Make no choices thinking that you can get away with sin. God and the Devil are both a lot smarter than you are.

Christian messages in movies - drawing out hidden redemptive themes, eg Slumdog Millionaire
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.

Inception - spiritual parallels and meaning within this fascinating movie
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?)

Word heart - a Christian perspective
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.

Hidden - a Christian perspective
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.
