New Giveaway! Pureflix **FREE** Six-Month Subscription!

 

Here we grow again!

It's summer, and summer brings all kinds of fun things to mind.  One thing all of us think about during summer vacations are summer camps.  And, lucky for us, Pure Flix is holding a Family Camp this summer for all of us.

I don't know about you, but I am finding it increasingly difficult to find good family programming on tv anymore.  If someone isn't shedding their clothes or taking God's name in vain, then my favorite channels and TV shows are adding in story lines and characters I don't agree with morally.  I'm exhausted from having to be on guard against these things, and honestly, I hate having to give up "my" shows because they are adding in story lines I disagree with.

That's why I was so thrilled to find out that Pureflix (who offers the largest variety of God-honoring content anywhere) is going to be holding a Family Camp.  Here are some of the details in case you and/or your family would like to participate along with ours:

• It's going to be six weeks (including a bonus 7th week!) of family activities including games, movie nights, devotionals, and discussion questions!
  
  
• There is a **FREE** Family Camp Guide to help you and your family grow and meet other families in the #PureFlixFamilyCamp community!
  
  
• You can engage in the BEST curated family games, cooking activities, discussion questions, and movie night offerings this summer!
  
  
• There will be movie options available for everyone in your family, from Grandparents to younger siblings.
  
  
• Plenty of discussion questions to help you and your family grow in your faith and make impacts in your family, community, and world.

New Christian Film to be Released - Church People

Have you heard about the new Christian film being released called Church People?  It's a hilarious new comedy starring Stephen Baldwin, Christian comedian Thor Ramsey, Hallmark's Erin Cahill, and many more Hollywood stars.

Here's what Christian Post has to say about this new family-friendly film:

"The trailer for the new film “Church People” — a family-friendly comedy that offers the timely reminder that the Gospel is enough — has been released.

Starring Stephen Baldwin and Christian comedian Thor Ramsey, with special appearances by Donald Faison, Joey Fatone, Billy Baldwin, Chynna Phillips, “Church People” tells the story of real people with real struggles. The film follows their unique paths to discovering what faith in Jesus is all about.

According to the film's synopsis, "it all starts when ‘America's youth pastor,'" Guy Sides, realizes he’s stuck in the megachurch marketing machine and wants to find his passion again.

But when Guy attempts to get back to the heart of ministry, he is thrust into the throes of dissuading his zany church leadership from performing a strange and potentially blasphemous stunt for the upcoming Easter service while navigating his own personal problems.

"Church People" exposes the wacky heights some people will go in the evangelical subculture while revealing God’s out-of-this-world grace through a poignantly redemptive climax.”

The movie will be released via a Fathom Event release on March 13, 14 and 15.

In the trailer, the church senior pastor, eager to boost his attendance record, decides to hold “an actual crucifixion” during the church’s Good Friday service.

“For Good Friday and Easter, I need something big,” he says.

Guy, disturbed that it appears the Gospel isn’t “enough,” replies incredulously, “Bigger than the resurrection?”

The lighthearted film touches on the pitfalls of the entertainment-driven church — a topic often addressed by pastors and church leaders.

Recently, Bible teacher Christine Caine condemned the modern Church for placing its focus on being “cool” instead of holiness. She warned that unless the Body of Christ returns to a focus on “righteousness, joy, and peace,” revival will never happen.

“I’m on a campaign to pull prayer out of the basement and put it on the pulpit and put it front and center,” she said."

Paul, Apostle of Christ - New Movie on the Life of Paul Comes to the Nation's Theaters This Week!

Let me introduce you to two men - Paul and Luke.  You probably already know them.

Paul was an Apostle of Christ.  His letters were vital to the spreading of Christianity in the years following Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.  His writings now compose a majority of the New Testament.

Luke was a physician and disciple of Paul.  It is said he probably came to the saving knowledge of Christ through the teaching and friendship of Paul.

The new Andrew Hyatt movie, "Paul, Apostle of Christ," documents the close relationship between these two men.  The Director has based his film on Biblical accounts and Scripture.  Here is the official trailer:




Films like these are often hard watch because of the extreme suffering and abuse early Christians went through when the Church was born.  But, we must them watch in order to remember, learn, and love the world around us.
The Holy Spirit breathed great promise, wisdom, and knowledge through these two men.  Paul, Apostle of Christ focuses on Paul and Luke's sharing of Jesus' message of love, redemption, and forgiveness.  They shared it with a new church who, in turn, shared and spread it throughout the world.  We can thank these two men for the Church we so love and adore today.



Please watch the video below to see how Paul and Luke's story is still relevant to today's Church:

Paul, Apostle of Christ will open Nationwide the week before Easter on Friday, March 23.  It is rated PG-13 for violent content and disturbing images.  To purchase tickets, please visit the movie's website.

I hope you will join me this weekend to watch this very important film.  Christians are showing America that we can hold an important key to Hollywood box office sales.  No longer do we have to be recipients of violent films, horror films, or other dark, anti-Biblical material.

This past weekend's surprise box office draw of, "I Can Only Imagine" shows Hollywood that if they will produce Christian-based and family-friendly films, audiences will show up in droves.

Please help support more family-friendly and Bible-based films.  Come see a film about a man that went from becoming the most notorious persecutor of the church to its most powerful proponent!  Two men, bound together in their love for Christ.  Leaving their final message for the world - "Love is the only answer."

See you this weekend at the movies!

*Many thanks to Propeller Consulting, LLC, Collide Media Group, and Columbia TriStar Marketing Group, Inc. for providing tickets to see the movie on its release in exchange for this promotional post.  Opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation.
