Noah: The REAL Story - By Joseph Prince

Let me start off by saying that I finally saw the big NOAH movie recently. I realize that it's probably already on DVD... but life has been a bit busy this summer.

Let me just say... save yourself! Do not waste one PENNY of your money on this movie. It was horrible. There wasn't ONE shred of accuracy in it. It was so far out in left field that they should've named it something else. They re-wrote the entire story and made it incredibly depressing and dark and hopeless.

The video I'm sharing today is Pastor Joseph Prince's take on the movie. He NAILED it!!

Pastor Prince was SO on target here... I LOVE this video so much that it made my cry and I felt compelled to share it. In this video, he reminds us of the HOPE and GRACE and LOVE that were left out of the Hollywood film. 

He said a phrase that really burned into my memory. At one point, when talking about God calling the animals to the ark, he briefly discusses the miracle of the natural migratory instinct of animals. He uses a specific species of butterflies as an example. These butterflies migrate from Iceland to Africa every winter, lay their eggs and when the babies are born each spring, they instinctively know to go back to the exact place in Iceland where the parents were from.

Joseph Prince comments, "How would they know to do that??? The parents have died! .....God leads them." Science can't explain it, so they call it "mother nature". Joseph Prince says that "mother nature" has nothing to do with it... it's FATHER GOD!

... God leads them. Pastor Prince talks about God making a way for Noah and his family to be saved. Noah didn't come up with the idea to build an ark on his own. GOD gave him the blueprint and the tools to protect himself. God protected the Israelites as they wandered through the desert. He was a cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by night. They didn't have to worry about where to go... they just had to follow HIM.

It reminds me of all the turmoil going on across the world with wars and rumors of wars and the pestilence that is spreading like wildfire across the globe... we don't have to be afraid of what we're going to do. If we look to God and keep our eyes solely on HIM, He will protect us and lead us to safety.

I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did. 

America: Imagine A World Without Her

Anyone who hasn't seen this movie, must get to the nearest theater to see it! It was a great movie that I highly recommend. It made me cry. We have such a beautiful country that, throughout history, has made some notable mistakes, but we are the greatest country that has ever been. The most giving, caring, hospitable and welcoming country in history.

"Box-office returns for “America” on Friday were up 60 percent from Thursday, with competitors, “Tammy” up only 17 percent, “Earth to Echo” up 5 percent and “Deliver Us From Evil” down 5 percent." MORE

Here is a brief clip from the movie: a snippet of Bono speaking about the beauty of the 'idea' of America.

Challenging Athiests on the Existence of God

I love Dinesh D'Souza! Here is a video of him speaking at Saddleback Church about the existence of God and his debates with some of the strongest Atheists of our culture.

His whole philosophy is to be bi-lingual, meaning that we need to understand the Bible in order to talk with fellow Christians, but also understand history and science. You can't battle someone who is secular (an atheist) with the Bible if they reject the authority of it. Battle them using the information they accept as truth.

He doesn't encourage going out of your way to debate them, but when Christianity comes under attack, he gives great insight into how to counteract, and he explains the newest tactics being used in the fight.

We're dealing with a deeper level of evil and hatred against Christianity than ever before.

He makes such valid points, and I really admire his unique perspective!

Let me know what you think! Enjoy!

Set the Bible Free!

"That's what I loved. That's what I still love. These stories are beautiful and contagious. They're unexpected and, at times, unexplainable. They're human and bitter -- often more violent than we want them to be and often way more gracious than we could ever imagine. They help us and confound us. We love them and we hate them, but one thing is always true -- once we know them... once we have them... they never, ever leave us.

And the worst thing I can say about the world I live in today is that most people I know don't have them. They may have a church. They may have a Bible. But they don't have these stories.

We have seminaries to help us study these stories.

We have churches to a help us apply these stories.

But what do we have to help us LOVE these stories?

These stories are alive. But they are trapped behind church walls and in leather-bound books on dusty shelves. Imprisoned by theological systems that are running out of their usefulness. They've been taken hostage by haters and bigots and politicians. They've been abused and neutered and disfigured. And worse than all of that, they've been forgotten." MORE

Vulcan Salute... Beautiful!

In a world that is full of occult symbols, this symbol has such a beautiful beginning!! A true blessing... in disguise.

Video of the Week: Building 429, Always

Was driving home today and this song came on the radio. Broke my heart into pieces. I found myself with tears streaming down my face.

Regardless of what happens in the future - we must always remember that God has SUCH a deep love for us. He promised to never leave us or forsake us. Deuteronomy 31:6

I have to wonder with the overwhelming sympathy I felt in my heart while listening to this song.... how much MORE sympathy does God have for those that are innocent, those that are hurting, those that are homeless, those that are broken? ..... and how much MORE must it hurt His heart to see His children struggling and hopeless, lost and defeated?

We have to remember that God is full of compassion and mercy - and that the same emotion that overtakes us and makes us want to wrap our arms around others and encourage them and love on them... is something that He gave to us, and something that He feels even stronger about. He loves us to an overwhelming degree. He knows every hair on our head and every desire in our hearts. He knows what is coming tomorrow, and He is still in control.

"I believe always, always our Savior never fails. Even when all hope is gone, God knows our pain and his promise remains. He will be with you always."
