Above the Line Series

Not all seeking Hollywood are after fame and fortune.  Some are seeking Hollywood to bring better choices for entertainment...  Like a picture is worth a thousands words; a movie well-made and well-done can bring about positive change.  It just depends on what your values are...

Fifteen Minutes

Are you seeking fame and fortune?  Do you know the ultimate cost?  The lack of privacy, the loss of relationships, the damage to your soul?  It all depends on the type of person you are but in the end the choice you make matters...  Choose wisely!

John

Smyrna

“This message is from him who is the First and Last, who was dead and then came back to life.

“I know how much you suffer for the Lord, and I know all about your poverty (but you have heavenly riches!). I know the slander of those opposing you, who say that they are Jews—the children of God—but they aren’t, for they support the cause of Satan. 10 Stop being afraid of what you are about to suffer—for the devil will soon throw some of you into prison to test you. You will be persecuted for ‘ten days.’ Remain faithful even when facing death and I will give you the crown of life—an unending, glorious future.[c] 11 Let everyone who can hear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches: He who is victorious shall not be hurt by the Second Death.

Sometimes believing in something or someone will cause you to die a martyr's death...  Are you capable?  Are you willing?   Are you ready to die for what you believe in?  Some things in life are worth fighting for...

John

Ephesus

“I write to inform you of a message from him who walks among the churches and holds their leaders in his right hand.

“He says to you: I know how many good things you are doing. I have watched your hard work and your patience; I know you don’t tolerate sin among your members, and you have carefully examined the claims of those who say they are apostles but aren’t. You have found out how they lie. You have patiently suffered for me without quitting.

“Yet there is one thing wrong; you don’t love me as at first! Think about those times of your first love (how different now!) and turn back to me again and work as you did before; or else I will come and remove your candlestick from its place among the churches.

“But there is this about you that is good: You hate the deeds of the licentious Nicolaitans,[b] just as I do.

“Let this message sink into the ears of anyone who listens to what the Spirit is saying to the churches: To everyone who is victorious, I will give fruit from the Tree of Life in the Paradise of God.

Remember your first love?  Do you remember how you felt when you first fell in love?  How you wanted to spend all your time with each other?  How you hung on his/her every word?  Don't let your love grow cold or your candlestick will be removed...
