The last major faith-based film in theaters was “I Still Believe,” an Erwin Brothers production about the inspiring true love story of Christian singer/song-writer Jeremy Camp and his wife Melissa – a story demonstrating hope in the midst of life’s storms. Sadly, less than two weeks after it opened in March 2020, the COVID-driven lockdowns began and most movie theaters shut down. Of course this and other previous releases are now available via streaming, DVD and for licensed Church showings. Thankfully, in many areas most movie theaters have been opening again, and starting this September we will once again see […]

What we refer to as “The Last Supper” – which is commemorated every time we take communion – was in reality a Passover Seder, a meal that Yeshua (Jesus) and his disciples would have celebrated their entire lives. However, it was at that particular Seder that Yeshua chose to give the REAL significance to this meal and holiday. The holiday of Passover (really three feasts in one — The Feast of Passover, The Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the Feast of Firstfruits) had been created and observed as a commemoration of God’s miraculous deliverance of the Jewish people from the […]

  “I Still Believe” is based on the true story of Christian singer/song-writer Jeremy Camp’s rise to prominence intertwined with the ups and downs of his real-life romance with Melissa Henning, who eventually became his wife. This movie is being promoted as a love story, but Jeremy and Melissa’s story is so much more. At the center of their story is Melissa’s on and off struggle with cancer, both before and after their marriage. It is in the midst of this struggle that, not only is their faith tested, but also the degree of Jeremy’s commitment to Melissa. As Tom […]

Many are aware of the growing international problem of human sex trafficking, but very few are aware of how prevalent it is in their own communities and how extensive it has become. One of the most important steps that must be made prior to taking effective action towards resolving any problem is to become informed. A new and effective tool to both inform and motivate people to take action in this battle is the upcoming documentary “Blind Eyes Opened: The Truth About Sex Trafficking in America,” which will be showing in select theaters nationwide one-night only on January 23. The film […]

Despite sexual allegations against some the biggest names in the entertainment industry, Hollywood seems to have no problem supporting similar behavior on the screen in their movies. Many movies in theaters today are full of vulgar language, and graphic sexual, occult and violent content. Even the latest Disney/Pixar release was focused on Mexico’s Day of the Dead and the various occult practices associated with it and many of the 2018 Golden Globe nominations for Best Picture are R-rated with lewd sexual content. But, as an old saying states, “It is better to light a small candle than to curse the […]
