Most of the time, when we make them, we aren't really the ones who control their outcomes. Kings: Can NBC Do the Bible? http://www.cbn.com/entertainment/screen/carey_kings_review.aspx?cpid=RSS_CAREY Though it takes place in near-future fantasy world, the writers of the show were clearly interested in more than just David's battle with Goliath when crafting the story. 24: Jack Bauer's Moral Dilemma http://www.cbn.com/entertainment/screen/carey_24.aspx?cpid=RSS_CAREY Premiering just weeks after the World Trade Center fell, 24 is perhaps pop-culture's most clear reflection of the morally ambiguous post-9/11 world. Confessions of a Swing Voter http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/prayerandcounseling/carey_swing_voter.aspx?cpid=RSS_CAREY No matter whose living in the White House, real change happens through people caring for other people. Jesus understood that.? Lights, Camera, Controversy! http://blogs.cbn.com/TheMorningFive/archive/2009/01/06/lights-camera-controversy.aspx?cpid=RSS_CAREY Do you think GodTube crossed a line by having profanity on its site, or do you think users should be more open to mainstream content, especially when it is associated with a Christian group? The Dark Knight: This Present Darkness http://www.cbn.com/entertainment/screen/carey_DarkKnight.aspx?cpid=RSS_CAREY The Dark Knight is setting new sales records on DVD and on iTunes. The movie is a story about a battle of ideals -- and why sometimes, in order to preserve them, you'll betray them. When Hollywood Attacks http://www.cbn.com/entertainment/screen/Carey_hollywood_attacks.aspx?cpid=RSS_CAREY Just when you thought the Da Vinci Code controversy was wearing off, several more high-profile Hollywood projects are reportedly in the works that will once again challenge some basic Christian precepts. The Secret of the Magi http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/BibleStudyAndTheology/perspectives/Carey_magi.aspx?cpid=RSS_CAREY This is the first account of anyone worshipping Jesus. God could have sent the greatest musicians, the most talented artists or the most articulate writers to set the first example of what it looks like to worship Jesus-but He didn't. He sent three men that gave Him gifts of great monitory value. John Lasseter: Stories that Live Forever http://www.cbn.com/entertainment/screen/carey_bolt_lasseter.aspx?cpid=RSS_CAREY Although he is an accomplished artist and businessman, Lasseter is best known as the man who has re-inspired modern animation. Bolt's Retreat to Simple Truths http://www.cbn.com/entertainment/screen/carey_bolttruth.aspx?cpid=RSS_CAREY We live an increasingly complex world where wars are fought against enemies with no uniforms or national allegiances. Where billions of dollars are spent to fix things that no one is exactly sure how they were broken in the first place. A Non-Religulous Response http://www.cbn.com/entertainment/screen/carey_religulous_response.aspx?cpid=RSS_CAREY Just because Bill Maher isn't really looking for answers in his interviews (he's looking to prove his point), that does not exempt Christians from being able to provide him (and people like him) with truth in a way that is gracious and intelligent. Bill Murray's Confession http://blogs.cbn.com/TheMorningFive/archive/2008/10/08/bill-murrays-confession.aspx?cpid=RSS_CAREY But to hear a guy who is known as such a light-hearted comedian talk so frankly about that heartbreak, it kind of affirms the reality of divorce. The Emerging Church Explained http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/churchandministry/carey_emerging_church.aspx?cpid=RSS_CAREY The roots of a Christian movement with an emphasis on community, redefining the church experience, cultural application of faith and general discontentment with the evangelical status-quo have even been traced back to the Jesus Movement of 1970s. Grace for This American Life http://www.cbn.com/entertainment/Screen/carey_this_american_life.aspx?cpid=RSS_CAREY Like the missionary friends of Ira Glass, what haunted Kevin Carter wasn't something that he had done, but it was the things he hadn't.
