Repo Men *SPOILER*

So, I just watched the new movie "Repo Men." I thought it had an interesting storyline, but a hard hitting message. In the movie, the lead character repossesses artificial organs that people couldn't pay for. This would lead to the person's death. He then has a situation where he needs a heart transplant, so they put an artificial heart in him. He doesn't pay, and the repo men start going after him. The message it sends to me is to pay attention to what you are doing. If it is negatively affecting them, then ask yourself how you would feel if "the shoe is on the other foot." The acting was okay. Not bad, but I've seen better. Out of 5 stars, I'll give it 3.

Coming out of the closet (not ashamed)

I know what you are thinking. Years ago, homosexuals were taught to be ashamed of their lifestyle. These days, they are praised for "coming out of the closet." These days, Christians are taught that their walk with Christ is supposed to be private. "It's okay as long as you keep it to yourself. We don't want to hear about it." Many people call that a closet Christian. Homosexuals are not ashamed of their sin anymore, so why should we be ashamed of our salvation? I say we shouldn't. It's time Christians "come out of the closet" and start proclaiming the name of Jesus openly. When you are at the mall, Walmart, restaurants, ect. It's necessary for us to show everyone the truth about who we are. Romans 1:16 says, "I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile." It's time for us to stop being ashamed.
