Last Friday on “Days of Our Lives,” JJ begged Paige to forgive him. She asks him if there’s anything else that she should know, and he says that if there was he’d tell her.

Fast and Furious 7: Paul Walker Death Still Raw, Vin Diesel Gives an Emotional Tribute at Screening

Vin Diesel just became a father of three with the birth of his child last Monday, March 16, but the actor went straight from the hospital to the first California “Furious 7” screening on Wednesday, March 18, to honor his co-star and close friend, the late Paul Walker.

Christian Post Report – “I had to come from the hospital, and I had to introduce the first screening in California where the whole franchise started,” Diesel told the audience.

Vin Diesel gives an emotional tribute to the late Paul Walker

The 47-year old was overcome with emotion as he spoke about making the latest movie, and he told fans how he and Walker, who he sometimes called Pablo, usually spent time together at the premieres of previous “Fast and Furious” films.

“As you know this was a very personal and important film to us, every time when I saw the movie at the premiere, Paul Walker and I would go off to the side, and he would always tell me, ‘Vin, the best one’s still in the can’. Well, I hope tonight, you’ll let Pablo know that this, this is the best one for you guys,” he said.

Diesel also reminded the audience that others have to wait a little to see the film, so it’s important to keep the story line quiet and not spoil it for everyone else.

At one point, the actor’s mood became somber.

“This was a labor of love. It was in some ways the hardest movie that I ever had to do because the relationships you see on film are so real, when the tragedy happened, I lost my best friend, I lost my brother,” he continued.

“Tonight,” said Diesel, before taking time to compose himself. The audience offered their support by telling Diesel that they love him, and one audience member shouted, “You’ve got family here Vin.”

“Oh I love that, thanks for being my family,” Diesel continued. “Thanks for always taking care of us, thanks for believing in us. You know what’s most important in life …This is our gift to you, but more importantly, it’s for my brother there.”

“Furious 7” premieres on April 3.

Dr. Jeff initiates a group hug with the ladies on The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Christian Post Report – Last Sunday on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” Phaedra Parks finally decided to divorce her husband, and the drama continues as the other ladies stick around to finish the group counseling session with Dr. Jeff.

Phaedra talks to her friend Sarah, the daughter of Bishop T.D. Jakes, about her problems with Apollo. In her confessional, Phaedra explains why she chose to confide in Sarah instead of Nene or Kandi.

“We have a God connection,” said Phaedra. “I feel like I can be totally transparent because I know she doesn’t have an ulterior motive.”

Phaedra is in tears as she tells Sarah that she wanted to be a perfect wife, but Apollo was being mean and hurtful.

“I said I would support him through criminal trouble,” said Phaedra. “I should have probably left then.”

The next day, Phaedra meets with her fellow attorney and mentor Ronnie Kaplan to get advice on how she needs to proceed with the divorce. Ronnie tells her that her sons need to have “as much contact as possible with their dad.” Phaedra is not so sure about this because she doesn’t want to expose her sons to “a roomful of killers.”

Later, Ronnie tells Phaedra that she can file for divorce even though Apollo isn’t around.

“We’ll get through it,” he assures her. “It’s a sad time. A divorce is a death. A death of a relationship.”

Meanwhile, though Nene stormed out of the group therapy session, the other ladies agreed to stick around and work things out. Porsha calls out Kenya and Claudia for their accusations that Porsha slept with a married man. Claudia admits that it was wrong to say that, and she apologizes to Porsha.

Kenya took responsibility for the fight in Puerto Rico and for provoking Porsha, and Porsha is grateful to move on.

And though Nene left, the ladies still want to make things right with her, so Kandi suggests that they send a video to her.

Claudia reached out on her own to Dr. Jeff via Skype as she truly wants to be part of the group in a healthy way, so he encourages her to organize a trip in the name of healing. Claudia and Porsha take on the responsibility to tell their friends that they’re all going to Manila.

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” airs on Sundays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.

Dawn Michele of the Christian rock band Fireflight thanked fans for their prayers after celebrating the arrival of her first child this week.

The lead singer and her husband, fellow musician Matt Lott, welcomed their son Johnny Scott Danger Lott on Monday in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Michele revealed that the baby boy weighed seven pounds, eight ounces and measured 19-and-a-half inches long before crediting prayers for his arrival.

“Meet Johnny Scott Danger Lott,” Michele added. “This is the best day of my life! Your prayers made it possible. I love you all!”

Just days before Michele gave birth, Fireflight requested prayers from fans on social media along with a photo of the expectant singer.

“This lady is about to pop,” the band wrote. “Please keep Dawn Michele and the baby in your prayers as they approach the big day! #fireflight #newadventures.”

With news of Michele’s baby this week, Fireflight will not resume their tour until May 5. However, the band is preparing for the release of their first album in over three years, Innova. Although the album is not yet available in stores, Innova has already produced a Number One song on the Billboard Christian Rock Chart – “Resuscitate,” which continues to hold the top spot for its 12th consecutive week today.

Offering fans a further glimpse into what Innova will contain, the song “We Are Alive” was also released to radio recently. The second track off of Fireflight’s new album taps into the band’s heavy musical roots while tying in themes of community and the ability to build one another up.

Fireflight, which formed in 1999, is comprised of Michele, Wendy Drennen, Glenn Drennen and Adam McMillion. The Grammy-nominated group has played at ShoutFest, Revelation Generation, and Winter Jam and have also toured with Disciple, Family Force 5 and Decyfer Down.

Kristen Bell Talks ‘Frozen’ Sequel: ‘I Would Play Anna Forever’

Host Kristen Bell arrives at the 2014 CMT Music Awards in Nashville, Tennessee June 4, 2014.

Christian Post Report – Kristen Bell has expressed her love for “Frozen,” and says she’s all geared up for the sequel.

“Frozen” actress Kristen Bell, who plays Anna, is looking forward to being part of the sequel to Disney’s Academy award-winning and highest grossing animated film in history.

Disney announced “Frozen 2” a little over a week ago after it released a short film, “Frozen Fever,” featuring Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf preparing a birthday party for Anna. The second movie is currently in development at the Disney Animation Studios after the unprecedented success of the first animated movie spurred studio executives to decide on the sequel.

With the first film grossing $1.2 billion since it premiered in November 2013, Disney is looking forward to another big payday when “Frozen 2” hits theaters at a still unannounced date.

Bell had earlier been quoted as saying she was hoping there would be a sequel just hours after Disney officially announced the second film was in the pipeline.

“I would play Anna forever if they would let me,” she told CBS News. “Always and forever want to build a snowman.”

She also shared her exhilaration on social media, posting “Dreams really do come 2!!!” #FROZEN2 #itsofficial” on her Twitter feed.

Bell, 34, has also expressed how much she adored playing Anna, but also enjoyed the time she spent with the production team, calling them “talented and super kind.”

The same production team from the first film was behind “Frozen Fever,” writing the music for the short’s film’s song, and are likely going to be tapped for the sequel’s production, as well.

The sequel, when it is released, will be Disney’s first sequel as an individual entity, not counting the franchises it has spawned with Pixar.

Samsung Galaxy S6

Christian Post Report – The Samsung Galaxy 6 is coming out in the market in a matter of weeks, and many who are waiting to get their hands on Samsung’s latest flagship know that so far, this is the Korean company’s most beautifully designed handset to date, with its all metal body and top of the line specs. But how will it do when compared to the Google Nexus 6?

Google’s supersized smartphone has been getting rave reviews since it was launched last year, with its big screen and powerful specs. Though the phone is a few months older than devices launched at this year’s CES and MWC, it can still hold its own in the ultra-competitive smartphone arena.

Here, we compare the Google Nexus 6 with the Samsung Galaxy S6:

Design:
The Galaxy S6 has a glass and metal build and has a more premium feel than its predecessors. The phone has rounded tops and bottoms and straight sides, and it measures 5.6.x 2.8 x 0.27 inches and weighs 4.9 ounces. The phone is available in White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum, and Blue Topaz.

The Nexus 6 has a gently curved silver aluminium frame with a smooth, matte plastic rear. The phone measures 6.27 x 3.27 x 0.40 inches and is quite hefty as it weighs 6.49 ounces. The handset is available in Midnight Blue and White.

Features:
Though both phones’ displays have a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels, the difference in screen size means a big difference in pixel density. The Samsung phone has a 5.1-inche Super AMOLED display which translates to pixel density of 577ppi, while the Nexus 6 has a 6-inch AMOLED screen with a pixel density count of 493ppi.

The Google Nexus 6 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 quad-core processor, while the Galaxy S6 has the Exynos 7 octa-core chip set. Both phones run on Android 5.0 Lollipop.

The Samsung phone has the better cameras as it’s equipped with a 16MP rear camera and 5MP front camera, while the Google device has a 13MP rear camera and 2MP front camera.

The Galaxy S6 is available in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB models, and the phone’s memory cannot be expanded due to the lack of a microSD card slot. The Nexus 6 comes at 32GB and 64GB models.

Price:
The Samsung Galaxy S6 will go on sale by April 2015 and is expected to cost $855 for the 32GB model, $970 for the 64GB variant, and $1,085 for the 128GB model. Meanwhile, the Nexus 6 costs $750 for the 32GB model and $820 for the 64GB model.

Dancing With the Stars judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, Julianne Hough, and Bruno Tonioli

Christian Post Report – The second week of “Dancing with the Stars” had the celebrities choose the songs for their performances as the theme of the week was “My Jam Monday.” Some of the couples who turned in a lackluster performance last week redeemed themselves this time around as a few pairs who were at the bottom of the leaderboard last week advanced, but one celebrity was sent home.

Here is a recap of the performances and scores for week 2 of “Dancing With the Stars’:

Rumer Willis and Val Chmerkovskiy
Dance: Cha-Cha
Score: 32 (out of 40)
The pair’s cha-cha to Adele’s “Rumor Has It” earned a lot of applause from the audience and praise from the judges. Julianne Hough said that it was a “powerhouse performance” and that Willis’ legs were “super sharp and super quick”, while Carrie Ann Inaba praised the choreography.

Willow Shields and Mark Ballas
Dance: Argentine Tango
Score: 32
Their tango to Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” was fiery and spirited that it surprised Shields too. “I can’t believe I did that!” said the 14-year old. “You showed maturity in your dance,” said Len Goodman. “You came out here with such intensity!” added Hough.

Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson
Dance: Foxtrot
Score: 28
Herjavec addressed the dating rumors about him and his dance partner as he said, “I’m not sure either of us really pay attention to any of that stuff!” Their dance was a hit with the judges as Inaba told them, “You guys are like a fairy tale!”

Chris Soules and Witney Carson
Dance: Cha-Cha
Score: 21
The rehearsal footage showed Soules having some trouble mastering the choreography. “You got your feet stuck in a jam,” noted Bruno Tonioli. “That was some pretty intricate choreography for the second week,” said Hough.

Nastia Liukin and Derek Hough
Dance: Rumba
Score: 34
Their rumba to Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” was praised by Julianne Hough as she said, “That was beautifully executed.” Inaba added, “The quality of motion was spectacular … you just took yourself to a whole other level.” Their dance earned them the first straight 9s of the competition, placing them on top of the leaderboard this week.

Noah Galloway and Sharna Burgess
Dance: Samba
Score: 27
The pair’s cowboy-themed Samba to “Homegrown Honey” prompted Inaba to say, “What’s so impressive is the way you know how to manipulate energy and flow. You guys are a wonderful team and that was a great execution.”

Patti LaBelle and Artem Chigventsev
Dance: Salsa
Score: 28
Though LaBelle sustained a knee injury, her salsa to “In Da Club” made Tonioli compare her dancing to Cookie on the show “Empire.” “You sing with soul and you dance with soul,” said Goodman.

Charlotte McKinney and Keo Motsepe
Dance: Cha-Cha
Score: 26
This week, the model and her partner showed an improvement over last week’s performance as they danced to “California Girls”. Hough said, “I feel like there is so much within you and so much potential that we haven’t quite seen yet.”

Michael Sam and Peta Murgatroyd
Dance: Foxtrot
Score: 28
Their foxtrot to “Workin’ My Way Back to You Babe” was compared by Hough to a “Broadway performance” and Inaba told Sam, “This week, you are in the game!”

Redfoo and Emma Slater
Dance: Jive
Score: 31
Redfoo impressed the judges with his jive to “My Sharona”, and Tonioli said “you went from running on empty to running on plenty” while Inaba told the pair that they were “in the zone.”

Suzanne Somers and Tony Dovolani
Dance: Jive
Score: 28
“What I loved was the spring in your step!” said Inaba of their jive. Somers got emotional after their dance as she said, “I just want all the women out there who are my age to know it’s not about your age. It’s about your energy.”

Riker Lynch and Allison Holker
Dance: Foxtrot
Score: 32
The pair’s dance to Maroon 5’s “Sugar” earned them second place on the leaderboard, tying with Willis and Shields. Tonioli praised Lynch’s dancing style, calling it “so hip and so now” while Inaba said that “everything was so elegant.

In the end, Redfoo and Slater were eliminated, and the studio audience were stunned and clearly disagreed with the results.

“I’m just happy that I got the chance to dance and I did my best,” said Redfoo. “I think Emma is the best and I wanted to be there for her.”

“Dancing With the Stars” airs on Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare DLC News: DLC Pack 2 ‘Ascendance’ Arrives March 31
CoD YouTube Screencap

On March 31, Xbox One and Xbox 360 players will be the first to receive the second downloadable content pack for “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare,” according to game developer Sledgehammer Games and publisher ActiVision.

Prior to this, however, the DLC pack 2 called “Ascendance” can also be previewed at the 2015 Call of Duty Championship on March 29, which will be broadcast through Xbox Live and other broadcasting partners, according to a report in Tech Times.

Even before the new content hits game consoles, descriptions about what to expect are already available online, through various reports on gaming websites. The Tech Times report says that “Ascendance” will include “four new multiplayer maps, a bonus weapon, a custom weapon variant and the new Exo Grapple ability.”

The four new maps will feature the use of “Exo abilities” and “the next chilling entry in the Exo Zombies experience,” was the description that Sledgehammer’s Michael Condrey gave. The maps are named Perplex, Site 244, Climate and Chop Shop.

Perplex is situated in “a five-story modular apartment building that constantly changes as construction drones move the apartment’s modules.” Site 244 is set in Mt. Rushmore “where a crashed alien spaceship has spilled mysterious cargo.” In Climate, players will find themselves in “a man-made, climate-controlled enclosure, with a river that changes from being friendly to harmful.” In Chop Shop, players have to fight it out in “an industrial complex, with the map’s scorestreak allowing gamers to secure certain areas through an Advanced Repulsion Turret.”

The Exo Zombies game was first introduced in the first DLC pack “Havoc.” In this DLC pack, the game will have a new episode where players can play with John Malkovich, Bill Paxton, Rose McGowan and Jon Bernthal as they fight off hordes of zombies.

In terms of new weapons, “Ascendance” will feature the OHM directed energy light machine gun-shotgun hybrid weapon, while the custom variant is for the OHM Werewolf. The Exo Grapple on the other hand was described as something that “gives players a faster way to reach strategic vantage points or a brutal secondary weapon to take down the competition.”

The “Ascendance” DLC Pack can be bought for $15. Season Pass holders who paid $49.99 for the four DLC packs for the year will get instant access to the DLC pack once available.

Halo 5: Guardians News: Is Master Chief a Traitor? New Trailer to Reveal More on March 29
Halo 5 Picture: Microsoft

Halo 5

Christian Post Report – The release of “Halo 5: Guardians” is many months away, but the game’s creator 343 Industries and publisher Microsoft Studios are ramping up the game’s promotional campaign online. Over the weekend, the teaser site kicked off what most call an Alternate Reality Game or ARG around the main character in the game called Master Chief.

The site features a bullet with the word “TRAITOR” on it, and a sound clip with a hashtag Hunt the Truth. The sound clip features the voice of a fictional journalist named Benjamin Giraud who “has begun a brand-new investigative series that promises mystery, drama and some tantalizing intrigue.” Giraud is supposedly working on an in-depth profile of Master Chief and he is inviting fans to check the site weekly for new episodes.

The first audio episode on the Tumbler site huntthetruth.tumblr.com, entitled “Episode 00.PRIMER” has this summary: “What began as a high-profile story quickly turns into a full-blown investigation. Sources claim they know the ‘real Master Chief:’ The boy, the soldier, the hero … the traitor? But who’s telling the truth?” A new episode is due on March 29, which can provide additional clues to the mystery.

Microsoft is known for “experimental marketing campaigns” such as these. For “Halo 2,” they launched the ILoveBees campaign that had players investigate a website, solve puzzles and put the pieces of a narrative together, according to a report in Polygon. It is likely that this is the same strategy that Microsoft is doing for “Halo 5.”

“Halo 5: Guardians” is part of the “Halo” franchise. “Halo 5” is a first-person shooter video game. The game’s main characters who continue from “Halo 4,” are Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 and Spartan Locke. Master Chief is said to be on the run and Locke is tasked to hunt him down.

The game will be playable only on the Xbox One, unlike older games of the series which were playable on Xbox 360 as well. According to a Wikipedia entry, the game will run at 60 frames per second and will make use of Xbox One’s dedicated servers.

Then the king said to me, “What do you request?” So I prayed to the God of heaven.
— Nehemiah 2:4

  • Greg Laurie
    (Photo: rever Hoehne for Harvest Ministries)
    Greg Laurie, senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California and Harvest Orange County in Irvine, California, shares the Gospel with a sold-out crowd of 19,000 for Harvest America at the American Airlines Center and Victory Park in Dallas, Texas, Oct. 5, 2014.

Christian Post Report – Did you know the Lord can move the heart of a king? Or a prime minister? Or a president? The Bible says, “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes” (Proverbs 21:1).

The Bible tells the story of Nehemiah, who was cupbearer to the king of Persia. A cupbearer tasted all of the king’s food in case someone was trying to poison him. But in reality, Nehemiah was more than that. Being in such close proximity to the king, the cupbearer would end up being a counselor to the king. So the position of cupbearer became one of great influence. And someone in that situation wouldn’t have wanted to do anything to jeopardize it.

Nehemiah, however, was a Jew. He had heard about how the walls of Jerusalem lay in ruins, and his heart went out to his fellow Jews. He thought that perhaps God had put him where he was to do something good for his people. Yet to approach the king and incur his disfavor could cost him his life.

As Nehemiah pondered all this, it made him sad. The king noticed this one day and asked Nehemiah why he was depressed, so Nehemiah explained what was bothering him. Then the king said, “What do you request?”

I love what happened next: “So I [Nehemiah] prayed to the God of heaven” (Nehemiah 2:4). No doubt it was one of those prayers on the fly, the kind you pray when you’re suddenly summoned to the boss’s or principal’s office. Nehemiah prayed, and the Lord moved the king’s heart.

We need to pray for those who are in authority over us. Pray that God would help them make the right decisions and guide and lead their steps.
