Just head over to darkcrystal.com, enter the contest and start writing—whoever pens the winning prequel gets $10,000 (which sounds like a lot, until you start thinking about how much money most people who write prequels probably make)

  • Warner Bros. Had a 'Man of Steel' Sermon Written

    19 Jun 2013 | 12:51 pm
    There's been a lot of talk about all the Christological parallels in Man of Steel and, if you've seen it, you know the filmmakers embraced the metaphor whole-heartedly.

On the one hand, sure. The parallels are certainly there (we at RELEVANT certainly didn't ignore them) and they should be discussed from the pulpit. On the other hand, having a sermon written at the request of a…

  • 5 Things I Wish I Had Known about Breakups

    rebekahbell89
    19 Jun 2013 | 10:30 am
    A few important things to remember when a relationship ends. A few weeks after a breakup, I learned that an old friend was engaged to the only guy she had ever dated. “I’m so happy for you!” someone wrote on her Facebook wall. “You waited on God’s timing, and He brought the perfect guy into your life at just the right time.” It sounded so simple and so spiritual. Happily ever after without any hurt, heartache or strings attached.
