Check this out moviegoers!

Los Angeles (E! Online) - Shia LaBeouf has starred in three straight No. 1 movies. Kirk Cameron hasn't seen his face on a multiplex screen in seven years. Guess who's the hottest ticket heading into the weekend? In terms of advance sales, Cameron's Fireproof, an ultra-low-budget marriage-minded family drama opening on about 800 screens, has smoked LaBeouf's $105 million, opening-everywhere thriller Eagle Eye.

Fireproof accounted for a whopping 40 percent of all advance sales this week on Fandango, the ticket service said today. Eagle Eye was a distant second, representing 17 percent of sales. Through Wednesday, Fireproof was leading the week with 23 percent of all advance sales. No other movie, “Eagle Eye” included, was even in double digits.

A 1980s teen idol of Growing Pains fame, Cameron, now 37, has become better known this decade for his work with his ministry and TBN show, The Way of the Master.

An interesting angle on "Joy"

I was just reading in 1 Thessalonians this morning, where Paul is telling the church that they are his "glory" and "joy" due to their response to the gospel that was preached to them and their continued faithfulness and spiritual growth inspite of severe persecution. I started to think about those who lack joy in their lives. Everday Christians who go day in and day out without really ever experiencing "Joy." Could it be that we sometimes look for "Joy" in places where "Joy" cannot be found? And thn we wonder what is missing form our Christian Walk and our experience with God?? Remember that Paul's "Joy" came from the fruit of sharing his faith and spreading the gospel! Could it be that we need a little nudge to go out and plant those seeds so that our "Joy" may be found in the fruit of other peoples faith in Christ?

Until the nets are full...

23 Minutes in Hell




Okay so a break from facebook right now is in need, so I can get back to my favorite past time next to (making online flairs) and that is blogging on blogspot. Just the other day I was at my local Christian bookstore and I picked up a copy of a book that has caught my eye for so long, but I never thought to give it a read until the other day as I seemed almost drawn to this book by Bill Wiese, "23 Minutes in Hell." Now I know what your thinking that did this guy really spend 23 minutes in hell? I tell you go get the book and be convinced by his experience and multitude of scripture references to back up that experience. I cannot put the book down and even had trouble sleeping last night, but my sleep deprivation comes out of the reality of hell and the brutal fact that poeple are going there everyday, every hour and every minute. This is perhaps one of the most disturbing yet, meaningful books I have ever read! So if your looking for something to read and want to be challenged, broken, enlightened and sent forth, then by all means check this book out. This does bring up the topic of hell and the many views that others may have on the topic. Is hell a real place? Is there real fire? Who will go there? Who is there now? Why was it created? all good questions that can be discussed in this post.
