In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

Advent Day 23 - The Greatest CommandmentScripture: Matthew 22:37-39 (NIV)
Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
Hey friends! Today's scripture is a familiar one but always worth revisiting. In Matthew 22:37-39, Jesus sums up the entire law with two commandments: Love God and love your neighbor.
It's like the Prime Directive in Star Trek, the core principle that guides all actions. For us, love is that guiding principle. Loving God with all our heart, soul, and mind means putting Him first in everything. It's about an all-encompassing, passionate relationship with our Creator.
The second part is loving our neighbor as ourselves. That's sometimes easier said than done, right? Neighbors aren't just the people who live next door—they're coworkers, family members, even that person who cuts you off in traffic.
Loving others means showing kindness, patience, and compassion, even when it's inconvenient. It's about seeing people through God's eyes, made in His image and valuing them as He does.
Prayer:
Dear God, help us to love You with all that we are. Teach us to prioritize our relationship with You above all else. Also, help us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Give us the grace to show genuine love to those around us, reflecting Your love in our actions. In Jesus' name, Amen.
