I have walked out of theaters during the movie on a few occasions, Titanic was the last one. Something about where the film was going just did not sit well with me. I may go and see Russell Crowe in the soon to be released Noah. I know what I would be in for, the producers ignored the Genesis account for their own purposes, but I won't have any idea on how it might affect the general public until I see at least part of it. It's more than interesting that the release of the film coincides with so very many attacks on God and His Word in the world and in our nation, maybe the most egregious being the stamp of approval being given in many states to same-sex marriage, the tentacles of which will reach our children in so many areas of their lives. I'm also reminded of the release of The China Syndrome 12 days before the Three Mile Island accident.
God controls the destinies of men and of nations. He does not need their approval or cooperation. Noah may foil (verb) its audiences concern about God's judgements on a rebellious nation or it may serve as a foil (noun) and reflect God's judgement and lead them to the truth of God's Word. I suspect and hope for the latter. The following post is from this past January 6th:
Genderless Neutered Society
It is astounding and it is numbing; yet one little sentence can make multitudes oblivious to it. That sentence might be something like 'Oh, people have always said that it's worse today than it ever was'. Well it is... terrifyingly so. There are tremors on this earth, both of nature and mankind, that should make even the most stouthearted to sweat. It's difficult to put the individual tremors into perspective. I readily admit that. Had they all not be happening at once, we might be able to focus on any particular tremor but as it is we read of them as if we were just reading one apocalyptic movie plot after another. And of course we have our vast array of barbiturates in the form of entertainments that can sedate us. Our society has collapsed. Whole professions have given in to the zeitgeist of the day-narcissism run rampant, journalistic news not the least of them, of which even conservative commentators giggle and twitter (the verb not the social media) as they read cue cards hoping not to mix up the facial expressions for a story on a costume malfunction with a terrorist bombing. The family unit is mocked as mockery itself has become the new family unit. Education has become indoctrination, law enforcement has become militarized as the military is becoming a conduit for a distorted view of diversity, making ugly that which should be beautiful.
Our government has become as a bloated tyrant with sauces and entrails dripping from its chin as it voraciously devours anything its iron teeth can masticate. We stumble along as a people with no idea where we came from or whom we are indebted to. Our pulpits without the cross of Christ are dry, lifeless, sun-bleached shells good only for shining up to place in a curio cabinet along with other porcelain figurines and relics of our past. We are becoming a genderless neutered society. Laws mean nothing unless the offense is against the genderless neutered society. Words have no origin, no real objective meaning, as images hypnotize and teach us. Logic is used as much as cursive writing and common sense as a curtsy.
The world itself is reeling, not from man-made global warming which is a by-product of everything written above but from design and implementation of a Creator who will not be mocked. If these are the last...of the last days then those who mock God will have their way....for a very, very short while and the tremors will turn into fissures, and the fissures chasms, and the chasms an abyss. Even so, Come Lord Jesus!
