I finally watched it

Several months ago I shared some information about the then upcoming release of the movie Fireproof. Since we didn't have any movie theaters close by that was showing the film I had to wait for the DVD to be released. Last night, at home with my wife and kids, I finally watched it.

First off I want to say "Job well done." Sherwood Baptist Church and its ministry has released another remarkable movie. If you are a fan of Flywheel or Facing the Giants, then you will love this movie. I will tell you that you shouldn't expect the same emotions simply because you are dealing with a different topic. However, if you are struggling in marriage - or have ever struggled in marriage - I believe that you will find yourself in this couple.

Having Kirk Cameron as a part of the cast definitely doesn't hurt the movie. Usually Sherwood uses their own congregation for actors and for the most part that is still true of this movie. You will see some of the same faces on the screen but the couple portrayed gives you some freshness.

The Kendrick brothers (creators of Flywheel, Facing the Giants, & Fireproof) have hit another one out of the park. These guys attack various issues with each movie and are able to do so with clarity, humanity, and humor. Maybe that is why we find ourselves in these movies...considering that these guys have been through or fleshed out some of the topics they are willing to tackle. From the common everyday fighting, selfishness, the temptation of adultery/pornography...you name it - they deal with it. And with that willingness they have elevated the platform of the church to speak out with authority on various issues.

If you haven't watched it - rent or buy it. It would be a wonderful collection for your own DVD Library. I will also encourage every couple to take the "Love Dare" that is presented in this movie as it will enhance your relationship with your spouse. I'm sure that you will find Fireproof to be challenging and encouraging in your own marriage and that is why I recommend it to everyone.

Don't be one of those people who sit around and complain that there are never any good movies that come out. Sherwood Baptist Church is doing all they can to produce good, family oriented films that can be watched by every member of the household. Support their ministry and pray that God will continue to provide the means necessary to carry out this ministry to its fullness.

I hope you all have a great day in the Lord. Be Blessed.
