Is the Twilight series bad? Is it good? What kind of message is it trying to get across? One of Love? Passion? Desire? Or is it demonic? Pastor Mark Driscoll says some pretty interesting things about the best-selling books and their author. If you’re a Twilight fan this might interest you.
Do you believe that God is still actively engaged with the world? Do you think He is continually making Himself known? Every day new stories of God’s redemptive and transforming work in and through His people are appearing around the world. But these stories often go untold, their ability to teach and inform lost forever. Deidox brings these compelling stories to life through short documentary films.
Where does the name come from?
Dei = Means “God” in Latin
Dox = Documentary films
Deidox are true stories of how everyday people are being used by God in the world today. Our hope is that these short films will inspire you to realize anew how big and active God is, how He is reaching and changing lives in all countries and using His people to accomplish His work.
Put simply, Deidox are cinematic stories of the modern day Christian journey.
Ultimately we hope to produce dozens of cinematic, Deiddox stories demonstrating how God is working in countries all over the globe.

Gerard Butler, the star from the films 300, Law Abiding Citizen, and Gamer will be starring in the upcoming new film “Machine Gun Preacher.” The film is based on a true story of a preacher who protected children in Sudan named Sam Childers. This is quite the interesting role for Gerard Butler, considering the type of movies he usaully does; let’s be honest, they are far from being Christian despite being good movies. Surprisingly, the cast also includes Eagle Eye star Michelle Monaghan. The Christian Post gives us the details, check it out:
“The Bounty Hunter” star Gerard Butler will play the role of the drug-dealing biker who turns into a gun-toting pastor that defends children in the new film “Machine Gun Preacher.”
Based on the true story of Sam Childers, the movie will capture how he changed from a violent, high school dropout who started using drugs at age 11 to a Christian preacher that protects Sudanese children from the rebel group Lord’s Resistance Army.
The film will begin shooting in early July, according to Variety magazine.
Last year, Childers spoke to The Christian Post about his incredible life carrying an AK-47 in rural Sudan and caring for orphans while promoting his book Another Man’s War: The True Story of One Man’s Battle to Save Children in the Sudan.
“I don’t condone violence at all,” Childers responded when The Christian Post asked about his use of heavy firearms. “I don’t believe in violence but at the same time I don’t believe that children should be raped, murdered, or cut up.”
“I look of it as a self-defense and I look at it as I’m helping God’s children,” he explained. “I’m not a person out to murder. It’s not that I like hurting anybody. But at the same time these people need to be stopped.”
The unconventional American pastor has spent most of the past 12 years in Southern Sudan and Northern Uganda building the Angels of East Africa Children’s village and rescuing children from attacks by the LRA.
In the book, he recalls gruesome scenes after LRA raids that included smelling the burning of flesh and saving a woman drenched in her own blood from a breast that was half cut off by a machete. He said the crazed rebel group often even forced victims to engage in acts of cannibalism and children to butcher their mothers.
“I loved fighting then. And I still love fighting now. The difference is today I’m fighting for the children and families God sent me to protect,” Childers wrote in his book.
Childers rededicated his life to Christ at a revival meeting in 1992, a few years after his wife, Lynn, also accepted Christ as her savior. Both Lynn and their daughter, Paige, are involved in the ministry in Sudan.
The film “Machine Gun Preacher” is expected to be released in the fall of 2011, according to Lionsgate entertainment company.
