Movie Review ~ Standing Firm

"Furious with God after his wife's death, David is avoiding church, struggling to pay the bills and avoid foreclosure, and working himself into an early grave. Meanwhile his son, Steven, watches, prays—and worries. Can anyone help his dad answer the question "Why?"—before grief destroys what's left of their family?" I have to confess that when [...]

Unidentified

So the other day some friends of mine suggested I watch a Christian movie which tackles the subject of UFO's and alien abduction. They had a lot of good things to say about it and since I'm always interested to see how a Christian movie will treat occult topics I thought I'd give it a [...]

What is Automatic Writing?

   I've noticed over the last day or so that there seems to be some confusion among Christians about a particular occult technique known as automatic writing. I thought it might be useful to take a look at this particular occult activity and define it. Automatic writing is a mediumistic talent/technique where the medium (or channel [...]

Live Close To The Lord

I've been reading a really lovely devotional the past few days (which I'm going to be officially reviewing next week) called Jesus Calling, written by Sarah Young. What I like is that each day is written in the "voice" of Jesus speaking encouragement to us. While it's not necessarily strict scripture it puts an interesting [...]

Considering Twilight: Obsession or Love?

   Twilight. I have to confess I really do not understand the appeal of these books or the movies (which I have previously discussed in another blog called Twilight Calling).  The furor is utterly mind boggling. Some people have objected to Twilight because of the vampire themes, mysticism/ fantasy elements, etc. Honestly, that's not my issue with the [...]

Lovely Day

I don't know about you, but for me today has been all about blue sky, sunshine, productive meetings, and chatting with new friends. I'd say it's been a very lovely day! So why did I pick a song (which is a Christian cover of the original by Bill Withers) where the lyrics are talking about hard times? [...]

Like a Thief in the Night

    Alright, here is a little blast from the early seventies past. Do you remember this movie? It was the first of what could only be called Christian Tribulation "thrillers". Movies designed to warn people of the impending judgement of God during the Last Days and pointing to Jesus Christ as the way to [...]

Better Than Oprah’s Book Club

  You know, back in the day before she became a national treasure and icon (insert tongue in cheek), I used to be like a lot of women and follow the Oprah Book Club. It was a fun way to find new books and feel like I was taking part in a larger discussion  with [...]
