A Call For Christian Commedies

So here’s a question. Why aren’t there more Christian comedies? What? God doesn’t have a sense of humor? Nothing funny ever happens to Christians? God created humor. He loves when we laugh. There are zillions of scripture references for joy and laughter. Even Issac’s name means “He laughs.” Laughing is good for the body and […]

Remembering 9/11

In August of 2002 my young family and I traveled to NYC to see the 911 site. We went just after the cleanup was finally complete.

I’d like to make the case in support of this funny, engaging, and action packed film. Don’t be swayed by […]

MAN OF STEEL – BE PREPARED

“Man Of Steel” opened a few weeks ago. I have already seen it twice and will definitely go back for a third or maybe even fourth screening. Why? Why see it so many times, you may ask? I’ll tell you why. This film contains so many New and Old Testament references, images, parables, themes, and […]
