Acts 20:24

Acts 20:24 "However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me- the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace."

Isn't God's grace a wonderful thing?

The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian review

I just went and saw The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian. First off, I'll just say WOW. There that's done. Anyway, this movie was amazing. I'm a huge C.S. Lewis fan and this movie was better than the book. I thought the first one was good, this one makes it look like a Barney rerun. They took a great story, changed a few things, and came out with a story that has a moral lesson, drama, action, adventure, comedy, tear jerker moments, romance, great battle sequences, everything. Take just about ever movie genre there is and this movie probably has elements from it. The visual effects are great, as they were in the first one, the acting is superb, the battle sequences large, suspenseful, and masterfully done, the story is great, and the romance is there without being at all overpowering. Ben Barnes, a somewhat newcomer to film as this is only his third movie, is great. It's a wonder that he's gone as long as he has without being discovered for a major movie. Definitely an actor to keep an eye on. All the children have grown up, which makes the movie a bit more grownup. There are some changes from the book, and I was a bit apprehensive. But, while this movie doesn't follow the book scene for scene, it captures the spirit of the movie and has all the same elements, just in a slightly different order. It does follow some scenes exactly as the book has them though. I had high expectations for this movie and it not only met them, it surpassed them. Four stars out of five.

Where is God?

Where is God when life is hard and scary? Amidst these times of cyclones in Myanmar killing tens of thousands, earthquakes in China killing thousands, and closer to home, a tornado in Picher, Oklahoma wiping an entire town off the face of the earth, it's easy to ask this question. all of these natural disasters are hard to face. And I have to admit, I'm scared. The relatives of people in my church died in the tornado. It's easy to ask "where is God?" But he tells us where He is. Psalm 46:1-3 "God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore will we not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though it's waters roar and foam and mountains quake with their surging." Verse 7 says "The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress." These verses describe a bit of what's going on right on. But verse 1 and verse 7 tell us where God is. He's right here. In the midst of pain, uncertainty, and grief, He's right here. He knows whats happening and He cares. When life gets hard. When life is scary and unfair, run to God. He'll always be our fortress, our strong tower, our ever-present help in trouble.

Reminder

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life." I know that we've all had this verse memorized since about four or five, but it's nice to be reminded occasionally.
