Video: In case you missed Katie Couric’s interview with Joel Osteen on The Today Show (and you probably did), Keith has a link to it.

Film: “AgapePress” has a good article, written by Ed Vitagliano which reflects on the “End of the Spear” controversy. “Sadly, the result has been a blunted Spear, reducing the impact of the film, not only on many of the Christians who saw the movie, but also on those who refused to see it, and on unbelievers who observed the confusion.”

Audio: The panel discussions from the Together for the Gospel Conference are now available for purchase from the Sovereign Grace Store.

Humor: Did any of you attend the Together 4 Each Other Conference? One attender gives his post-conference report. Unfortunately, no one was invited to live-blog it. Maybe next year…

On the whole End Of The Spear thing, as far as I know it never showed up in local theatres near me here Ontario. It seems that it was very limited release at least here in Canada, or it spent such a short time in theatres that it was gone before anyone noticed it was even out. I guess I will have to wait for it on DVD.

That is a good AgapePress article, thank you, Tim. A good perspective after the dust has settled.

To Jim,

EotS is available in the New Release section of our local Blockbuster now, so you might want to check. But then again, I live in a First World country (hee hee).

To everyone,I think what Every Tribes Entertainment did was the right thing. I don’t think I found out about Chad Allen until after I’d seen the film, and his sin did not diminish my enjoyment and esteem of the story. I think back to Christ’s kindness shown to the woman caught in adultery, Matthew and Zaccheus, the thief on the cross, and me, all of which led to repentence. Maybe Chad Allen will one day remember the grace shown to him by Christians, and the Holy Spirit will use that to make him alive.

When I went to the Shepherd’s conference in 2003, Steve Saint was there and brought the actual airplane his father flew (it had recovered the previous year after being missing all that time- pushed in the river-). His speaking session is still available from GRACE COMMUNITY. It is sad that the movie was effected by a peripheral controversy.
