One day, when I was 21, a friend challenged me on the issue of abortion ... Questions like, “if an in-utero baby isn’t a human being, then what is it?” and “if an in-utero human being isn’t alive, then why is it growing?”

For once, VeggieTales proved that Christian media could compete with normal entertainment at the levels that really matter: quality of writing and entertainment value (fun).

- John chapter 16.

On an ocean background: “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John Chapter 16, verse 33. The ocean is an aqua color with large rocks coming out of the water.

'When they [Christians] speak of being ‘in Christ’ or of Christ being ‘in them’, this is not simply a way of saying that they are thinking about Christ or copying Him.'
White text on a black background with a portrait of C S Lewis, writer of Narnia, “when Christians say the Christ-life is in them, they do not mean simply something mental or moral. When they speak of being ‘in Christ’ or of Christ being ‘in them’, this is not simply a way of saying that they are thinking about Christ or copying Him. They mean that Christ is actually operating through them; that the whole mass of Christians are the physical organism through which Christ acts—that we are His fingers and muscles, the cells of His body.”

“If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.”
- Tim Keller

'Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance, the only thing it cannot be is moderately important.'
-CS Lewis.

If Jesus came back from the dead, his words can be trusted. No one can bring themselves back from the dead, except Jesus.
A greyscale meme with these words: “Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance, the only thing it cannot be is moderately important.”. - CS Lewis. Outreach. Behind the text is a wintry mountain with fir trees.

I like this short fairy tale! And it points to something that #Narnia writer CS Lewis talked about. Could all these myths - rags to riches, love lost, the hero's sacrifice, happy endings - be reflections of the real myth? The myth that really happened: The Bible

"What a fascinating stat, if you're interested in whether there is indeed a revival of interest in Christianity emerging:

Bible sales are up 22% "while total US print book sales only increased by less than 1 percent in that same time frame." "
- Christopher Landau
#bible #books #sales #USA
The meme has this text: A whopping 13.7 million copies were sold in the first 10 months of the year, compared to 9.7 million sold in 2019, according to Circana Bookscan. The development has left the industry surprised, delighted and perplexed. Black text on a white background. As if screenshotted on a phone.

The Jesus Film (1979) is the most-translated film ever. They are currently animating a new version for a Christmas release in 2026. They can use the existing audio tracks of the 1979 version - in 2,000 languages - for the animated film.

Almost 2,000 years after Jesus went back to Heaven, people can still put their hope in His sacrifice. Jesus Christ willingly died at the hands of evil people, so that we evil people have a solution. Jesus will forgive us for our deepseated rebellion against God - and gives us a new start :)
