When we speak God’s word, supernatural forces go to work on our behalf.

Bless the Lord, you His angels, mighty in strength who perform His word, obeying the voice of His word! Psalm 103:20

After fasting and being alone in the desert for 40 days, the devil tempted Jesus three times. Each time, Jesus spoke scripture from the Torah (Old Testament) to defeat the devil. This is one reason it is important to read the bible. It is a very powerful tool in our life.

There is one catch. You must speak these words with some degree of faith. Ask God for this.

From a coffee cup to an iPhone to the bible, tools are essential to the human experience. In the short film, THE BLACK HOLE, a witless office worker finds the ultimate tool, only to be trapped by it’s limitations.A clear goal or motivation makes a story understandable. Risk and/or conflict make it engaging. Twists keep it interesting. This film has all three, and does it in just under three minutes.

THE BLACK HOLE shown at the May, 2009 Cannes film festival.

This is another case of a great story where no dialog is necessary. Like the short film, A THOUSAND WORDS, the best story telling needs a minimum of words. Film is first and foremost, a visual medium. Words should be used sparingly, if not at all. A foundational rule for good screenplay writing is, show it, don’t say it. It’s best to learn the characters through the choices that they make. Choices demonstrate motivations. Actions do speak louder than words.
