Movie Review

Yes, I went to see a movie. At the theatre even. The movie we went to see as a family was called "Fireproof" (www.fireproofthemovie.com) and was the latest in the releases from the Kendrick brothers. We had seen the previews on the internet and were pretty excited as it deals with marriage which is in a sad state in the world and something that has become a huge problem in Christianity.

The writers and makers of the movie did a wonderful job presenting the problem and even better presenting the resolution. The best thing about all this was they dealt with another large issue directly, as a part of this movie which I won't give away as it is another cornerstone of the plot.

The real blessing to me about this movie was that there was a full theater (and I mean full - hardly a few seats empty) AND they presented the gospel relentlessly throughout the movie. The scene where the main character, Caleb, comes to Christ is such a beautiful portrayal of man that I was in awe. It truly was beautiful.

I would highly recommend people to see this movie, to support their efforts as long as they are glorifying Christ, and to encourage those that don't know the Lord to see this movie. You won't be disappointed.
