"The Lord shut him in."-Genesis 7:16
    
    Noah was shut in away from all the world by the hand of divine love. The door of electing purpose interposes between us and the world which lieth in the wicked one. We are not of the world even as our Lord Jesus was not of the world. Into the sin, the gaiety, the pursuits of the multitude we cannot enter; we cannot play in the streets of Vanity Fair with the children of darkness, for our heavenly Father has shut us in. Noah was shut in with his God. "Come thou into the ark," was the Lord's invitation, by which He clearly showed that He Himself intended to dwell in the ark with His servant and his family. Thus all the chosen dwell in God and God in them. Happy people to be enclosed in the same circle which contains God in the Trinity of His persons, Father, Son, and Spirit. Let us never be inattentive to that gracious call, "Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee, and hide thyself as it were for a little moment until the indignation be overpast." Noah was so shut in that no evil could reach him. Floods did but lift him heavenward, and winds did but waft him on his way. Outside of the ark all was ruin, but inside all was rest and peace. Without Christ we perish, but in Christ Jesus there is perfect safety. Noah was so shut in that he could not even desire to come out, and those who are in Christ Jesus are in Him for ever. They shall go no more out for ever, for eternal faithfulness has shut them in, and infernal malice cannot drag them out. The Prince of the house of David shutteth and no man openeth; and when once in the last days as Master of the house He shall rise up and shut the door, it will be in vain for mere professors to knock, and cry Lord, Lord open unto us, for that same door which shuts in the wise virgins will shut out the foolish for ever. Lord, shut me in by Thy grace.

Hallmark movie coming to DVD June 11th


Oh, I got to tell you about this wonderful movie.  It aired on Hallmark channel in May and will be released on DVD June 11th.  I was so excited when I was contacted to receive a screeners copy in exchange for my honest review.  Oh, I love Beverly Lewis books.  I just can't get enough of them.  And I really love it when they are put to movies.  Michael Landon Jr.  has produced another award winner in my opinion.  Absolutely no bad language.  That is a plus plus so hard to find in movies now days.  using bad language doesn't add one thing to a movie except turn off those watchers that don't feel the need to talk that way.  Your point can be made without using bad words.  anyway enough about my views on language.  There are a few very brief sceens where Dylan Bennett does take some drinks from a whisky flask, but it doesn't show any drunkenness or violence.    The acting is superb.  The actors preform excellent in their roles. I sure trust Landon plans on a third movie in this series because it does leave ya with some questions; which would leave one to think there is a possibility of more to come. 




Synopsis:

Raised by an Amish family, Katie Lapp (Katie Leclerc, TV's "Switched at Birth") always felt the call of another life. Now, her quest to find her birth-mother, Laura Mayfield-Bennett (Sherry Stringfield, TV's "ER"), has drawn her into world of the "Englishers." Along the way, two very different men try to help her overcome a devious scheme to steal her rightful inheritance. Business-minded but kind-hearted Justin Wirth (Michael Rupnow) reaches out to discover Katie's hidden secrets, while her childhood companion Daniel Fisher (Cameron Deane Stewart) sacrifices his own happiness for her future. Katie's heart is divided between two worlds as love reveals the truth in the moving saga based on the hit novel from New York Times bestselling author Beverly Lewis.
