Horton Hears a Who
March 26, 2008
I went to see “Horton Hears a Who” the other day with the kids and some of their friends. While this may seem to be just another children’s movie on the surface, there is actually a much deeper message in Horton that we must communicate to our children and others around us. I very rarely say this about a film because most films are not worth the time spent to watch them, but it looks like God is speaking to a generation through Horton. Read on to see why.

Bella
November 8, 2007
The film Bella is now in limited theaters. I would encourage everyone to go see it. It chronicles an unusual love story between a man and a woman who is considering an abortion. The movie’s message is pro-life and revolves around unconditional love and saving the unborn child. Whether we like it our not, films have become the primary story telling medium in our day and that’s why it is important that a new generation of believers make films that move the heart and mind to goodness and greatness rather than just entertain. I have no idea if the film maker behind Bella is a believer or not, but from the early reviews it is truly a great film. If nothing else, I think we as believers need to vote with our dollars and support this type of film making so that we may see more films of this kind of caliber. Tells others about the film and see if it’s showing in your area at www.bellathemovie.com. I plan on seeing it this Friday.
Here’s the official trailer on youtube.
The Underground Church in America
November 4, 2007
An underground church is forming in America. It is not forming around the issue of physical persecution but rather around the issue of devotion to Jesus. It is a group of believers who are asking the question, “Is Jesus really worth everything?” If He is, it means that He must affect every area of our lives. Over on in earnest expectation, I caught the preview of this video that chronicles this movement in America. This underground church cannot be defined by any one ministry or under any one label, but this looks to be a great film chronicle of at least part of the movement.
