What To Do When You Feel Like Giving Up (Job 1:1-2:10) What to Do When You Feel Like Giving Up – a sermon about what the Bible says about suicide and the need to not give up. The Bible shows in this passage the enormous amount of emotional energy that can lead someone to consider giving up.

Dying to Control by Leon Hayduchok In Dying to Control by Leon Hayduchok, the author presents an analysis of our behavior based on the lessons from account of Genesis 2-3. In summary, Hayduchok states that “humans want to be like God, knowing good and evil. We want to be in control, doing what seems right in our own eyes, eating more and more forbidden fruit as we try to enjoy the ride on the merryless-go-round.” He further summarizes this thesis with the...

The Book of Revelation Made Clear by Tim LaHaye and Timothy E. Parker The Book of Revelation Made Clear by Tim LaHaye and Timothy E. Parker is a beginner’s guide to the book of Revelation. There have been many guides for beginners for Revelation. Yet, this one has the distinction of giving you a quiz before each chapter begins.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

Last updated on: June 16, 2018 at 9:48 pm By Jim Erwin

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), I have to admit, was a great film. It had a fresh outlook and contained what I would call a Star Wars vibe. The film had a fresh take on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it did not disappoint. As I watched it on the big screen with a room full of people, I realized that the people watching (along with me) were here to just have fun enjoying a... Read more

Gravity (2013)

Last updated on: August 12, 2014 at 11:01 am By Jim Erwin

Gravity (2013) Gravity (2013), starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, is Castaway in space. The first twelve minutes of the film are one long shot. Then after an accident in space, the movie turns into a quest for one woman astronaut’s will to survive. I liked the 90-minute movie, although I was looking for more action. Interestingly, while the film seemed to be about one person and their ability to survive in extremely difficult conditions, some people have found... Read more

Star Trek (2009) Star Trek (2009) is a reboot (produced and directed by J.J. Abrams) of the classic Star Trek series of movies. The story takes place in an alternate reality due to time travel by both Nero and the original Spock (Leonard Nimoy).

I found this film to be a great introduction to general audiences of the Star Trek series. The... Read more
