Today's Apostasy

Movie Censorship and American Culture
From the earliest days of public outrage over "indecent" nickelodeon shows, Americans have worried about the power of the movies.

Whether censorship protects the vulnerable or suppresses the creative, it is part of a broader culture war that breaks out recurrently as Americans try to come to terms with the market, the state, and the plural society in which they live.

Overseas, the film faced widespre...

The beauty of Christ as seen Through the eyes of C. H. Spurgeon In The Best Beloved we are told a glimpse of Him has won our hearts, and made Him dearer to our eyes than light. In The Rose and The Lily we are to regard Christ as a luxurious delicacy, as a rare and ravishing delight. In Under the Apple Tree we find the joys of fellowship with God are written in marble. In Love Joying in Love we are asked to eat and drink all the stores of the banquet of love. In My Garden - His Garden we learn we have not any idea of what holiness, and glory, and bliss shall yet be ours. In A Refreshing Canticle we are assured Christ will not let His people forget His love. In The Best of the Best we see all good things meet in Christ; in Him all the lines of beauty are focused. "...yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend..." Song of Solomon 5:16
