I know some have implied there's already "too many posts" about Skillet, but I truly don't care. They're my favorite band that manages to be brutally honest about their faith, but also their struggles and sometimes how insane it is, trying to reconcile both. I relate to that a lot every day...

With due respect, Michael Moore is about as publicly Leftist as it gets. He's openly condemned both Al Gore & George W. Bush, describing the latter as "a banal, despicable, and corrupt human being". By contrast, he praised Hugo Chavez, a self-described Marxist whose policies favored socialism...

I've bought a fair number of 4K movies over the past few months, and the last one I watched was The Matrix Revolutions. I've ordered a 4K set of the first six Mission: Impossible films, and I'm looking forward to seeing them all in the best video quality available. I also have entered into the...

While I admit that some folks twist Scripture to suit their own ego, I don't think most reasonable people do. That said, its important to note that the entire Bible should never be taken literally. Rather, it should be viewed literarily, meaning to treat every event described according to its...

The majority of my life has been filled with many forms of mental, emotional, and spiritual suffering. From the age of 3 until I was 14, my Mom was barely around, leaving my younger sister and I to be primarily raised by Mom's extremely legalistic and fear-minded aunt and uncle. They never said...

I don't see a problem, so long as you avoid things related to the occult. Too many believers want to equate fictional magic such as Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings with real-world Satanism...but if you look beyond the superficial, there's many extreme differences.

Satan was the same way, not only turning traitor against God but convincing an entire third of his fellow angels to do the same thing. Regarding the human side of the equation, I like how apologist Frank Turek stated it: "Most people are not on a truth quest - they're on a happiness quest."

Hello, everyone. I know I'm not a regular poster around here, so most of you probably don't know me at all. But since most of us are likely followers of Jesus, I have to believe there's some kind of spiritual bond between us in heavenly places. I'm writing this post as an all-out plea, because...

The term "salvation" comes from several roots: the Old French "salvacion", the Latin "salva", and more broadly the Greek "soteria". All three share the common theme of being saved or rescued from harm or destruction, and when applied to Scripture it becomes very obvious that what we need saving...

The answer to that question is one word: "sin"...and no amount of works can ever result in a person earning or deserving God's love and redemption. Only the blood of Jesus does that, and to access it requires repentance, which comes from a brutally honest heart instead of the hands. We have to...

The plain and simple fact of the matter is that because of the Eden curse, two things happened. First, the world was corrupted...and second, so were we. Instead of living in harmony with each other and with God, we now had a self-serving ego, and a desire to prove we were morally superior to our...

The issue of "faith or works" is fairly complicated in the Bible. Different verses say that both are in various ways dependent on each other, and necessary in a believer's life. The way I understand it, placing your personal trust in God through Jesus redeems you by His blood, and gets you into...

OK, I just finished watching The Matrix Reloaded on 4K, having not seen it in probably ten years or better. To be honest, I don't think its as good as the original, but it was still a lot of fun. I do think the freeway sequence and Neo's fight with the Merovingian's goons made the story feel...

No, I've never seen that. I've heard the title in passing a few times, but that's about it.

I never saw either Chicago or Les Miserables, but one of my favorites along that line is the 2004 version of The Phantom of the Opera. I have both that and a 25th-anniversary stage performance on the Blu-Ray format, but I'd really love to see the movie get a 4K upgrade. The colors and sets are...

I'm not into most Westerns, but I do like both Tombstone, and The Quick and the Dead. As for other genres, most of my Blu-Ray collection is made up of action and family fare, with a few dramas and musicals sprinkled in. I got a 4K player a few months ago, so I've been buying some movies in that...

Perhaps I got the wrong impression overall, but the billing block does say "introducing Daniel Craig". His actual first credit was a UK miniseries called Anglo-Saxon Attitudes, from 1992. Logan Lucky wouldn't be done for another 25 years.

I respectfully disagree with this, because it tends to equate spiritual conviction with the popular idea of "magical thinking". There's many different things in both the Bible and Christianity as a whole, that can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt (not all doubt) through various evidential...

With due respect, that poster has to be a fake, because several of the names on the billing block were already famous well before 2024. Daniel Craig, Katie Holmes, Channing Tatum, Sebastian Stan, Adam Driver, and Katherine Waterston all got their respective starts on television decades ago, even...

I really think a lot of people (even many well-intended believers) act like Pharisees these days, trying to carve out exactly what does or does not make someone a Christian. There's many different verses all across Scripture, but the bottom line is this - admit you've sinned against God, believe...
