Snow globes are glass balls filled with water and a substance resembling snow. When the globe is shaken, the interior of the globe seems to be engulfed in a blizzard of swirling snow. Various scenes, often of a religious nature, but not always, are depicted by tiny figurines and landscapes inside the globe.

Amazing Grace on a Wind-up Metal Musical Church Box
Little boxes such as these are often seen as children's toys. What a wonderful teaching tool.

Christian Action Figures
Yesterday's post was about a blasphemous spoof commercial for a children's action figure. You may not realize it but there really are children's Christian action figures. See the links below:

What They Think of Us: Jesus Christ Action Figure
DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED!
This is a spoof commercial for a children's action figure. What I find especially problematic is that whoever made this piece of garbage thought it was funny to involve their children in the project.

(Some videos will not play properly when you click on the triangle. Instead, click on the title line in the picture and the video will begin . When the video is completed, close the You Tube pop-up window to return to this blog.)

Whose Name Is On Your Foot?
Many of the people associated with Pixar Studios (Toy Story, Wall-E, Finding Nemo, etc) are openly Christian so it is not surprising to find Christian elements in their films, though the films themselves are clearly secular. In the Toy Story series of films, steadfast and loyal Sheriff Woody, a floppy-limbed cowboy doll, continually asks the other toys, "Whose name is on your foot?" He reminds them that they belong to Andy and that their purpose is to attend to Andy. They are marked by their owner.
Many people don't like that concept. They refuse to accept that we all belong to, are owned, by someone or something. It may be a political or economic philosophy, a religious denomination, a cultural movement, sports, the pursuit of pleasure or wealth; anything which consumes our attention and loyalty.
The Bible clearly understands that we all are marked. We all belong to someone. Some belong to God.
Ezekiel 9:14 "And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof."
Revelation 7:2-3 "Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
Revelation 22:4 "And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads."
Some belong to Satan.
Revelation 17:4-5 "And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
Revelation 13:16 "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,
to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:"
Whose name is on your foot?
