My name is Michael Elliott and for ten years I was the owner and film critic for the website ChristianCritic.com. I closed the site in 2008 due to time constraints and personal obligations but I continue to believe that its core concept – that movies can provide us with unique opportunities to practice our spiritual discernment – remains as valid today as when I began.
God, through His Word, gave us all things pertaining to life and godliness. A movie, which must reflect life in order to tell its story, must therefore also reflect, in some measure, elements of God’s Word. It may be hidden - it may be unintentional on the part of the filmmakers – but God’s Truth will always be found by those who choose to look for it.
In the blogs that will follow, I plan to resume one of the elements of my original website by using movie dialogue to spark spiritual commentary and discussion. I am believing that those who come to this blog will find these observations of interest and will benefit from them. As always, your comments and your additional insight are most welcome.
