2015: Remember Your Dreams




This is not a devotional per say - just an encouragement to my Christian brothers and sisters.

2015 has been an interesting year. This year I was blessed to bring in the new year at the most magical place on earth. Many of us had dreams and hopes for this year.

Don't give up and keep the faith. There's still time to press on until the year comes to a close in a few months.

Remember that moment when you saw the fireworks or hugged your loved one at the strike of midnight on December 31st? Remember what you were dreaming for?

May all the dreams God has given us come to pass... even this year. And so if the dreams in your heart or mine were really given by him it means it's His gift to us and it's time to shake the dust off our selves and continue pursuing them.

Jeremiah 29:11 has a very encouraging verse for all of us:

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11, NIV)

Don't forget those dreams and don't abandon them. God hasn't abandoned any of us. We should not abandon the dreams that He has given us.

What's It To You?

Today I begin my Christian Filmmaker's Devotional.  I hope to do at least one per week, Lord willing.  Time will tell if I'm able to do so.  I do appreciate your prayers as I proceed in this endeavor. Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?  Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.   (John 21:21-22, KJV) One of the most difficult situations that I dealt with as a moderator on Christianfilmmakers.org was the problem with Christian filmmakers criticizing other Christian filmmakers .  Usually they'd be judging one filmmaker for seeking to make a film with this or that thing in it - or how could they be blessed by watching such and such a film?  Or how could they justify making a film with such and such a topic or how can they justify watching such a movie with "trash and filth" that offended them made in Hollywood? Most of the issues we as Christians deal with walkin...

Noah's Ark And Self Distribution (Guest Devotional)

20th Century Fox This week's devotional for Christian filmmakers is by Norton Rodriguez, who runs The God of Moses Entertainment and it's on a very important subject of self distribution.  I've known Norton for many years.  Not only is he a skilled filmmaker who excels at his craft;  he is also a visionary who has been encouraging and uniting Christian filmmakers for more than ten years.  Like John the Baptist and Moses of old - he began as a lone prophet in the wilderness.  Long before there was a Christian Film Industry, he started a website called www.christianfilmmaker.com.    So much has changed since he first followed the call of God to provide a place for us as Christian filmmakers to come together.   Today we've grown tremendously and expanded to this and other Christian film communities and it all goes back to Norton originally listening to God's voice in something that was unheard of.     Over the years as I've ...

The Patient Filmmaker Perseveres

Hope deferred makes the heart sick. But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. (Proverbs 13:12, KJV) Why do we have to wait so long for things?  And what's the point of waiting if it seems like it's never going to pass?  Well if we're learning to be patient as filmmakers, it is so important not to give up and not to lose sight of hope in the future... because the proverb above teaches us that hope deferred can make us sick.  For most filmmakers seeking to make a living (even at something we believe God has called us to do) waiting for long periods of time for things to happen is usually a reality and a difficulty that we must face on many occasions.  And patience is the only thing that is really going to get us to persevere and make it to our "promised land". In this day and age, for those of us who  don't live in a 3rd World Country, we usually don't have to wait as long for many things we take for granted - things like fast food, airplan...
