There can be a relationship between sin and a particular malady. But it would be very wrong to generalize and say that any sickness or malady is directly related to some sin. This is the mistake that Job's comforters made, and it is a mistake that often people make even subconsciously in their mind when a person is quite sick or afflicted, and unfortunately, there are those evangelists today who would sort of foster that false concept: "If you just had enough faith, you could be healed. Just get your life straightened up; God wants to heal everybody. And if you're not healed, it's because there's something wrong in your life, something wrong with your faith." And all they are doing is heaping heavy burdens upon the poor sick people that they don't need, making them feel guilty or even worse in their condition. God has a special judgment, I'm sure, for such 'comforters.'

This movie is gaining popularity among Christians in the U.S. and yes I have seen it.

I think of myself as a left leaning Christian and I wish I could say that Christianity played positive role in the radical movements of the late 60’s that gave our country so much progress. I wish it was possible to “reclaim” Christianity for the left.

To some extent I do think that is possible.

However, I was disappointed to find that they “strait washed” a character in this movie who in real life was a bisexual man who died of AIDS. I guess Christian cinema has a long way to go with homophobia 😞

I know the “hippies” were mostly rich, white, college educated Berkeley students who did a lot of gentrification and culture appropriation, but there WAS a movement that was actually radically against poverty, prejudice, pollution, war, and authoritarianism.

This movie is good if you are into the idea of a hippie Jesus. If you want to have a connection between Christianity and radical activism I would suggest looking into Black southern church history. If you want to learn about hippie history, I would watch “trial of the Chicago 7”

The portrayal of drug use in this movie is surprisingly progressive for what I could have been IMO. It portrays taking ecstasy at a concert as genuinely fun, harmless, and even a sweet moment between a young couple! ❤️ it is also genuinely sympathetic to people with drug addiction and doesn’t stigmatize it IMO

Idk this just ended up being a weird tangent 😅

Jesus Revolution: A Story of bold Love & Spiritual Awakening

Jesus Revolution, looking back and moving forward The movie, “Jesus Revolution” was a wonderful reminder of my early years as a young believer. By God’s grace, I was blessed to have lived in the middle of that beautiful experience. What follows is a summary of that revolution. The world needed a revolution then. It needs another one now. In the 1970s, a powerful movement swept through the…

“DECISIONS” By Faith Walk (FB):

“I wanted to keep him here with me while I am in these chains for preaching the Good News, and he would have helped me on your behalf. But I didn’t want to do anything without your consent. I wanted you to help because you were willing, not because you were forced.” —Philemon‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

“God does not want anything we do for Him or give to Him to be given out of necessity or out of pressure. God never uses pressure tactics on man.” —Chuck Smith

Paul is honest in his plea on behalf of Onesimus, but doesn’t force his needs or opinion on the decision he is asking Philemon to make. By leaving room for the Holy Spirit to do His work he reveals his faith in God’s Word.

“But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.” —John‬ ‭14‬:‭26‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

With good intentions we rush to advise others but forget that the burden of believing and acting on how to make godly decisions is on the individual. Decisions reflect the heart values and spiritual maturity of a person. We can advise them to spend time in prayer and consider God’s instructions but the final say is between them and God.

“At this critical moment in history, the Lord needs men and women who know how to make wise choices.” —David Jeremiah

“Every person who believes that Jesus is, in fact, the Messiah, is God-born. If we love the One who conceives the child, we’ll surely love the child who was conceived. The reality test on whether or not we love God’s children is this: Do we love God? Do we keep his commands? The proof that we love God comes when we keep his commandments and they are not at all troublesome. Every God-born person conquers the world’s ways. The conquering power that brings the world to its knees is our faith. The person who wins out over the world’s ways is simply the one who believes Jesus is the Son of God.” ‭—1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭(MSG‬‬)

Thoughts on Jesus Revolution

I don’t usually write movie reviews, but here I am. Sometimes a movie is impactful and I feel Jesus Revolution falls under that. It left me with a lot of thoughts and feelings. So here we go. I want to start by saying I usually struggle with films made by Christians. However, I often give them a chance because I am hoping they will capture the love and faith in Christ that I have experienced.…

First He rebuked the wind and the waves, and then He rebuked the disciples. He rebuked them for having no faith. Why would He do that? The ship was full of water; it looked like it was going to sink. Why would He rebuke them for not having faith? Because you go back to the beginning, what He first said, "Let us pass over unto the other side." He didn’t say, "Let’s go under." He said, "Let us pass over to the other side." And when Jesus said, "Let us pass over to the other side," there’s no way they could go under. You see, this is God speaking, and God’s word must come to pass. And that’s why He rebuked them; for little faith. Because they had His word that they were going to go over to the other side. He had told them, "Now, be careful what you hear." They weren’t careful what they heard, you see. And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” (Mark 4:41) ~ Chuck Smith

...Quite often we have [this] kind of a thought of a direct retribution from God when calamity comes to us... [it is the same] attitude that was expressed by the men who came to comfort Job in his affliction. "You must have done something horrible, man. Just confess to God and get it over with. Why are you going on in your misery? Don't try and tell us you're innocent. No one would suffer like this unless he were an evil person." And yet, the whole story of Job, seeing the whole picture as we have that opportunity in the Bible, we understand that it was not God's judgment upon Job for some sin that he had done. Satan was afflicting him in order to prove to God that Job would fail. [Well, the devil lost that bet! Yet we still side with the hecklers.] "God is punishing me for something that I have done," or something that I did. And thus, "this hardship, or this difficulty, or this painful experience, is coming to me as God's judgment upon me because of some wrongdoing." If that were so, I wouldn't be here tonight. You see, if God brought that kind of a direct cause/effect judgment upon people, then God would have to be fair in His justice system. And thus, every person who did the same kind of a deed would have to receive the same kind of a judgment for it. There is not that cause and effect type of judgment at the present time– there will be [at the end of time,] and God will be just when He judges, because it will be completely equal judgment– but right now, God is seeking to draw men to Himself. [Right now we have the amazingly patient mercy of God towards us sinners. Why? Because] Jesus said, "I didn't come to condemn the world, but that the world through Me might be saved" ( John 3:17 ).
