God created us to be with Him. Our sins separate us from God. Sins cannot be removed by good deeds. Paying the price for sin, Jesus died and rose again. Everyone who trust in Him alone has eternal life. Life with Jesus starts now and lasts forever.
There is power in the preaching of the Gospel in this video given by a man who goes by the name of Propaganda. This video was made to go along with a conference called Dare to Share. Dare to Share’s purpose is to equip and empower students to go out into the world and share their faith with people who don’t know Jesus. Jesus has called us to go and make disciples of all the nation’s (Matthew 28:19) and it all starts with the life changing message of the Gospel.
This video does a phenomenal job at presenting the Gospel in a new and interesting way. The way the man articulates his words added with the words that pop up during the video all help to solidify the message and make the most important parts stick out to the viewer. (Example - “God, Yes, God.”) For each main word, he repeats it with the word yes in-between. Along with the articulation of the words, the background (the sounds, beats, and special effects), all help to create a flow, moving from one point to the next. It grabs your attention and you can’t help but listen to the story. God Our Sins Payment Everyone Life; there is power in this video!
The iPod people in an iWolrd? People with wires coming out of their ears, making them unaware and oblivious to the outside world. Cut off from any social interaction from others. Walking around mindlessly bumping into objects and people. These are some of the ways that Andrew Sullivan describes the people of New York City. He took a trip there and noticed something strange... something unexpected. It was much quieter than he thought it should be. He wrote this editorial to share to people what MP3s and iPods have done to our society. Sullivan uses a technique of description that makes the reader feel very suspicious of portable music players.
This technique he uses to catch the attention of his readers is mysterious. When he describes the headphones, he never actually uses the word, “headphones.” He describes them as, “white wires hanging down from their ears.” In doing this he makes the headphones look very suspicious. It leads one to believe that these white wires are some sort of electrical device that is keeping people from connecting with the outside world. He claims how they are “oblivious” to the outside world.
In my mind, this description makes me picture some sort of alien invasion where the aliens implanted devices in us to control our every move. While we all generally know what he is talking about, it helps us to stay interested on his topic and we begin to look forward to more pieces to the mystery of the “white wires.” (279).
The movie The Grey could have been a very epic movie for all those who love to see a thrilling and gut-wrenching movies. Everything in my opinion on the movie was great from the storyline to the effects except for two issues that made me lose respect for the movie. The first being the insane amount of profanity and the second being its extreme anti-God outlook. First off, the question we face is, is it necessary to insert crude language in a movie? Do those words really make a movie more appealing? I, personally, don’t believe that having 50 f-bombs is the only way to show the madness of a movie and what these men were put through. One of my friends, named Chase Rhodes, who also saw this movie agreed with me. He gave it a 6 out of 10 because of its numerous f-bombs. You could easily see all the fear, anger, and frustration, without the profanity, in the men’s eyes and by seeing the choices they make and how they interacted with each other! So why use those words! Along with the profanity, the whole movie had a very negative connotation towards God. There was only one man throughout it that had some sort of faith in God but as soon as he stepped out with that faith, he was immediately shut down and made to be a fool. Also, the main character, Liem Neeson, had blamed God for everything throughout the movie, and finally, near the end, he gave God one final chance to help him but nothing happened. This movie made God out to evil and non-existent in this world. By adding the profanity and an anti-God connotation The Grey lost a huge group of possible viewers. I believe they could have made this movie neutral in its cursing and neutral in its opinion on God, and it would have still been just as thrilling and gut-wrenching as it was for all its viewers.
