A.D. The story continues

They have done it again. I'm talking about Roma Downey and Mark Burnett. Taking up where they left off after their smash hit THE BIBLE they have now produced a new mini-series:
"A.D. The Bible Continues"
Simply put, we now have a T.V. block-buster that puts the Book of Acts into film and traces the phenomenal growth of Christianity in the years immediately after the resurrection.
Thank God for this husband and wife team who put their faith into action and put their personal fortune at risk to bring the message of Christ to the screen.
With no financial backers and only thinly disguised derision from Hollywood their production of "THE BIBLE"  broke viewing records and earned millions in revenue.
Pauline and I have just watched "A.D." and we confidently expect that this production will do the same.
So much for the sceptical libertines who trash the christian faith at every opportunity. God, with or without the support of BIG MONEY or the politically correct set, will have the last word and end it with an exclamation mark !

JUBILATE.

The Wonder of it All.

My friend, John Terstege, was excited the other day when I called round. His wife Alice cuts my hair once every two weeks and John is sometimes there to join the conversation. This time he showed me the new title of a book on seeds.(The triumph of seeds. Thor Hansen) The author, a molecular biologist, was struggling to make the imponderable simple to the lay man's mind. This is what he came up with by way of a definition of a seed:

"A SEED IS A BABY PLANT IN A BOX WITH IT'S PACKED LUNCH ".

Marvellous.

 I thought about that quotation especially at the weekend, being Resurrection Sunday.

Jesus said concerning His crucifixion : 

"EXCEPT A GRAIN OF WHEAT FALL INTO THE GROUND AND DIE, IT ABIDES ALONE,BUT IF IT DIE IT WILL BRING FORTH MUCH FRUIT.

These pictures sort of sum the whole thing up. At least they do to my mind.

Jubilate.
