Sitting at home relaxing today, watching Sky News (our equivalent of Fox News) and they ran a story covering the premiere of "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe".

They did the usual footage of the actors in the films showing up all dressed up and all the ohotographers and fans out in force to greet them, but then the newsreader began a side issue about "how some are claiming this film to be nothing more than Christian propaganda and a crude attempt to twist the writings of C.S Lewis for their own gain".

:cool:

I could not physically believe my ears. I actually burst out laughing because the only alternative was to lose my temper and I try my best to never do that. Its a prime example of A) not researching the material before making assumptions because had they any ounce of journalistsic integrity they would have done some background checking on C.S Lewis and found that the final 40 years of his life after he was saved were spend engaging in apologetics in the form of numerous essays and novells (like the Chronicles of Narnia, as well as the Screwtape Letters, Mere Christianity etc.) and that he is considered one of the greatest Christian writers and speakers of his generation and B) the seemingly endless supply of anti-Christian propaganda the western medias are spewing out ad nauseum.

Its unbelievable that they, a supposedly neutral and objective news reporting station, can say Christian's are hijacking this "innocent kid's film" to promote Christianity in a great conspiracy, THATS WHAT THE BOOK THIS FILM IS BASED ON WAS WRITTEN FOR!!!!!

They then began to interview the actors of the film to see what they thought of this "Christian conspiracy", and of course they all replied on film something along the lines of, oh its just a film and if people want to twist it for their own gain that their choice I suppose.

Another sad example of how secualr our society is becoming, I only wish C.S Lewis was still alive to put the record straight.

I didnt hear them wrong at all, Ive watched and rewatched and Im still in disbelief.

They regularly bash Christianity though and try to make us Christians look like bigoted old ancient relics and idiots.

Recently on the gay marriage debate they had a rev on and the questionner wouldnt let him finish his answers when questions and constantly had a patronising and condescending air our her.

Ive even said to myself that maybe I am looking for them to do this and am twisting the perception to please myself, but Im not the only one whos noticed it, and Ive rewatched things loads of times to make sure this isnt happening.

I think Ill be adding Sky News to the list of things I no longer watch on TV.

I think it might be time for us to do a course on how to deal with the media - seriously. I mean it seams to be getting quite common place these days to bash christiandom, - but when the world needs donors or a safe place for abuse victims ( there are lots and lots of other contributions christians make to the world), they come running to us.

This kind of media meaness is aimed at destroying salvation and I think that is a totally rotten thing to do.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
