ounce of oxygen. Every continued heart beat is a miracle as the rhythm in your chest echoes with the thuds of your feet hitting the ground. And then, just as your about to give in to despair, you hear the words whispering into your thirsty soul: “But those […]

“‘Logic!’ said the Professor half to himself. ‘Why don’t they teach logic at these schools? There are only three possibilities. Either your sister is telling lies, or she is mad, or she is telling the truth. You know she doesn’t tell lies and it is obvious that she is not mad. For the moment then and unless any further evidence turns up, we must assume that she is telling the truth’” (C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, 1950). “What is truth?” This is a question that every person who has ever lived has asked at some point. […]

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand” (Isaiah 41:10, NLT). What do you do when faced with a crisis the world has never seen before? What do you do when your only heroes on the frontline have started to fall? What do you do when the darkness creeps in, fear overwhelms and your faith is pressed from all directions? These were questions that Samaritan’s Purse was faced with during the 2014 Ebola outbreak in […]
