We’ve come to expect great faith-based films from Pure Flix and “God’s Not Dead 3: A Light in the Darkness” is no exception. As with the previous God’s Not Dead series, the Christian faith is under attack. What is interesting with each of these films is the attention they bring to the current cultural climate. Providing scenarios and solutions for situations we may encounter ourselves in the real world, it is on-screen Christian apologetics (giving a defense for the Christian faith). So what can we glean from God’s Not Dead 3? Perhaps this line from the film says it best: […]

It comes without glitz. It comes without sex. It comes without computer generated imagery (CGI) — oh my! What? A biblical movie without Hollywood’s gruesome graphics or DeMille’s epic grandeur? Without these bells and whistles how will the movie “Paul, Apostle of Christ” captivate moviegoers? Answer: through the power of faith, love and grace. Now before you yawn at that list, let me assure you the movie is anything but ho-hum! The power of faith Most of us today don’t equate faith with power. And by most accounts it would appear in this movie that Paul and the Christian faith […]

“Samson” is an Action-Packed Story of Passion, Betrayal and Redemption

Action, romance, deception, supernatural powers, intrigue and plot twists! Sounds like the making of a superhero film. But unlike these comic-turned-live action characters, “Samson” opening in theaters on February 16, is based on a real person in history. The stormy story of Samson can be found in Judges 13-14 of the Bible. He is a Hebrew, dedicated to God as a Nazarite, set apart to deliver the Israelites from captivity from the Philistines. God equips him with superhuman strength for this purpose, and Samson becomes a human weapon of mass destruction. But because of a stream of disobedience and compromise […]

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 […]

The theaters have already seen a number of faith-based films earlier this year such as “The Resurrection of Gavin Stone,” “The Shack,” “The Case for Christ,” and “The Champion.” These films touched many lives while on the big screen, and since most of them are now available on DVD, streaming and for church licensing, they are continuing to touch lives. These movies inspire and encourage believers, providing a special opportunity for an uplifting experience for our families while serving as an outreach to the unchurched as well. However, believers should understand that, unlike many secular films, there is rarely a […]

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 […]

I had been waiting for that letter. It had been weeks that I had been hearing about the show “Thirteen Reasons Why” that had become a global phenomenon. But this was no ordinary show. This was a show about teen suicide, one that graphically depicted it, and that kids had easy access too. One that could potentially hurt a kid that was already hurting. Many school districts across the nation had already begun sending home letters, warning parents about the show. And although my kids are much younger than teenagers, I was very aware that even these sorts of things […]
