Stop looking for validation from a world who killed the only perfect person to ever live.

Start looking to Him.

11 years ago today, 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians were beheaded by ISIS in Libya for refusing to convert to Islam.

Their last words were: “Jesus, I love you.”

Remember, no one marched for them.
No one protested for them!

On this day in 1998 Dreamworks released The Prince of Egypt, a groundbreaking mix of hand drawn art with early computer effects.

For this 'Parting the Red Sea' sequence it took them months to blend 2D animation with realistic water visuals. 🌊

The Narnia books are deeply Christian. But they're also a lesson on why BOTH children and adults need mythic stories.

When the Pevensie children grow up, Susan refuses to accept Narnia was real and gets lost in the material world:

"interested in nothing nowadays except nylons and lipstick and invitations".

The story ends with the children's tragic death in a train wreck, and reunion with Aslan in Narnia. But Susan wasn't on the train with her siblings.

She carries on in life, "too keen on being grown-up", and we're left to wonder if she'll make it into Aslan's "heaven."

Susan's desire to grow up is the key point of the entire series — Lewis understood that the grind of modernity (and adulthood) makes us lose a sense of mystery in ordinary things, but mythic stories open us up to the idea of reality beyond the material.

However, rather than merely helping you escape reality, myths tear down the "veil of familiarity" so you can see it more clearly, and find out that you're part of a grand narrative.

That's exactly what happens to the Pevensie children: they discover that their place in the world is one of royal significance, crowned as monarchs and entrusted to preside over a Golden Age of peace in Narnia.

Encountering ideas inside a mythic world makes them appear richer than they ever could in prosaic language. Aslan is made more captivating by the fantastical qualities of his being, and with the veil broken down, you're more susceptible to the lessons he has to offer.

As Aslan says himself:

"This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there."

@KristanHawkins Pure Evil !! When it’s all about me, me, me, you grow into a greedy, self-centered, selfish person. A selfish person causes more harm to others and to themselves. Only God can save.
