God's Omni-abilities: the movie Babette's Feast

Details: Hits: 15291

babettes_feast Babette’s Feast is a powerful tale of the spiritual dynamics associated with living a life integrated with the life of Christ, led by the Holy Spirit. Babette, a servant to two elderly sisters in 19th century Denmark, chooses to use her talents and money to honor her employers. The unexpectedness of this gift, coupled with its amazing extravagance, disorients and disjoints the normally calm, if overly tepid life of the two sisters and their friends in the isolated village.

(500) Days of Summer

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16:

Is love possible apart from God? Before the opening scene, a note, part explanatory, part warning, appears in (500) Days of Summer: This is not a love story. (500) Days of Summer is an entertaining, interesting, creatively-directed movie with great music and good acting. It also serves (unwittingly) as a cautionary tale of the hollow, painfully wistful nature of desiring love apart from God.

Separating Ourselves from God: the movie Memento

Details: Hits: 12978

Memento is about Leonard, a man who claims to be suffering from memory loss—he can only keep a memory for a few minutes, and then it is gone. He is on the hunt for his wife’s murderer, and to maintain memories he keeps records of events via Polaroid snapshots and tattoos of information all over his body. But as has been noted in a few newspaper and magazine reviews, Leonard is not really honest with himself, and he is not honest with us, although we are not completely aware of this dishonesty until the closing scene.
