Video of the Day: Clip from the 2007 movie “Day After Tomorrow”
Bible Verse of the Day:
A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. His height was six cubits and a span.[a] 5 He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels[b]; 6 on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin was slung on his back. 7 His spear shaft was like a weaver’s rod, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels.[c] His shield bearer went ahead of him, 1 Samuel 17:4-7.
Biblical Connection:
Sam is the son of Jack Hall, a leading paleoclimatologist who warned political leaders of a global warming worst-case scenario. While on his way with college teammates to New York City for an academic competition, a severe storm triggers Sam’s fear of flying. Noticing Sam’s anxious behavior, a teammate uses probability and statistics to ease his growing concerns.
From the tale of the tape, Goliath stood 2.97 meters tall, roughly 9 feet 9 inches. Able to easily lift several hundred pounds, no Israeli soldier dared to accept Goliath’s daily challenge. This left a thin 6 feet shepherd boy as the only challenger. The size and strength of Goliath put David at an extreme disadvantage. Yet, when God is on your side, anything is possible.
Closing Song:
If you continue to listen to the doomsday scenarios laid out by environmentalists, you’ll be restless like the lyrics of today’s song. However, if you do your own research by studying history, you’ll find that the years following major volcanic eruptions are the coldest on record. Meanwhile, tectonic plates are pushing the east coast of the United States into the Atlantic Ocean little by little each year. Add in solar flares sent toward earth from the sun, you’ll find that the Hollywood version of global warming omits and suppresses key scientific data from the Day After Tomorrow. As the apostle Paul urges in 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22, test everything and cling to what is good.
