"Fury" WWII Movie Worth Watching

M551 Sheridan Tank

by Chuck Ness

I don’t watch much television anymore. If I do they are old Westerns or reruns of old sitcoms. There isn’t much coming out of Hollywood worth watching, but a friend recommended the movie, “Fury”. I said if it’s ever on for free I would. Well it was on AMC, so I watched it.

The movie takes place near the end of WWII, when Germany was throwing everything they had into the battle in an attempt to stop the allied invasion from reaching Berlin. The best chance Hitler had was using what he had left of his famous Panzer tanks.

Life Lessons From Chariots of Fire

guest writer
Adam Lustig

He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40: 29-31

I just finished watching the 1981 Oscar-winning film from England, "Chariots of Fire", on Turner Classic Chanel. Chariots is on my top 5 list of the best movies of all time. Not so much for the acting, cinematography, or directing, those are excellent but for the message it conveys.

How Old Were Christ's Disciples?

Which image is more likely to be closer to the truth about who Christ's Disciples were?

What I offer today is a dissertation I stumbled upon while doing research for a book I plan on writing. The subject of my book is the time when Jesus visited the Temple with His parents when He was 12. I was investigating the various rules and regulations concerning Jewish boys. While in my search I stumbled upon a few commentaries discussing what the age Christ's Disciples would have been. As usual, I found my self going on a tangent away from my main topic. However, this was one rabbit hole I enjoyed so much that I felt it worthy of sharing with others.

What I found was a nine page dissertation written by a father and his son on the ages of the Disciples of Jesus. The author's names are Frank and Otis Cary. It was written sometime before 1970. I am guessing, since it does not have a date, and the father (Frank) passed away in the mid 1970's. Now Frank and his father were Missionaries in Japan during the late 1800's and on through the 1900s.

Rare Color Video Found of London after Hitler Began Bombing it 70 Yrs Ago

For those who forget the past, I offer this article and accompanying video.  This is what happens when citizens allow their government to become so powerful that it can take away everything they cherish and hold dear.  Then when they have nothing left to be taken, the government then takes what it wants from other countries.  What Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were able to accomplish is what the left desires for the Islamofascist, Obama, to accomplish.
