culture

In his commentary on last night's Oscars, Marc Newman concludes,

The one thing said at the awards ceremony that rang true was that while technological advances in film making will continue, what remains the same is the importance of story. Every culture in the world has them. They are used to make sense of the world. They are the means by which Christians have been entrusted with spreading their faith–we tell the story of Christ and then testify to our own. Stories invite more stories. So if there is anything to applaud about the tales that pour relentlessly from Hollywood, it is that these films provoke confrontation and response. May we be as bold in telling His story, and our stories, as Hollywood is in telling theirs.
