- She had what some might consider the most challenging role of any of the acting nominees. Bening plays Diana Nyad in the film, who at the age of 64 attempts to become the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without the use of a shark net.
- She’s Annette Bening. She made her first big splash with her electrifying performance in 1990’s “The Grifters,” which earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
- She plays a real-life person. We can never underestimate what a significant factor that is in the lead acting contests. Three of this year’s Best Actor nominees portray real people.

This is not a pretty picture of Isaac. Some try to excuse him by saying that maybe he didn’t know or had forgotten about God’s prophecy to Rebekah, that the older son would serve the younger. But surely Rebekah would have told and have frequently reminded Isaac of that prophecy, especially when she sensed Isaac’s favoritism toward Esau and wanted t...
Rebekah wanted God’s choice (Jacob), but for selfish reasons. He was her favorite. He was her pawn in her power struggle against her husband. So even though on the surface she could claim, “I just want God’s will,” the claim was a pious fraud. Rebekah wanted her way. She was willing to deceive her blind husband and to draw her son into deception to...
Again, I must disagree with commentators who exonerate Jacob. Some say that he was valuing spiritual things and, after all, he was only obeying his mother. But remember, the man wasn’t a teenager—he was probably 77 years old! He should have rebuked his mother for her deceptive scheme. Clearly, Jacob is not a spiritually-minded man. He does not fear...
While we may sympathize with Esau, there is no doubt that he was seeking his own way. Granted, he was the older brother, so the birthright and blessing should have been his. But he had made a legal agreement with his brother to sell his birthright. It was not true, as Esau laments, that Jacob took away his birthright (27:36). Esau gave it up. Here,...
Let me draw four concluding lessons from this drama: (1) If we sow to the flesh, we’ll reap from the flesh. The law of sowing and reaping is as true for God’s people as it is for unbelievers. If you live for the pleasures of the flesh, you will reap from the flesh corruption (Gal. 6:7-8). If you live for the things of this world, you may get them, ...
Someone may fear, “If I yield my rights and go God’s way, I’ll get trampled.” How would you counsel them?Does seeking God’s way mean always doing what I don’t like and not doing what I enjoy? How do I know when I’m doing things God’s way?Can a wife be submissive to God and to her husband and yet confront him with his sin? How?Is total honesty always the best policy? What about when honesty would hurt someone’s feelings?1 Timothy 2:3-6: (NKJV) “3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,”.
