From the producers of Mercy Streets comes a heart-pounding drama set against the world of illegal street racing! Ben and Pete Destin are extreme-living brothers on a collision course with eternity. When Ben chooses the narrow road, will Pete follow---or take a terribly wrong turn? Terrific for outreach. This is and excellent boys movie, and the salvation message is very clear.

The story is built upon the scripture Ephesians 2:1-3. Without Jesus we are “dead in our transgressions” and “objects of (His) wrath”. Steve (Dan Arthur) has always felt there was more to life than his dead end and boring life. But he doesn’t know how to go about changing it. He also feels trapped by an addiction that is only too common in our world today. The sudden loss of his job forces him to revaluate his priorities. His new life is difficult and unfamiliar.
This experience drives Steve into a place of prayer and renewed dedication. This film is the perfect illustration of the principle found in the popular book, “The Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren. Jeff’s film has a lot of polish, and I hope it will inspire its viewers to make their lives count for Christ. I review hundreds of films each year. We have all seen some Christian films that are extremely amateurish. Not this one! I highly recommend this film

Thoughtfully written tale that teaches children and adults the significance of God's plan in their life.
The Legend of The Three Trees is a timeless retelling of the classic folktale of three distinct trees, each with its own hopes, dreams and aspirations. We follow a beautiful olive tree blossoming in the valley, a knotty oak tree clinging to the shore and a strong pine standing high on the mountainside. They each dreamed of becoming great - perhaps a majestic treasure chest, or a magnificent sailing ship or maybe the tallest tree in the forest.
But their dreams didn't seem to come true. Disappointed and dejected, the trees despair about their existence until they each finally interact, in their own unique ways, with Jesus Christ in His birth, ministry and ultimate sacrifice. In these experiences, they learn that God has a special purpose for each of them in His kingdom.
Thoughtfully written and beautifully animated, The Legend of The Three Trees teaches children and adults alike the significance of their role in God's plan for the world.

He can't make the pros. He can't sing. He can't preach. Why did God put the ordinary Christian on Planet Earth?
You've seen films that show how the Lord has used the famous athlete, musician, or politician. Now see how the Lord can use the Ordinary Guy.
What happens when an ordinary guy who has made Christ the Lord of his "religion" suddenly makes him Lord of his career, his free time, his romantic interests, of his life?
Life does not get easier for Guy, now that he's a full-time Christian. Guy is suddenly alienated from his fiancée and her father, a long-awaited job opportunity is ruined, his fiancée's former boyfriend reappears, and the inner city ministry he began seems doomed to a violent end.
An ordinary guy might crack up under this combination of circumstances. But maybe Guy isn't so ordinary anymore, and his total commitment to Jesus Christ is enough to produce extraordinary results.

A dramatic journey of restoration and salvation. Starring: Burt Reynolds
In this dramatic journey of restoration and salvation, we witness the cruel realities in both the rough streets of Washington, D.C. and the sleepy rural town of Waterproof, Louisiana. Single mother, Tyree Battle (April Grace) struggles to keep her young son, Thaniel (Cordereau Dye) away from the gang-plagued city streets that he is mixed up in. Under severe gang pressure, Thaniel accidentally shoots Jewish shopkeeper Eli Zeal (Burt Reynolds) in a botched robbery attempt. Tyree, protecting her son from the law, kidnaps Eli and flees to her hometown of Waterproof that she has been estranged from for fifteen years, having left behind her long-suffering mother (Ja'net Dubois), her hard drinking older brother Big (the late Anthony Lee) and her slow-minded younger brother Natty (Orlando Jones).
Wounded and slowly recovering, Eli initially struggles with his forced captivity, but soon finds an understanding in the power of forgiveness. He begins to break down racial barriers by fitting in with the African American family that has taken him in - especially with Grandpa Sugar, (the late Whitman Mayo) the charmingly wise family patriarch.
The irrepressible faith of Tyree's mother is the glue that ultimately holds the family together as she welcomes back her 'prodigal daughter' with open arms. When Thaniel innocently looks at a portrait of Jesus and asks, "Who's the white dude?" she realizes how desperately her daughter and grandson need her guidance to submit to Christ.
The unplanned family reunion causes the entire family to confront their own deeply buried secret that eventually brings about an emotional and spiritual rebirth for all with the help of Eli.
Anyone who has ever struggled with faith will identify with this film. You'll want to stand up and cheer when a lost loved one comes home and overcomes internal struggles that help them make their way to the altar.

WOMAN THOU ART LOOSED is the story of Michelle Jordan (Kimberly Elise), a young woman raised in an environment of abuse and molestation at the hands of her mother’s boyfriend Reggie (Clifton Powell); which her mother Cassie (Loretta Devine) unwittingly condones. These circumstances lead young Michelle into the dark abyss of drugs, prostitution and prison. While incarcerated, Michelle sends Bishop Jakes (Bishop T.D. Jakes, playing himself) a letter requesting a visit. Jakes agrees to meet Michelle and soon uncovers the painful history that led to her personal demise. After conferring with the warden, he is successful in getting Michelle an early furlough with one stipulation—that she attend Bishop Jakes’ upcoming three day revival.
When Michelle, now a hardened inmate, is released from prison she chooses to stay at a halfway house rather than be under the same roof as Reggie. Still bitter and distrusting of the church community, her mother in particular, Michelle is forced to do some soul-searching that takes her on a journey of recovery and resolve. She encounters past suitors, friends, and family members who’ve contributed to defining the Michelle of today. What takes place at the church altar on the final night of the revival closes the chapter on the desolation felt by a young girl two decades prior, heals a relationship between mother and daughter, and ends a destructive relationship that should have stopped years before.

You know it's faith when it's all you have left.
Gary Busey, Margot Kidder and Howie Mandel star in Tribulation, the third in the Apocalypse series.
Police detective Tom Canboro (Busey) awakens from a coma only to discover that he is living in the time of the Great Tribulation.
The Rapture has occurred and the world has changed dramatically. In an interesting twist unique to this movie, millions have disappeared and no one who remains can even remember that they ever existed!
The Mark of the Beast is everywhere and those who have not accepted it are ruthlessly hunted down. The most hunted are Christian believers who are exposing the self-proclaimed Messiah as the devil himself. A top-quality drama.

Are there real, verifiable connections between the prophecies of the past and what is happening in the world right now? Are the signs of the apocalypse happening before our eyes? For example, the first sign is ''Plagues and Pandemics.'' From drug-resistant staph in American hospitals to outbreaks of Ebola in the Third World -- are new and deadly plagues the beginning of the end?
From the writings of medieval seers, to the words of today's most respected scientists, this documentary examines these questions, presenting varying viewpoints from skeptics and ''true believers.'' It looks back at ancient prophecies across every culture including the Mayan Calendar, the Chinese I Ching and the Bible, breaking apart the origin of these signs and looking for connections in our modern world.

Frank Rautenbach leads a strong cast as Angus Buchan, a Zambian farmer of Scottish heritage, who leaves his farm in the midst of political unrest and racially charged land reclaims and travels south with his family to start a better life in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. With nothing more than a caravan on a patch of land, and help from his foreman, Simeon Bhengu, the Buchan family struggle to settle in a new country. Faced with ever mounting challenges, hardships and personal turmoil, Angus quickly spirals down into a life consumed by anger, fear and destruction. Based on the inspiring true story by Angus Buchan the book was adapted for the big screen by Regardt van den Bergh and weaves together the moving life journey of a man who, like his potatoes, grows his faith, unseen until the harvest.
This inspiring true story of a rugged South African farmer, Angus Buchan, is set in the turbulent hills of the KZN Midlands. Angus' manic quest for material success is slowly transformed into a wild love for God and people, as he wrestles with faith, hope, natural disasters and tragic personal loss.

"From a knowledge of God's work, we shall know Him."
- Robert Boyle, Father of modern chemistry
"There is no ground for supposing that matter and energy existed before and were suddenly galvanized into action. It is simpler to postulate creation 'ex nihilo'...Divine will constituting nature from nothingness."
- Edmund Whittaker, Physicist
"The chain of events leading to man commenced suddenly and sharply at a definite moment in time, in a flash of energy and light."
- Robert Jastrow, Astronomer
"We can't understand the universe in any clear way without the supernatural." (sounds a lot like the first verse of the first chapter of Genesis to me.)

http://torrentspy.com/torrent/1105661/The_Case_For_A_Creator
http://torrentspy.com/torrent/830151/Lee_Strobel_The_Case_For_A_CreatorDamaging Evidence for Atheists:
1) Negative evidence - amino acids are light years away from producing a living cell. Non-living chemicals cannot arrange themselves into a living cell.
2) Cambrian explosion of life about 53 million years ago - in a sudden geological instant equivalent to about 2 minutes in a 24 hour period from the first single-celled organism about 3.8 billion years ago, a great explosion of life occurred accounting for most animal forms and body plans today. (The branching tree pattern of Darwin's theory is not seen anywhere in the fossil record unless we impose it with our own minds.)
3) 600 scientists with P.H.D.'s from major universities have signed a document called "A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism" which says, "We are skeptical of the claims for random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination for Darwinian Theory should be encouraged."
4) Exponential expansion of the universe - then, at the beginning was an infinitely small in size but infinitely large density of singularity which can only, therefore, be derived from that which is or Whom is infinitely existing. The temporal finitude, hence, is established in the past.
5) Background microwave radiation - this remnant heat from the universe's early history helps us see the ancient Kalam Cosmological Argument, which says: a) whatever begins has a cause, b) the universe began to exist, therefore, c) the universe has a cause; which points to a transcendent reality beyond space and time.
Evidence from Physics:
1) Life depends on many constants such as gravity - to show how extremely necessary this is, imagine a ruler stretched out in one inch increments all the way back to the center of the universe. To show how fragile life is where we exist in that one inch increment, if it was shifted just one inch back in terms of gravity, life could not exist. All life forms would literally be crushed.
2) Cosmological Constant - the expansion of the universe has a certain exponential rate that if it were to go faster, stars, galaxies and planets could not form. The equivalent to this fine tuning is like throwing a dart at earth from orbit and hitting a spot on the ground that is about the size of an atom. Similarly, the strong nuclear force binds atoms together. If it were to decrease even slightly, the only element left in the universe would be hydrogen. Chemical life could not be possible. If the universe is so fine tuned, maybe it has a Fine Tuner.
3) Escape Hatch Fails - the most popular theory to try to circumvent this fine tuning is Multiple Universes which says by chance ours is the one that came into being for us that could sustain life, but then you still have to ask the question who built the generator for all these different universes?
Fact: "The universe is finely tuned to sustain complex life by an intelligence that is beyond the constraints of time and space".
4) What would it needed to sustain life on a planet (the study of astrobiology)? E.g. oxygen rich atmosphere, liquid water, right land mass size, home star of the right temperature and mass, orbital path at the right distance to the sun, a moon large enough to stabilize the tilt of the planet and its tides, magnetic field strong enough to deflect the sun's radiation, habital regional zone of a spiral galaxy. All these are needed for complex life. The number comes to 20 variables. A conservative estimate for life on a planet is a chance of 1 to the power of 10 to the negative 15th. It makes life on another planet very improbable.
5) Why can we understand such complex quantum and large scale movements of the universe? It points to no fluke, but underlying purpose that it is designed for our discovery of it. Some evidences for this are:
* Life sustaining transparent atmosphere allows us to explore the distant universe.
* Precise distance of the earth and moon from the sun that help us gain unique data from solar eclipses.
* Earth's location in the Galaxy Way which gives the clearest view possible of our galaxy and the cosmos.
Hence, by doing science in these optimal conditions, we find God, as God intended!
Microscopic Universe Evidence:
1. Cells are like complex machines - but with billions of parts. These could not be chance combination of parts, but they are a complex assemblage of parts. e.g. the flagellum cell operates at 100,000 rpm's. It is the most efficient machine in the universe. It has two gears, forward and back. It has sensory mechanisms to gain feedback from its environment. It uses a flow of acid from outside the cell to motor the propeller. It has a water coolant, proton motor, stater, rotor, u-joint, drive shaft. Altogether there are 40 parts needed to build a flagella motor. And it has constructor proteins that build all these parts.
2. Irreducible Complexity - If you remove just one part of that system, the system ceases to function or exist. Like a mouse trap, if you take out even one of parts it will never work.
Charles Darwin admitted the failure of his own theory when he said: "if it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not have possibly been formed by numerous, successive slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down."
3. DNA - DNA operates like a software program with a 4 digital code more complex than any software ever devised. For a biological system to run it needs the genetic information to build the protein machines to cause the cells to maintain their functions. It is the language of life. All the information contained in a teaspoon of DNA can contain all the information in all the books ever written and to produce every creature on the planet.
4. Where did DNA come from? There is a problem with answering this question by saying the various properties make up DNA. It is like saying the information in this morning's New York Times can be understood by understanding the how the ink bonds with the paper. But that does not explain how the information got arranged so it could be understood and used. The information in the New York Times requires a medium of paper and ink, but it also transcends the medium.
5. Intelligence - there is only one known cause for information, which is Intelligence, e.g. computer code or lines in the pages of a book. Invariably you always come back to the cause which is intelligence. The information inscribed along the backbone of DNA based on our repeated experience is that there is an Intelligence behind it.
"The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech. Night after night they proclaim knowledge. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the end of the world" (Psalms 19).
Purpose of God:
Series of Clues - One of the purposes of God is for us to find Him. He has left behind a series of clues. We have to take our blinders off and take our suppositions and put them aside, and be willing to go where science shows us. And if we come to the very uncomfortable position there is a Creator, then that is the way we should go and maybe it would not feel so uncomfortable after awhile.
ANTONIO GUERRIERO DI DIO
Audio: ITALIAN

The life of Anthony of Padua (1195-1231) from his arrival on Sicily's shores via shipwreck in 1221 to his death. He's a Portuguese monk who, once in Italy, seeks out St. Francis. Anthony's gift as a great preacher is discovered by happenstance. He spends much of his life in and near Padua, a city run by usurers. Anthony offers protection and friendship to Folco, at one time a petty criminal and acolyte to the usurers, later falsely accused of murder. Anthony's teaching and his spiritual strength lead to changes in the character of Padua and an end to usury. He became its patron Saint soon after his death, and 32 years later, his casket is opened and his tongue remains intact.[/center]
