John Hatcher's picture

Picture this. You are in the upper room with the rest of the disciples including Peter, James, and John and even Mary, the mother of Jesus. You are being obedient to the last command of Jesus before he ascended to the Father. You are waiting and praying. You are waiting for the fulfillment of a promise. Then, to everyone’s aghast, your cell phone rings with the “Hallelujah Chorus,” indeed appropriate music but inappropriate time. You, a transport from 2006, forgot to turn your cell phone off.

John Hatcher's picture

Hollywood is at it again. “The DaVinci Code,” of which I speak. A big movie based on a best selling book is coming to a screen near you. This movie must be differentiated from the likes of “The Passion of the Christ.” The Passion was a Biblical portrayal of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, prompted in large part by the passion of Mel Gibson. Gibson funded the film. The Code, on the other hand, is the product of Sony Pictures which is motivated by what will make money. Sony is a huge conglomerate that owns, in part, the popular television shows “Jeopardy” and “Wheel of Fortune.”
