Here Jesus makes a claim that God is his father. Have you noticed what it says? Those giants of faith are called witnesses, but, witnesses of what? The answer lies in the words of Jesus in John 5:17. After listing all the men and women of faith in chapter 11 of Hebrews, the writer goes on to say, “since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews. It is not even the purpose of the Old Testament. But that is not the purpose of Hebrews 11. This is because most Christians think that Hebrews 11 is written for us to know how we can also be like those giants of faith. Often when Christians read Hebrews 11 they think that if only they could be like one of these giants of faith, they would be so happy. If you want to become a giant of faith, read on. In addition to serving as a thrilling viewing experience, Lights Out also delivers a touching narrative about a family torn apart that finds reason to come back together and fight for one another.Posted by Takalani Musekwa on Januat 12:26 PMĭo you want to have faith? Do you want to have faith that can move mountains?ĭo you want to have faith that can raise the dead? Do you want a faith like that of David that can kill a giant? Maybe you have many giants in your life that you want to destroy? Most Christians do, including me. The film sees a young woman trying to protect her younger brother from the malevolent presence that has haunted their mother for years.
The way he uses light and darkness to ramp up the tension is masterful. Anyone that missed this gem during its theatrical run should add it to their Netflix queue post-haste. Sandberg adapting his short, of the same name, to a feature-length effort. It manages to be supremely terrifying and manages to do so with a PG-13 rating, which is all the more impressive. This flick stands as one of the scariest efforts of the 2010s. From there, paranoia ensues and things get dicey for the crew. When the researchers thaw what they believe to be the inhabitant of the craft, it proves to be a shapeshifting entity that can take on the form of nearly anything or anyone. The setup sees a research team in Antarctica happening upon an alien spacecraft deep beneath the icy ground. If you haven’t yet given it a shot, make sure to check it out on Netflix starting April 1st. I suspect if The Thing (2011) had been more effectively marketed as a prequel, as opposed to a remake, the flick may not have been so maligned from the jump. And save for the unfortunate over-reliance on VFX work, it’s a pretty impressive cinematic offering. So, to paraphrase viral YouTube star Chris Crocker, leave The Thing (2011) alone! The picture functions as a fairly seamless lead-in to the events depicted in John Carpenter’s The Thing. This oft-maligned prequel to the 1982 film of the same name doesn’t deserve all the vitriol.

And Netflix subscribers will be able to do so as often as they’d like beginning April 1st. Much like Psycho, it’s always a good time to rewatch The Birds.

But Norman’s ‘Mother’ has decidedly different ideas about Marion. When Marion stops off to rest at the Bates Motel, she meets the seemingly charming Norman (Anthony Perkins) who takes a liking to her. Psycho follows Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) as she absconds with a large sum of cash and heads out on the open road. This black-and-white classic only gets better with repeat visits. Strong performances across the board and a palpable level of tension make Hitchcock’s Psycho a safe bet for any time you’re not quite sure what to watch. Among them is one of the forefathers of the modern slasher picture! Hooray. Several Hitchcock classics are being added to the streaming giant’s catalog this month.
