The Myth in “The Message”: Does Islam Really Protect Women?

The claims made in ”The Message” expose the film as cinematic fiction.

Written by Scarlett Clay | Friday, June 26, 2026

The teachings and outcomes of Islam regarding the treatment of women stand in marked contrast to Christianity. Only the Bible provides consistent guidance that values women and truly protects them from misuse.   This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of a cinematic and cultural icon of the Islamic world. What the movies Ben Hur and... Continue Reading

The Quiet Theology of “All Creatures Great and Small”

Compassionate and attentive to His creation. Human dominion was meant to mirror that same care.

Written by Beth Ferguson | Thursday, June 11, 2026

The quiet goodness portrayed in All Creatures Great and Small resonates so deeply. It echoes something true about the world God is restoring. And what the show captures in glimpses, Christ is bringing to fullness: a life where ordinary faithfulness, shared burdens, and steadfast love are not small things at all, but signs of His...

The Voice of “A Great Awakening”

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, are we not a nation in need of revival?

Written by Greg Morse | Friday, April 17, 2026

Policy-making may be useful for cleaning the outside of the cup, but the problem is the inside, the spiritual. We need godly politicians, but we need real preachers far more.   Our world is prone to spiritual slumber. It always has been, and until that trumpet blast at Christ’s return, it sadly shall be. But... Continue Reading

Movie Review: “A Great Awakening”

The movie "pulls no punches" on the gospel message.

Written by Rev. Mark J. Henninger | Wednesday, April 8, 2026

“A Great Awakening” portrays Whitefield as a faithful proclaimer of the good news of liberty in Jesus’ blood and righteousness, and makes the organic connection between The Great Awakening, the American Revolution, and the Constitutional Convention quite apparent.   Lesley and I just returned home from seeing the premier showing of the movie, “A Great...

On the Trail of the Covenanters

Joshua Kellard relates why the witness of the Scottish Covenanters is worthy of the earnest attention of evangelical Christians today. The first two episodes of The Covenanter Story are now available.

Written by Joshua Kellard | Wednesday, February 18, 2026

In producing these videos, our goal has not been primarily polemical. We are not seeking to defend the Covenanters in any systematic or thorough way from the claims of historians unfriendly to their aims and sceptical of their character or methods. … Rather, our goal has been to introduce the outline of the Covenanter story,...

Welcome to WALL-E’s World

Fighting for a human future in the age of the machine.

Written by Brad Littlejohn | Monday, January 12, 2026

The computer was sold to us as a “bicycle for the mind”: something to help us get more done and become more fit in the process, a productivity enhancer that also made us work harder. And perhaps it was for a short sweet spot in the 80s and 90s. But successive waves of digitization have given us... Continue Reading

Bringing Back the Bible

A new documentary sets the record straight on church-state separation.

Written by John Stonestreet and Timothy D Padgett | Monday, October 20, 2025

Off School Property corrects the record about the separation of church and state as applied to America’s government-run schools. In 1952, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that teaching the Bible during the school day was, in fact, legal, if it was privately funded, conducted off school property, and done with parental permission. LifeWise Academy has... Continue Reading

Fantastic Four Might Be Hollywood’s Strongest-Ever Pro-Life Movie

First Steps is the most pro-life Hollywood blockbuster in a long time, and maybe ever.

Written by Kylee Griswold | Saturday, August 2, 2025

The child’s touch brings his mother back to life. Children have a way of doing that, don’t they? The theme of life. The value of life permeates every action and reaction in the film.   The new Fantastic Four film is, in a word, fantastic. Its 1950s futuristic aesthetic was charming, with a dash of...

Os Guinness on the Truth Rising Documentary

When a civilization loses touch with what made it great.

Written by John Stonestreet | Wednesday, July 30, 2025

God has called us to this moment in history. We are not mere victims of the mindless forces of history, as secularists believe. Truth Rising explains both the civilizational moment and how Christians can be people of courage and agents of renewal.   Historian and philosopher Will Durant, author of the epic eleven-volume series The...

Retelling the Old, Old Story in Film

The biblical account is the account of the world, and Hollywood is catching on.

Written by John Stonestreet and Timothy D. Padgett | Wednesday, May 28, 2025

The success of the Bible in pop culture is evidence that, as much as we may try to reject it in our sin and cultural rebellions, this Story of the world cannot be fully suppressed. We need not update, massage, embellish, or water down the message of the Bible. It’s already the best Story in... Continue Reading
