Gods Providence Prevails!

November 5, 2008 – 12:01 pm
It's official!  We have the first American President of African-American descent, and the ride hasn't yet begun. It was little surprise that President-Elect Obama was to become our next President. I have to admit, I have a sense of dread about his rise to power. But this is what we get with the system of government we have adopted and supported for the past 212 years. We need to face the fact that America is a young nation, and we have yet to be truly tested. Not since the invasion of the British army has the nation been tested in the national sense. The Civil War paved the way for Mr. Obama, but more than anything else it's the hand of the Creator which has delivered this man to us as a people. We will clearly see if he is a Christian, and I urge every Christian ...

FIREPROOF: The Movie

October 26, 2008 – 3:00 pm
My wife and I saw Fireproof the opening weekend.  The theater had about 30 people in attendance for a late afternoon showing and both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Since then I have spoken to other Christians who have seen the film, and everyone reports a similar level of enjoyment. The theme of the film surrounds the broken marriage of a Fire Captain and his Marketing Director wife.  While not the highest budget film, the elements of the film satisfy the bare minimums for a Hollywood production. The heart of the film surrounds the way a family can fail and how that failure can lead to a growing distance and poor choices in decision making.  The solution is presented in the form of "The Love Dare," a challenge to love unconditionally those we are commanded to love, and more specifically our spouses. The film touches on the topic of sharing the ...
