Using Narnia to Touch Lives
The much anticipated release of the
second Narnia film, Prince Caspian, is just around the corner. While
generations of believers have grown up loving the magical world of Narnia, many
of the deeper spiritual overtones in the story can escape the casual observer.
Narnia author C. S. Lewis was a
master at using the power of story to communicate truths that alternately
wrench our heart and make our spirits soar. The world of Narnia is replete with
themes and symbols that speak to longings deep within us - young and old alike.
Narnia taps into the God-shaped void within each of us to search for a 'deeper
magic' that pulls us into an encounter with the God of the Universe.
In the upcoming film version of Prince
Caspian, Disney and Walden Media have teamed up to deliver a visually
spectacular movie experience. It's not often Hollywood drops such a gift into
the Christian community's collective lap. The moment is ripe with opportunity,
the question is will we step up and use the opportunity to reach out into our
communities and engage in serious spiritual conversations?
Prince Caspian throws the door wide open to engage
those who don't understand the deeper magic of the world of Narnia and all it
symbolizes. Narnian themes of living in a fallen world, sin, and redemption
speak into the hurting hearts and battered lives that surround us. In an effort
to assist churches' in their outreach efforts surrounding the release of Prince
Caspian, a number of free tools and resources have been developed by
Christian ministries. One such free resource is the Prince Caspian
Youthworker Guide from the Christian ministry Interl'inc, available at http://caspian.interlinc-online.com/.
Every church should seek out such resources and be aware of this golden
opportunity to use the upcoming film as a springboard for deeper spiritual
conversations.
Are you prepared to flesh out the
deeper truths the movie brushes up against and share God's hope and truth?
Doing your homework and laying the groundwork for significant spiritual
conversations can reap eternal rewards. Don't let this golden opportunity slip
by!

Constructivists don't educate algorithms. Constructivism is really a philosophy of education that eschews direct instruction apart from being a method of last resort, to become utilized soon after college students are completely engaged and have genuine inquiries.? It really is according to a really large amount of quite solid study. It might appear as being a surprise for the general general public, that have been fed the myth that our schools are failing for decades, but educating is continuously enhancing each of the time, much like other professions.
