War Room: The Best Kendrick Bros. Effort To Date
It’s not often that I can say that Christian filmmakers have actually done a service to the Church rather than a disservice. I’m pleased to say that the Kendrick Brothers have done so. In their newest movie, War Room, they have shown the Christian film industry what Christian film CAN do’glorify God with good writing,...
“Jurassic World:” A Sequel That Knows It’s a Sequel
One of my vivid movie-going memories comes from June 1993 when I saw Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park on opening night. 22 years ago, nobody had ever seen a computer-generated dinosaur, much less a whole mess of them.

From the director of one of the most expensive and most popular comic book films of all time, that’s saying something. Exactly how does one top the immense popularity and critical acclaim of The Avengers? Whedon may have...
A Gospel Spam Review of The Theonomy Debate!
A week or so ago Dr. Joel McDurmon (American Vision) and Pastor Jordan Hall (Pulpit and Pen Sermon Audio broadcast) debated the topic, Is the civil law of God obligatory for all nations? As you might guess, McDurmon argued in the affirmative and Hall the negative. In an amazing feat of speed-production, Marcus Pittman of...
