Which Bible Character Are You?

Hi <<First Name>>,

Have you taken those quizzes that identify you with a celebrity, personality type, or eating style? You know, answer nine questions and have deep insight into yourself. I did one comparing myself to women in the Bible.

This morning I thought about that quiz. Today I feel like Eve. She immediately covered up after sinning by making clothes for herself and Adam. Ever since, we've been covering ourselves up.

We do it with clothes, makeup, and other things. Advertisers tell us it enhances our looks. But I know better. I use clothing and makeup to hide things I don't like about myself. Names like cover-up and concealer even imply hiding something.

What if we chose one day to go without covering up and went without everything else we use to make ourselves more presentable. Would we notice the changes in each other, or would we be concerned about what others are thinking of us?

Most Saturdays you'll see the "real me." No makeup, no carefully styled hair, little jewelry, just the me I see every morning in the mirror. And I'm OK with that because I want to be like the original Eve who walked closely with God and didn't have anything to cover up.

From the screening room,

Industry Interview
Movie Ministry Founder Dr. Marc Newman
by Angela Walker

Dr. Marc Newman is president of MovieMinistry.com, a company dedicated to providing pastors, lay leaders, and ordinary Christians with the tools necessary to use movies as a way of reaching out to others with the Gospel of Christ.

We began our conversation while Marc was in his car waiting for his wife, who was in Kroger.

Can you talk about the inception of MovieMinistry?

Marc:        MovieMinistry started when a group of guys got together and three of them had been involved in the build-out of some ministry-related websites. My background is that I spent over 20 years as a college professor writing and speaking about the persuasive power of film from a Christian perspective. They got together with me and formed this company.

We knew film is the language of this culture. It's important for us. Look at all the stories in the New Testament and

Healing Comes to the Broken-Hearted in Sunshine Cleaning

by Marc T. Newman, Ph.D.

If Henry David Thoreau was right when he said, “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them,” then Sunshine Cleaning is a film about some exceptional, desperate people who learn to sing.

Drive Thru History: Rome - DVD
Drive Thru History: Rome - DVD

by Janet Opst

"This series is truly the best presentation of history I've ever seen. Unlike others, which can be dry for a younger audience, this series will captivate your children (for mine it did and their ages are 12, 10, and 7.) and they will remember the material as they read their historical fiction from the same time era. It would be well worth having as part of your DVD collection."
