Sony Pictures and producer Scott Rudin will turn the groundbreaking '70s sitcom Good Times into a feature film. They've set a writer, Phil Johnston, whose most recent credits include Wreck-It Ralph and Cedar Rapids. Rudin will produce the family comedy with Eli Bush.
While Rudin is selective about the remakes with which he becomes involved - Manchurian Candidate, Shaft and Sabrina - I think this has a lot of potential. The series, which aired on CBS from 1974-79, was one in a series of socially

Whenever America experiences a large natural disaster or "act of God," in insurance company lingo - the inevitable question resurfaces in Christian circles: What is God angry about? What did we do?It's a popular topic every time a storm hits, especially if it hits where we don't live. 

Usually, the apparent target of God's wrath is a particular situation or people group about which the person claiming clarity happens to feel very strongly ("It's the homosexual abortion doctor!

One woman's story of depression, loss of hope--and other things Christians aren't 'supposed' to deal with.
Most people assume that I started running to lose weight, and I tend to let most people think that. Because the real reason is a lot less glamorous, a lot darker.
I started running to beat depression. Notice I didn't call myself a runner, because that would imply that I am actually good at it. Me and my 13-minute mile-look out, world! But I didn't start running just to kick the normal d

Dred Scott--even his extraordinary names snaps with intensity--was a slave who didn't want to be a slave. He offered to purchase his freedom in 1842, but his mistress refused. He then did something a black man simply was not supposed to do: In 1846, he filed suit.

Having lived with his wife in two states that prohibited slavery, Scott argued that he and his wife were, and should be declared legally, free. His case worked its way through the court system until on March 6, 1857, the U.S. Supre

Many Christians do not consider carnality to be sin, after all they do not really indulge in any outright disobedience to God, but just allowing some little lapses in a way that they practice their Christianity as it is convenient for them.

This is a great mistake, as the bible tells us that we should lay aside every weight, and every sin that doth easily befall us, Hebrew 12:1. We have to deal with carnality before it gets us into a greater trouble.

Carnality simply means putting our trust in t

Megachurches and Mega-Idols

Have we made being famous for Jesus into an idol?
For most Americans, idolatry is a foreign concept. Most of us don't have bronze statues of a fat bald man sitting cross-legged on our mantles. Yet, idols are common to every culture. Idolatry often shows up in the way we take something that isn't God and treat it like a god. Fame, success and power are gods we serve as if they are immortal and have the power to bestow that immortality on us. Our idols are "immortality symbols"--things that ma

There are more slaves today than ever before--and you can do something to change that.
You might not think you have much of a personal connection to human trafficking, but if you are a believer, be reminded that you were a slave. Jesus redeemed you from that slave master called sin. And He has given us freedom. Therefore, as freed slaves, we should have a heart for those who continue in bondage--whether spiritual or physical, and in many cases, it's both. It should be our desire to continue

The Gospel changes everything--even the way we eat.
Back in 2005, The New York Times reported that for the first time in two centuries, "the current generation of children in America may have shorter life expectancies than their parents." The number one reason? Obesity. And while we spend more on healthcare than any other industrialized nation and yet we have more overweight and obese citizens than any other country. And every year, Americans throw away nearly half of their purchased food.
