"God is not at all invested in the church's isolated and mediocre projects."


I love this article by Barbara Nicolosi.
Another quote:
"As a talented filmmaker who is a devout Christian, Mel Gibson is absolutely an anomaly in Hollywood at the dawn of the twenty-first century. The reason for this comes down to the fact that artists who have talent and mastery of the craft very rarely believe in Christ, and that Christians who have any kind of mature faith very rarely have the passion, perseverance, and professionalism to succeed in the entertainment business.
It's not that Christians aren't making stabs at moviemaking and television production. It's that most of these efforts come to naught because our fears and misconceptions have us standing on the sidelines, cursing and boycotting and begging for favors from the pagans who have paid their dues and have the power to green-light stories for the screen."

Adapted from a chapter in Behind the Screen: Hollywood Insiders on Faith, Film, and Culture (Baker Books), edited by Spencer Lewerenz and Barbara Nicolosi.
