So, if I go to see one of the many faith-focused movies currently running, can I skip church that weekend? While you ponder that, here's this week's link-o-rama:

• A pastor reflects on being the one succeeding David Platt, even though Platt was never there. The downside of video preaching.

• So … did Noah actually preach (as in the movie) or did his actions speak louder than words?
• Right now, John Hagee's Four Blood Moons is a huge bestseller in the Christian book market. But author Mark Hitchcock does not think the coming eclipses are prophetic markers.
• Last Thursday a New York Appeals Court overturned a 2012 ruling which now leaves schools unable to rent space to religious groups in NYC.
