Is the time finally at hand when Christian thought and worldview are starting to get a greater hearing within American culture? For all of the things which we could lament surrounding us in pop culture, I am starting to notice a trend toward movies with a Christian world and life-
view on the increase. The first installment of the C.S. Lewis series, "The Chronicles of Narnia" will be hitting theaters on December the 9th and they promise to be true to the books and values of Lewis and his family. God´s voice is getting a hearing in spite of the fact that others are trying so hard to squeeze Him out, or at least marginalize His people. Let us as the redeemed community be as loud to applaud Disney for making this movie as we have been to yell when they blow it! Go see "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" and travel to the wonderful land where Aslan rules!

Well, now I guess I know whom I need to beat to the ticket line!
ReplyDeleteWe've been waiting for this one for a very long time it seems. Minda has been our 'color commentator' with play by play action and up to the minute reports. Cassia sat down to finally begin the books last night! LOL! I recently read an interview with Skander Keynes (Edmond) and he said something that was rather astute for someone so young. He was asked what he liked (if anything) about playing the naughty boy and getting to be naughty on the movie set... he answered...I like Edmond and the fact that he goes through such a new journey and changes the most. It was great for me, because it challenged me, and at the end of the day, I could come away feeling that reward, that maybe I had changed too." As Jack once said, "Narnia is a place for all to come to, and also to keep you coming back."
