It’s Not in the Rating: Looking at Negative Influences in Stories: Frozen and Grand Torino
Do ratings reliably guide us concerning the negative influence a film may have? A comparison of the movies Frozen and Gran Torino looks at this and related issues.

Alien God of the Christian Tribulation
What if the Tribulation that futurists like me see in the book of Revelation takes place? And what if the Antichrist claims aliens are invading the Earth and he’s only resisting them…? (And why would I want to write a story like that?)

Safe Fiction Is Dangerous (Or, A Review Of How To Train Your Dragon)
Ideas that float in under the radar, however, enter our minds unchallenged, co-exist with the truth, and someday, after they’ve been fortified, may even challenge the truth to a shootout.

Keeping the Edge Sharp
The word “edgy” is not a friendly word. After all, what has edges? Knives, scalpels, axes. The sharper the edge, the better the cutting tool. Something “edgy” divides and separates into those who dig it and those who don’t. It’s challenging and often uncomfortable, rewarding for some and repulsive to others.

Why Does ‘I Can Only Imagine’ Back Away from Redemption?
Does the movie I Can Only Imagine cut redemption short by not fully portraying evil? Do other Christian stories also cheat redemption in the same way?

On Behalf Of Young Christian Readers Who Don’t Want Clean, Unrealistic Stories
Young Christian readers want fantastical stories that transport us to other lands, where darkness lurks, yes, but where the light ultimately shines bright as a thousand stars.

How To Deal With Sensitive Subjects (in Christian Spec Fiction)
Contemporary fantasy is swamped by material that runs completely adverse to traditional family values. This is a huge concern for parents and teachers. Young readers, especially, are impressionable to strange philosophies because they have not learned discernment.

Safe Fiction Is Dangerous (Or, A Review Of How To Train Your Dragon)
“Safe” fiction is the most dangerous kind because people are disarmed, no longer alert to possible ideas that may foster a false worldview.

Safe Fiction And The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz
In western culture we have Man, clawing up behind Satan, trying to replace God. In part because of a piece of “safe” fiction.

Safe Fiction – Discernment, Tim Downs, And First The Dead
