Fireproof

The other night we finally rented the movie Fireproof. I admit I was skeptical about watching it. Usually movies that are made through Christian organizations are cheesy, poor acting, or the story line is not that great. I had head reviews about this movie and wanted to see it, so we did.

I admit, I was surprised. It was a good movie. I will confess that some parts were cheesy, and some acting could have been better, there could have been more to the story- but it was a wholesome movie. I would recommend it to others to watch. You can read what others have said here, here, and here.

I do wish that the Gospel was more of a focus in the movie- in fact it should have been the focus. They depended a lot on love- but without the Gospel it is impossible to love that selfless love. We went to a wedding the other day and I was confronted with this problem there as well. The people getting married were believers, but there was no mention of the Gospel at their wedding. We are in such a "me" driven culture/sinful nature. We cannot find the strength or even the desire to love apart from Jesus through the Gospel.

The New Inductive Study Bible Give Away

Precept Ministries International is giving away Bibles and other Bible Studies this month.

Here is some info they sent me:

With all of the struggles and tension in the world today, is it any wonder that people become discouraged and depressed? Where do you turn for help? Who can you trust and believe? What is the truth?

Precept Ministries' mission is to establish people in God's Word. We help people discover God's Truth for themselves — real, enduring Truth. And we'd like to do that for you. That's why we're giving away 10 Bonded Leather New Inductive Study Bibles and 122 of our award-winning Bible Studies during the month of April.

The New Inductive Study Bible is different. Other study Bibles tell you what the commentators think the text means. The New Inductive Study Bible helps you discover for yourself what the text truly says and means. Learn the Inductive Bible Study Method with the New Inductive Study Bible’s instructions for studying the Bible inductively, including help with marking symbols and making lists. Each book of the Bible has individualized instructions to guide you on your journey and includes thought-provoking application questions. Charts, maps, timelines, and illustrations throughout the text also help you with each book of the Bible. Plus it includes a concordance, a harmony of the Gospels, Bible reading plans, a concise history of Israel and much more to enrich your Bible study.

Precept Ministries’ award-winning Inductive Bible Studies have helped millions of people around the world discover the truth of God’s Word for themselves. The studies cover the full breadth of the Books of the Bible as well as specific topics that meet each person’s particular need and application.
