Are you a lukewarm Christian. Be careful.

I was sitting in my quiet time spot (the East window of my upstairs bedroom) and spending some precious moments with my Heavenly Father.  I was listening to Holy Holy Holy, beautifully and masterfully played by Terry MacAlmon. His arrangement of Holy Holy Holy will bring you to your knees.  And so … I decided to google Holy Holy Holy and
found this site below.  OH MY .. to see what God is doing all around the globe gladens the heart and encourages us that God is still on the throne, that there are millions upon millions who love him, need him and worship him.  Even so come quickly Lord Jesus. 

This is holy week …. spend some time at the feet of Jesus in whatever way God provides for you this week.  Worship Him.  Bless His name….pay it forward and tell someone what God has done for you and what he promises to do for eternity.

And … if you don’t think God is moving across the earth, watch this!  WOW.  He who wins souls is wise.

America may be lukewarm toward Jesus, but there are people in need all over the globe and you’ll see that here.

Holy, holy, holy!  Lord God almighty!  Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty God in three persons, blessed trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide thee  – though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see;
Only thou art holy, there is none beside thee Perfect in power, love, and purity

Holy, holy, holy! lord God almighty!  All thy works shall praise thy name,
In earth, and sky, and sea; Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty God in three persons, blessed trinity!

God in three persons, blessed trinity!

The Book of Eli

.
My husband I don’t normally attend an R-rated movie.  This was an exception.  And here’s why.  This move is a post-apocalyptic tale, in which a lone man fights his way across America in order to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to saving humankind.  What book?  The Holy Bible.

This movie is rated R for violence (some hard to watch scenes, but none worse than The Passion of The Christ).  For me the R rating was for hearing the F word a few times.   There is no nudity thank goodness and no graphic sex.  There are a couple of scenes of attempted rape, but no skin … one scene is shot from quite a distance away and the director wants you to know an assault is taking place but is merciful enough not to show it to us.

This movie was amazingly real.  As the adverts claim “it will rock your soul”.  It rocked mine.  Below is an excerpt from the trailer.

Eli (Denzel Washington) has been on a journey for 30 years, walking west across America after a cataclysmic war that turned the earth into a total wasteland. The world has become a lawless civilization where people must kill or be killed. The barren roads belong to gangs of cutthroats who rob and kill for water, a pair of shoes, a lighter, or just for fun. Eli is a peaceful man who only acts in self defense, and becomes a warrior with unbelievable killing skills when he is challenged. After the war and the “Big Flash”, Eli was guided by a higher power to a hidden book and given the task of protecting the book and taking it to its final destination. Eli guards the book with his life, because he knows that the book is the only hope that humanity has for its future.

Do you think all Christians are mamby pamby wimps, brainwashed by other impoverished, boring, misled and/or pathetic souls looking for a crutch or worse, power.  True Christians all have one thing in common, believing that the only way to Heaven is by embracing what Jesus Christ did on the cross of Calvary,namely dying in our place so that we would not have to pay for our own sin.  He was a substitute for us.  God makes Christians in all shapes/sizes and personalities.  He knows best where our gifts can be used in the world and he positions his children in those strategic places.  Denzel is riviting in this role and powerful in his Christian walk.    God is Amazing.
