By Brock Mayer I was driving home from a shift out in beautiful but remote Southeastern Oklahoma, when I decided to turn on the radio. I pushed the “seek” button a few times until a set of lyrics arrested my attention. (Note: Before I continue further, I don’t recommend anyone to look up this song […]
By David Jones Jack and Jane sit on separate sides of the couch. Cold indifference on one side, anger and irritability on the other. As a final step before an impending divorce, they now sit in my therapy office as strangers who fell out of love. The aftermath of a once vibrant romance. But how […]
“It’s tempting to drop Everything Everything once you’ve begun . . . it’s hard not to be consumed by this tale of doomed love.” – The Times, London As a teenage kid I was heavily into romantic comedies and movies that gave me butterflies. Oftentimes I found myself feeling in love while watching movie adaptions from […]
By Warren Smith. First published on Herescope by Discernment Research Group. “A little leaven leaventh the whole lump.” Galatians 5:9 The Shack is being described as a “Christian” novel and is currently ranked number one on the New York Times bestseller list for paperback fiction. Many believers are buying multiple copies and giving them to friends and family. The Shack reads […]
By an anonymous author. “You are great, O, Lord God, for there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.” 2 Samuel 7:22 On a late afternoon this past year I drove out to the Sacramento Wildlife Refuge in California and parked […]
We had to be decisive about what would make the cut for our latest documentary about video games: Controller: Level 3 Counterfeit Controversy. Unfortunately League of Legends-which was already edited-didn’t make it, just for the sake of time. So we decided to turn that into a new LED. Now for the first time in Little […]
It all started with an action figure for kids, but the Max Steel franchise has become a lot bigger than that. With a comic book and an animation series on Cartoon Network and DisneyXD, you would think that toy company Mattel has reached its limit. But the contrary is happening. In three days the new Max Steel […]
The Notebook, The Last Song, Dear John, A Safe Haven, The Choice; do these movies sound familiar to you? Every woman has probably seen at least one of Nicolas Sparks’ film adaptions. It is safe to say that Sparks rules the market with his romantic books and movies. But what are these movies really saying? […]
There was only one thing in the world for which a 7-year old Dutch girl would get up at 6 am and turn on the TV: Pokémon. Even though I was not raised a Christian, my parents did not like the idea of me and my brother watching animals fighting each other. Too much aggression, […]
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Daniel 12:4 In the original Hebrew, this verse was meant to say a Biblical knowledge shall be increased. How accurately is this prophecy being fulfilled […]
This blog was first published on ADvindicate. “Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men” (KJV, Is. 29:13). Worship is central to […]
Candy Crush, Farmville, Plants vs Zombies, Clash of Clans and Farm Heroes Saga. I think we probably all played at least one video game in our lives, and more likely a free game. I was addicted to the free Facebook game Farmville, playing it during classes at college. What is it that makes us love […]
“Did you read the article in the Metro (Dutch free newspaper) this morning?”, my mother texted me last Friday. “It’s about the Muppets, apparently mothers are upset about it because it’s too sexual and children watch it.” It wasn’t just coinsidence that, as I was on the train on my way home that evening, the […]
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 Satan knows the Bible and he knows it very well. It was by using Scripture that he tried to tempt Christ Who is the Word Himself (John 1:1-5). I can imagine Satan with a […]
Ever since Maxis started with the first The Sims game in the year 2000, it was a hit. Millions of copies were sold, especially among teenage girls. With the ability to influence millions of girls in their puberty, is it possible that these girls don’t play with life, as the slogan intends, but that a darker […]
