Play the song ‘Least of These (Put a Little Love in Your Heart)’ by Israel & New Breed

Lyrics:

In the land of the free
There’s more than enough
Dreams become reality
But not for everyone
In the home of the brave
Hear the song of liberty
Yet we still have slaves whose
Master is Hunger and poverty

For those who lack
We have a reason for giving back
This Christmas season
Make a decision for love

Love to least of these
True generosity
Is the heart of Christmas
Love love to the least of these
Everyone has a key
To unlock somebody’s dream
So remember this holiday
Someone has made a way
For you to receive
So give to the least of these

Paradise had its troubles
The children’s tragedies
With disaster comes struggles
That affects every decent families

Don’t turn your back
You have the reason for giving back
This Christmas season
Make a decision for love

Love to least of these
True generosity
Is the heart of Christmas
Love love to the least of these
Everyone has a key
To unlock somebody’s dream
So remember this holiday
Someone has made a way
For you to receive
So give to the least of these

What you’ve done for the least of these
You’ve done for me
What you’ve done for the least of these
You’ve done for me
Done for me

Love to least of these
True generosity
Is the heart of Christmas
Love love to the least of these
Everyone has a key
To unlock somebody’s dream
So remember this holiday
Someone has made a way
For you to receive
So give to the least of these

Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart

You want the world to know
We won’t let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see

Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your heart
Everybody put a little love in your heart

The Grace Card — movie released on 2-25-11

Witness The Power of Forgiveness

Director David Evans’ warm-hearted, unobjectionable message movie celebrates the transformative power of Gospel values. Starring Oscar winner Louis Gossett, Jr., and newcomers Michael Joiner and Michael Higgenbottom, The Grace Card is played well.

The Grace Card Movie Theme

Mac McDonald is a miserable person. 17 years ago, his young son was hit and killed by a car. Today, his anger is still impacting both his family life and his job as a cop. His surviving son Blake is hanging out with a bad crowd and flunking out of school. His wife is seeking counseling to cope with their unhappy life. His supervisor at the police dept. is also concerned about his attitude and assigns him a partner, which Mac is not happy about.

His new partner is Sam Wright, who is a part-time pastor who would like it to be full-time. He is a cop in order to provide for his family.

It was actually disturbing to see how Mac impacts those around him: his wife, his son and his partner. Both Mac and Sam are missing something in their life; Mac has shut God out of his life for a long time, and Sam begins to doubt his calling as a pastor.

Sam relies on his faith, and guidance from his grandfather George (Louis Gossett Jr.), but it takes a tragic incident to provide the impetus for change that Mac needs in his life.

I’ve reviewed quite a few movies that emphasize forgiveness, but The Grace Card brought it to a whole new level. The ending is especially emotional, and unexpected. A must see movie for all. Watch it.

Movie Review of Courageous (2011) 

Honor begins at home – - – This film, starring, written and directed by Alex Kendrick, is a beautifully presented as a clear call to action for men to step up and fulfill their duties as fathers and leaders of their communities and households.

Courageous Movie Theme

The story follows the lives of five friends, four of which are police officers, who are all fathers dealing with various issues in their personal lives. When tragedy befalls one of the five, it forces him to take a close look at the kind of father he has been to his children. Bothered by the fact that he only felt that he had been “good enough” by his own standards, he begins to seek out God’s standards and is heavily convicted by what he finds in God’s word as it relates to a father’s duties.

Driven by the desire to be a better father, he creates a resolution and presents it to his friends so that they will hold him accountable to be the man that he promises to become in his resolution. After reading the document the other men decide to join him in his pledge.

This action sets off a chain of events that tests the faith and resolve of all the men, while forcing them to deal with their personal issues of loss, abandonment, forgiveness, financial hardship, guilt and integrity.

Courageous Movie Trailer

Courageous is a movie that is definitely worthy of Oscar attention because it is the best movie I’ve seen all year. The story’s message is one of critical importance to our society and the acting was outstanding. And to see a movie that openly proclaims God’s Word and message of salvation through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is nothing short of a blessing.
