Some Good News

A few blogs ago I told you about the movie "Fireproof" starring Kirk Cameron.

I have some good news concerning the movie. It has been doing very well at the box office of which I am very grateful. However, what I want to share today has eternal significance.

A couple of weeks ago Kirk Cameron & Ray Comfort were holding one of their "Transformed" conferences here on the East Coast. After the conference Ray & Kirk went to a showing of the movie. They entered the theater with only about 30 minutes left in the movie. When the movie concluded, Kirk stood up and introduced himself. According to Ray "...you could have heard a pin drop."

Kirk spoke about some of the highlights of the movie, and explained that the woman he kissed in the movie was not his on screen wife, but his real wife who was flown in as a "stunt double". Kirk went on to introduce Ray Comfort who took the opportunity to preach the gospel.

Once Ray finished the duo thanked the crowd for the opportunity to share with them and attempted to make a quick exit. As they were leaving a tall man in his 30's ran after them and said that he wanted to surrender his life to Christ.

I love this story for several reasons: #1 - It shows that sharing the gospel isn't just something that Ray & Kirk talk about but something they do consistently. #2 - It shows the power that media can have when presenting the gospel. #3 - Ultimately, it demonstrates the power of the Gospel when it is shared. We cannot expect the gospel to simply jump off the pages of scripture. We are the vehicle that God uses to put the Gospel in the hands of the people who need to hear it.

May the Lord bless you this weekend and may you respond to the opportunities that God gives you to share the Good News.
