Netflix is developing adaptations of The Chronicles of Narnia

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , ,

According to Jon Porter of The Verge, Netflix is doing a new series of films based on C.S. Lewis’ seven books.  No doubt the Netflix versions will water down the books’ Christian themes of redemption and grace, take God out of it, and introduce LGBTQ+ characters, something the Christian author would never have allowed.  Here’s the story:

Netflix has obtained the rights to The Chronicles of Narnia and will be producing “new series and film projects” based on the children’s fantasy books. The seven titles released between 1950 and 1956 have already provided the inspiration for numerous adaptations and Hollywood films. Continue reading →

Despite Revoice ‘Gay Christians,’ Crowds of Ex-Gays March to Celebrate Freedom from Sin

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , ,

“Freedom to March, however, is a group of former homosexuals who actively reach out to practicing homosexuals with the message of the Gospel. And unlike Revoice, it’s a Gospel which has wonder-working power.”

Yes, same-sex attraction (SSA) is a sin. Clearly, Jesus taught that desires of the heart can be sinful and unlike heterosexual attraction, homosexual attraction can never be properly oriented or harnessed for the glory of God. SSA is a deviation of the natural, an offense to the supernatural, and an indication of an unconverted heart. … Continue reading →

Hillsong Church Becomes Own Denomination, Splits From Australia’s Largest Pentecostal Group

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ ,

The ramifications for this move is stunning if you think about it – they should be officially registered as a “cult” since they are accountable to no one.
