Opening Africa's Creative Space

Picture this. You're standing in one of the most remote corners of Tanzania, East Africa, in a place called O'lerumo. Around you are a few bomas (collections of huts) - you're in a Maasai village comprising maybe 200 people, living more or less in a dozen family groupings. There are no cars here. There are no wells here. There is no electricity here. There is no one here with more than a high school education, and even those who have finished elementary school are in the slim minority. You're st… Continue

Film Champions the Cause of the Unemployed

This info is about a film company that is making a film that inspires hope. They may not be labeled as a "Christian film company" but their intentions and goals are inspiration. In October, the U.S. Department of Labor stated that the unemployment rate rose to 10.2 percent, the highest since April 1983. In this time of uncertainty people need to know that their struggle is not forgotten and that there is still hope. One film company, Either/or Films, is doing exactly that with their next… Continue

Freely you have received...

The root word for "grace" in Latin is the same as for "free", as in 'no-cost'. I don't know about Greek, but feel quite confident it is similar, for that is what it means. The whole point of God's forgiveness is that it is "free", not by anything that we can do to deserve it, to "pay" it or to atone for it - the whole price has been paid, we get out ticket for simply accepting it. So far so good. Yet every Worship time at my church, the screen shows me that worship is not free, a… Continue

YOUR CHALLENGE - Tell of How Jesus Christ Can Deliver from Pronography Addiction

Addiction to pornography is impacting men and marriages. It is a rapidly growing industry globally. The messages of pornography promote fornication and adultery indirectly. The sanctity of the covenant of marriage is assaulted. Personal holiness just for the sake of a righteous walk with Christ is attacked. Getting ensnared is easy due to the Internet. Getting free is difficult but there are proven pathways. Sadly studies indicate that women are getting more involved in this kind of spiritual… Continue

http://iamsecond.com

So I just stumbled across this website; I don't know that much about them, but aesthetically and from a production value standpoint it is well put together. It appears that they have people's life stories who have been changed by God. Some famous, some not so famous. A few things that I was instantly wondering about however. If the creators of this website, of this movement are wanting to "share" the gospel and tell how God has changed his or her life and can do that for you... I think that wa… Continue

Refill Your Cup SO You Can Fill the Cups of Others

Its Time to Pull Out that Dream Project

It seems now days you cant step foot inside a church without coming across some type of video equipment. Be it projectors, screens, cameras or edit equipment, the list goes on. The point is, today's church as bought into video technology in one way or another. A good number of these churches are able to hire a full or part time media guy to make sure it all happens and thats where my story begins. To all you fellow media directors and producers, we have a tremendous responsibility. Not only to… Continue

Delivering To The Tribes

I've been talking with many people about delivery of visual media to various audiences that are outside the 'mainstream'. I think there are many tribes of people who share some common beliefs that make them Christian, but there are many other passions that make them very different when it comes to creative things like music, art, and film. More importantly, there are tribes who might be open to spiritual stories that we are telling but are not part of our own tribe. The question I pose is wheth… Continue

Painting Revelation chosen by BOOKLIST for top ten

My strange, cross-breed video in which I teach Revelation while viewers see my painting (www.paintingrevelation.com) has been chosen by Booklist, the library review magazine, as one of their top ten religion videos of the year. The Nov 15th edition will be all about religion and spirituality. I'm very honored--and hope this is a nudge from the Lord to get to work on filming with my Acts painting. Continue

Assurance of Salvation is Always a Hot Topic - SO Make a Video!

Can a born again believer have eternal security? There is much talk about assurance of salvation. But there is not much biblical understanding. God can use you to sow good seeds on this topic. You can use your video talents to reach many. The truth will set the captives free. Here are links to fuel your research.

Prayerfully consider making a video dealing with spiritual warfare directly or indirectly

Spiritual warfare is biblical and it is real. Most Christians ignore the subject while others distort it. You can be used by God to bring a biblical and balanced perspective.
