LaVrai – The Truth

It’s stories like these that make it difficult to paint things as black and white… and for Christians most things are black and white when it comes to morality and ethics  — either it lines up with the Holy Bible or it doesn’t. There is perhaps no moral issue more contested in the secular and religious than the issue of abortion. Read the rest of this entry »

From The Lighthouse has a new post up on the Department of Peace Bill H.R. 808 — far-reaching legislation that effectively would help to silence “narrow-minded” Christians who refuse to compromise with those of other faiths when it comes to Salvation in Jesus the Christ. There is no doubt that President Obama will sign this bill. Read the rest of this entry »

I find it curious that it’s quite often Catholics clergy who manage to point out that, no matter what faith President Obama claims, the fruit of his works don’t line up with Christianity. For example, the issue that some Christians fail or refuse to take note of is the president’s stance on abortion. Mr. Obama is all for killing unborn babies in America and abroad (and in some cases, it appears, even babies mistakenly born alive during a failed abortion). Is it really that easy to shrug off the fact that the LORD our GOD doesn’t condone murdering innocents? You can call the unborn child a fetus if that sounds more pleasant to you… but this fetus is exactly the same as you and I before we came into this world — a human being.

National Public Radio (NPR) has a piece on how independent Christian filmmakers are successfully filling the gap that Hollywood loves to ignore — viewers of the Christian faith looking for stories that reflect their principles. Since Hollywood is too busy demonizing Christians, painting us as nut jobs and hypocrites, Christian movie makers are gladly portraying the TRUTH and finding that there’s a hungry audience out there ready to support them.

Hollywood crowns its favorite movies and actors at the Oscars on Sunday, another group is trying to create a rival movie industry. Fed up with sex and violence in mainstream entertainment, conservative Christians are turning out their own films. And they’ve made surprising inroads.

If you don’t believe us, take this quiz: What was the biggest grossing independent film in 2008? No, not Slumdog Millionaire. Not Milk. It was a movie you’ve probably never heard of.

Fireproof, starring former teen idol Kirk Cameron, was all the talk of some 2,000 Christian movie fans gathering at the San Antonio (Texas) Independent Christian Film Festival in January. This crowd was markedly un-Hollywood, the men wearing jeans and Polo shirts, the women in high necklines and low hems. The lights had hardly dimmed for opening ceremonies when Doug Philips, the festival’s organizer, told the audience they were drawing a battle line in the culture wars.

Have you seen the star that’s supposed to be shining day and night, heralding the coming of another anti-Christ? But this Maitreya demon isn’t just another false messiah, for this unclean spirit is outing itself at a time when the world seems ripe for such delusion. The president the world adores gives the impression that there is more than one way to be saved, while Christians will tell you that Salvation is in Jesus the Christ of Nazareth alone (as the infallible Word of GOD explains). “America’s pastor” Rick Warren of Saddleback Church gives the impression that Christians can cast aside their faith and the teachings of our ETERNAL LORD and KING Jesus the Christ for the sake of working together to end poverty (although the LORD our GOD says in the Old and New Testaments that the poor will be with us always).
