Aren’t compasses supposed to lead us Home?
The Golden Compass is revealed this weekend on screens in most neighborhoods near you. I have two points of view here. The first is that a movie taking a hard look at organized religion was bound to come up. I even looked forward to this one as the marvel of fantasy is one of my favorite film genres. The The movie looks so enticing and of course the actors are top notch Then there is my second point. This is a trilogy, like others written in days afore, but this time in the end The Lion does not vanquish the darkness, even the magician does stop the black arts.
This story continues to enrapture the smitten hearts of it’s readers to kill The God of All. While I suppose we could have cerebral discussions on whether an adult should be allowed to view as they please, and it is exquisite scenery, I have GRANDchildren that read. Their hearts are educated about the Love of a God that sacrificed His One Son so that all his progeny would be saved, how can I encourage them to see a beautiful film that eventually kills that deity. Should I see the movie? I’m tempted. But with all that is coming in the next few months, in all honesty, I’d rather prepare our feast of birthday celebration for this very much alive God!
I suppose my last word on this is this: “As for me and my house, we wil serve (and not kill off) The Lord…Shalom
