America Is Not A Christian Nation
As Independence Day approaches, I thought we needed a dose of truth when it comes to our country. Before anyone panics with what my topic is let me say this; yes, the United States does a lot of great things, but that alone doesn’t make us a Christian nation.
Should We Make Christian Movies?
Let’s be really honest. Most Evangelical attempts at films in the last 30 years have been, putting it nicely, terrible. Numerous people, Christian and non-Christian alike, have taken a shot at exactly why this is. Everything from “they’re cheap” to “they’re not honest enough” have been suggested. For the past four years or so since starting my own career as a filmmaker, I’ve struggled to explain to many why I refuse to support these movies.

Don’t Worry. Be Happy.
We worry about small things and let little issues ruin our day. To summarize Paul tells us to not worry and be happy. God has saved us and we have nothing to fear.
{Philippians 2:1-4} Pause & Reflect Devotional
In Philippians 2:1-4 Paul challenges us to move from selfish to selfless.
{1 John 2:15-17} Stop & Reflect
“Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.
