God and the Devil are both a lot smarter than you are. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/227 2010-08-08T17:20:44-05:00 Michael Landon, director of film The Velveteen Rabbit, is interviewed by CT magazine, on his thoughts about being a Christian in Hollywood. (You can subscribe to Christianity Today Movies for more good stuff like this.) The Velveteen Rabbit is a classic children’s book which explores the moving and recurring theme of being made ‘real’ through a search for redemptive love. Spielberg’s Artificial Intelligence engages with this at a more adult level, as do so many other books and films – Love of Seven Dolls by Paul Gallico is just one such classic. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/2269 2010-08-08T17:02:02-05:00 Inception has been getting rave reviews. It’s certainly the sort of film you’d want to see a second time. In fact, this second viewing phenomenon is very widespread, as people return to work out the intricacies of the plot, not to mention looking for the many hidden visual and musical puns which have been deliberately embedded in the film. This is what the industry calls a ‘rehook’. (How can we make aspects of Christian and evangelistic ministry, offline or online, have this ‘rehook’, ’sticky’ attraction to return?) http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%204:5&version=NIV 2009-10-02T14:13:24-05:00 Paul tells the Cortinthians that Jesus will expose everything that has been hidden in the dark to the light. He will draw out the motives of our hearts. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20119:11&version=NIV 2009-10-02T10:00:09-05:00 The psalmist writes that he has hidden God's word in his heart--he has so internalized God's commands and promises that he's conscious of them at all times. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2010:26&version=NIV 2009-08-04T17:11:44-05:00 No secret or hidden sin can remain so before God. Here, we are reminded that all of our secrets and sin will be made plain one day. For this reason, we don't need to fear hidden schemes or plots.
