An awesome movie

[jesussaves]

There is a line of movies that will bless any Christian. They are the Billy Graham movies. Two of my favorites are The Homecoming and Power Play. Ofcourse these are not for rent anywhere that I know of. You have to buy them, but it is well worth the investment.

[other one]

Just thought I would recommend this great movie to my brothers and sisters. Enough talking about "the passion" and see this one. I loved it so much I bought a copy.

the Gospel of John

Watch it and come back and tell us what you thought of it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I bought it last year, and think it is a very good movie. It is one of those things that I will watch once a year at about this time of year.

Another movie, along these same lines, that is pretty good, only shorter than "The Gospel of John" is the Jesus Film that Campus Crusade made for it's members to use as evangelism tools. If you want to get someone interested in Christ that is a movie buff it is good tool and I only pay about ten bucks a piece for them in dvd and less than that for vhs.

I recommend renting the movie' LORENZOS' OIL

This is a true story about a boy born with a very rare disease that leaves one eventually paralyzed,unable to speak or communicate,yet totally aware of all his surroundings.This disease would claim the life of its victims usually before they reach their teenage years.

Lorenzo's parents would not except the facts from the medical community ,friends, family, that their was nothing anyone could do for their son.Many believed as they seen Lorenzo in a apparent vegitative state,that he would be better off to die.

I will say no more about the movie other then this.

Today,Lorenzo is alive and well!!! So is every child born today with this disease .At the end of the movie,you will see real pictures of those who live today because of this 'OIL'.not to mention a picture of Lorenzo.

His father was a very tireless man,and was determined to save his son.

Some thought he was behaving like a mad scientist.

But he was driven by hope and and the love for his son.

This movie was written for a secular audience,but there is no doubt in my mind God must have been moved by this fathers longsuffering and determination.

FYI-If I remember correctly,It can be difficult to hear at times due to the strong accents-german accent if I remember correctly.It is well worth getting thru the accent!

A MUST SEE!

Well, I just rented "Luther". I will let you guys know how it goes when I am done. :-)

[O'Dannyboy]

Having now seen "Luther" I must say I was quite impressed. The movie impressed on me and reminded me how legalistic we can be. On the other hand I had no idea how much control and influence the Papacy had during the times of the Reformation. I cannot comprehend how the leaders of the church could have been so arrogant to think only they were worthy to interpret Gods word.

This is a great movie that I would also recommend. I would probably say PG-13 but perhaps you should judge for yourselves if you would have your children watch it.

I hope a few of you have had time to rent "The Gospel of John". The makers and directors of this movie spared no expense to be as accurate to scripture as they possible could be. Truely I was bless to find this movie. If you like some I know are unable to sleep without the TV on this is a great movie to have on while you sleep.

Joshua the movie is great !!

[O'Dannyboy]

I haven't seen it for rent anywhere but I will look for it. Sadly there are not as many Christian movies as I would like but I am hopeful that may change.

[jesussaves]

There is a beautiful movie that came out a few years ago called, "The Christmas Shoes." It is one of the best made and beautifully devised movies I have seen.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Ran across "Joshua" on the shelf. Was in the Family section. Will watch it tonight when I get home from work. Looks pretty interesting. It seems almost that I have seen this one before but I am not certain. I am familiar with the main actor and have enjoyed his work in the past.

On a side note I find myself more and more disgusted by the numbers of movies about gay relationships. I was tempted to break the disks over my knee but I resisted. It frightens me to think that in time these kind of relationships could be widely considered "normal". I am not quite ready to stop renting my movies there over the ordeal but is to me a way I can measure how tolerant we are becoming.

Back to the movie. I will let you know what I think after I have seen it. But as I said, I have it at home and can't wait to see it.
