Lessons Learned: Angels in the Outfield

Have you ever gone back and watched a movie and been amazed by how much you missed? Some movies are specifically made to be watched more than once; movies like Memento, Sixth Sense, and Fight Club.  We watch these movies and are shocked by the plot twist at the end, but when we go back and re-watch them, we realize there were instances throughout the movie that hinted to the twist. However, I was surprised by a movie that you probably wouldn’t expect to watch it again and discover anything new in the narrative. The movie was Angels in the Outfield: A “B movie” with an “A list cast,” which tells the story of a professional baseball team with a sub-par roster and an abysmal record making a miraculous comeback with some divine help.

Open Letter from a Concerned Christian

I am writing this letter as a wake-up call. Christians need to open their eyes to the world that is around them. We have been lulled into a false sense of safety and the world is using that to slowly chip away at everything that we stand for. I can’t think of any other time in recent history when Christian beliefs and values were being attacked as fervently as they are today. We are being attacked from every direction at all times. They attack our beliefs, our morals, our redemption, our God, our intelligence and even our character. What is even more disconcerting is there are wolves within the Christian community that are using their platform to attack Christianity from within and so many people are falling right into the trap without ever realizing they are being led astray.
