Check out my other website
FaithFlix.tv On there I have listed a ton of Christian and faith-based movies. Happy viewing.
Many people think that their faith should make them into some kind of superhero, impervious to all the crap of life. Christians, like everyone, gets highs and lows... this is called life. Being a Christian doesn't mean that we won't have good and bad days, it simply means we are now living for something... someone else; someone who is bigger than all of our problems and issues put together. I have learned over the years that although I have faith in Jesus I am still me, warts and all, but God loves me in spite of who I am a lot of the time. All I can say is that from my own experience I too felt this way... like I was trying to find water in a dry land. What I did was to really read and study the Bible... pray... fast... speak to God on a regular basis... become a regular churchgoer... give more with regards to time, money, love, help, etc... Find a good pastor who you can talk to. Find a good Bible study group that you can be part of. Find a good church family that you can belong to. As I said being a Christian does not take all the issues and hassles of life away, but it does give a way out from underneath them!
Bless you in your journey... Let me know how you get on!
Chris :)
Thanks Jim for your comments. Many people don't realize going in that sex is as destructive as drugs and alcohol, as you pointed out. May God continue to bless you as you follow Him! Chris
Thanks for your honest reply. It's true that many forget to include grace and forgiveness instead preaching a message of condemnation. There needs to be balance... we can preach challenges and even rebukes when needed, but we must always come from a place of love and mercy.
You make a good point. However, what if that one that was reached by Bullhorn Guy becomes the next Billy Graham and in turn goes on to proclaim the Gospel to millions of people worldwide. I know the chances are slim, but that's what I love about all of this... we just don't who we are reaching out to. I must admit, Bullhorn Guy is not my style, but I'm sure the 'turn or burn' message still has it's place out there...
Hey Marcus,
Glad you enjoyed the movie. I have several friends who really liked it too, one even saying that he saw it as a metaphor for the spiritual war going on all around us - personally I think that's a stretch (even for me... I can usually find a metaphor or two in most movies) but each to their own. I'm not here to condemn anyone, just to give an honest opinion of what I thought about the movie... that's all.
Keep it hardcore!
Chris
Suzette, thanks for you two pence. The debate is still out as to whether I prefer big or small churches. I guess for me it depends on the intentionality of the various churches. The church is called to share Jesus with the world... so big or small let's do just that!
Hey Colin, Thanks for your feedback. I was told by a friend just to be myself and that's me... well, that's the nervous me talking up a real storm! I actually enjoyed filming this vlog way more than the ones last year, and plan to record 3 a week (minimum).
THX Rob! I'm actually looking forward to doing the videos this time around. I was so concerned with lighting and scripts that I forgot to have fun and just be myself. Watching some of my older videos I gave Keanue Reeves a run for his money! Glad you're still around man!!!
Personally I would have to say that the best 'bromance' is between Chuck and his lifelong buddy Morgan (in the TV show Chuck)... This 'bromance' is the stuff of legend!
