Total Movie RecallTMR 045 – Labyrinth This week on Total Movie Recall, Steve and Ryan put on their codpieces and fret over the innocence of teenage girls around David Bowie. Don’t get us wrong, we love this movie, but why does this charming children’s tale have a character named after the part of the anatomy responsible for transporting sperm? And why do so many sequences resemble sperm? And if all of these things are symbols for sperm, what does the Bog of Eternal Stench represent? We shudder to think… Labyrinth (1986) d. Jim Henson w.

Ron Brown's Kingdom Sports MinuteEYES ON CHRISTEYES ON CHRIST
Balance is huge in sports. But in Matthew 14 when Peter was walking on the water and eventually he began to sink, was that a balance issue? No, it really wasn’t a balance issue. He had the supernatural power of walking on water as he kept his eyes on Jesus Christ. His issue was his mind, not his feet, not his athletic ability. Jesus rebuked him when they got back into the boat and He said, “Why did you doubt?” In other words Jesus was saying why did you take your eyes off me? Why we...

I grew up perhaps like you learning how to play checkers. And who doesn’t love checkers? King me. Man, I loved it. But when I was twelve years old my Uncle Johnny said, “Hey boy, I’m going to show you a man’s game.” He introduced me to chess and he taught me how to play chess. Similar board, but different pieces and different strategy. I forsook checkers after that. “I’m just playing chess from now on,” I said, “I’m a new man.” But every now and then I longed for checkers. Can you imag...

Should we stand for the national anthem? I believe we should. My dad fought in World War II in African-American troops. They were segregated back then. African-Americans weren’t treated as equals even in our military. But my dad believed in America and he believed that we should stand for the flag, and I do to this day. But we make a big issue about whether we should stand for the flag or not. But why as Christians are we not standing for biblical issues, like biblical marriage or life in the womb? Why do...

What is your goal? So many times in the world of sports it’s about winning the championship, being the top player in the country, first team All-American, breaking a record, all those kind of things. A goal technically is the highest aim that you have. For the Christian, what should be our goal? Is it something that’s physical in this earth? Well that’s too low of a goal. The goal based on Romans 8:29 is to be conformed into the image of Jesus Christ, which is a work of the Holy Spirit...

I once had a high school linebacker come to me and say, “Coach Brown, I gotta hit people in the mouth. I appreciate your view of Christianity and your Christian faith, but you know what, I need something tough. The Christians I know aren’t very tough. I gotta hit people in the mouth.” I just kept hearing that. I said, “Son, if you only understood who Jesus was.” If you read Psalm 22, you’ll realize the brutal crucifixion process that came along with Jesus in that Messianic psalm. Even though David...

I had a college football teammate named Harry Walls. I think he was the only Christian on our football team. And what really ministered to me was that wasn’t just a hearer of God’s word, he was a doer. It says in James 1:25 – One who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does. Harry Walls by the way he played football, the way he did football, he too...

I’ll never forget it. Refereeing a basketball game, I handed the ball off to an eight-year-old little guy who had to take two free throws to send the game into overtime. He had to make both of them. Well little Johnny stood at that free throw line at eight years old and his knees began to wobble and all of a sudden he dropped the ball and began to cry. What happened to little Johnny? Why did he fold up like that? You know Proverbs 12:25 says this: Anxiety in a man’s heart weig...

One of the greatest plays I’ve ever seen in pro-football happened to be in a Super Bowl game. The Buffalo Bills versus the Dallas Cowboys. Of course we know that the Bills had lost like four Super Bowls in a row. And in one of those games it looked like, again, another loss. They were way behind with just a few minutes left in the game. Wide receiver Don Beebe for the Buffalo Bills was way down field when Jim Kelly, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills was sacked and the ball wa...

He said – There are two roads to life: One’s a very broad road, leads to destruction, many are on it. He said the other is a very narrow road that leads to life, only a few are on it. Which road are you on? You know, I talk to my players a lot and, you know, sometimes I see a tattoo or on them or some type of a signature, you know, in their book or what have you, that has something to do with a Bible verse or something abou...

But are you sure you’re following the truth? How do we know what the truth is? In John 17:17, Jesus said – Thy word is truth. God’s word is truth. You know, there’s a lot of people who come around and they say, “Well you know what? That’s what you say, but I believe this,” or “that’s what they say, but I’m choosing to believe that.” Nowadays I’m st...
2020-01-2700 minRon Brown's Kingdom Sports MinuteRunning the Right WayYears ago in the Rose Bowl, California played Georgia Tech for the national championship. A California defensive end picked up a loose fumble and started running toward the end zone, thinking he was going to score a touchdown for his team. Problem was, he ran sixty yards the wrong way. He was finally tackled on his own one-yard line. Georgia Tech got a safety on the next play and that proved to be the margin of victory. His play was the most costly play of the game. People asked Riegels after the game, “Why did you run the wrong wa...

Here in Nebraska I think many of us sports fans are familiar with Brook Berringer. A great legendary quarterback. Was a backup player ended up starting when our starter, Tommie Frazier, went down with a knee injury in 1994. But Brook helped lead our team to a national championship. In 1995 (his senior year), Frazier beat him out for the starting position and Brook rode the bench his senior year after having a stellar junior year. But Brook became a Christian and he ignited the love of Christ across this great state to so many people in...
