Satire?

The Babylon Bee is a new Christian site that seeks to use satire to show how ridiculous so many trends in Evangelicalism truly are.  This article hits way to close to many "Christian" movie reviews I have read.


Ease Your Conscience By Finding The Gospel Theme™ In Any Filthy Movie

Do you find yourself hesitating when it’s time to pick up tickets for the latest Hollywood blockbuster because, like many other Christians, you’re afraid to expose yourself and your family to the depraved debauchery of so many of today’s films? Do you also live with the fear of cultural irrelevance because of all the popular movies you have not seen? Well fear no more, say the creators of Gospel Theme™, a new service dedicated to helping Christian film enthusiast watch more filthy movies, watch them better, and watch them with a clear conscience.

“We, like you, love to watch today’s most popular movies,” Victor Rossi, CEO of Gospel Theme™ told reporters Thursday. “And we, like you, get offended by the mindless violence and debased sexuality that pervades so many of them. The solution, of course, is not to stop watching the films! The solution is to find the Gospel Theme™ in each one. And that is what our service will do for you.”
“The Gospel Theme™ smothers the tender conscience, emboldens the inquisitive mind, and relaxes even the most stubborn spouse,” he continued. “Our Gospel Theme™ database contains information on over 1000 films, with more being added each day. For each film we detail the gut-churning violence, pornographic erotica, and overall monstrous depravity that will soon entertain you once we show you how that film actually mirrors the gospel!”

The Gospel Theme™ offered a sneak peek of its service, sharing its take on several popular films:
Were you under the impression that The Wolf of Wall Street’s 22 sex scenes and 525 f-words made it inappropriate viewing for the Christian viewer? Gospel Theme™ will show you that it is actually required viewing for Christians who want to explore the dangers of lust and greed, the very sins our Savior died for. It’s the Gospel Theme™!
Has someone told you to be cautious with the flagrant sexuality of The Immigrant? We, like Ewa Cybulska are strangers in a strange land. That Gospel Theme™ redeems every glimpse of skin!
Have you found yourself hesitant to watch Rob Roy because of the scenes of rape and sexual exploitation? The Gospel Theme™ will set your mind at ease as you watch Rob love his wife like Christ loves his church. His enduring love for his wife will cause you to cry tears of joy even as you watch his wife being subjected to horrifying acts of sexual violence!
“Here at Gospel Theme™ we believe there is no movie so filthy and vile that you cannot watch it, if only you find the link to the gospel,” explained Rossi. “Our commitment to you is to relieve your guilty conscience by helping you find the Gospel Theme™ in absolutely any filthy movie you could ever want to watch.”

Getting Ready for Friday

Learn to know Christ and him crucified. Learn to sing to him, and say, "Lord Jesus, you are my righteousness, I am your sin. You have taken upon yourself what is mine and given me what is yours. You have become what you were not so that I might become what I was not." --Martin Luther

Families' Fridays

From Focus on the Family 10 helpful tips for single parents Imagine this: you’re the sole parent for your children. You get them up, get them fed and send them to school. You do the housework, maybe you go to work yourself, you get home and you’re still the only adult there. There’s no one to relieve you. No one to pass the baton to while you take a shower or take a few minutes for yourself. You make dinner and gather the family around the table to eat. You play with them, read to them, give them baths, get them to bed and there’s no one there to sit with and process your day. There’s no one there to laugh with you or pray with you. Instead you keep working. You clean up the house again. You pack lunches for the next day. And you eventually crash into bed, knowing you’ll be doing the same thing tomorrow. For many, this is not an imagined scenario. When you parent alone – whether due to divorce, the loss of your spouse or having a spouse who works away from home for long periods of...

The walking, talking providence of God

Today I met a man in Israel I will never forget.  Fifteen years ago he was voting in a primary for candidates of the Likud party.  At the polling station, two Palestinian terrorists burst in upon the crowd who were choosing their candidate for the next election.  They sprayed the crowd with automatic gunfire.  Seven people fell to the floor, wounded by the barrage.  The terrorists moved among the fallen, stopping to shoot each one between the eyes to make sure that they were dead.  Six people died that day.  Today I met the seventh. He was wounded four times in the initial burst of gunfire - once in each leg, once in the arm and once in the side.  The terrorists then put a gun two feet from his face and put a bullet between his eyebrows.  I saw the deep scar with my own eyes.  The next year he spent in a coma. Today I met him at the little restaurant he owns outside the gates of the ancient ruins of Beth She'an.  He stood in f...
