Fireproof

I really would like to go see this movie with Chad. I first heard about this movie on WNVR, Mount Vernon Nazarene University radio station, a few weeks ago. I was intrigued by this movie. Yes, I did have a crush on Kirk Cameron, who stars in this movie, while watching Growing Pains during middle school (?).

But the real reason I was intrigued by this movie is it is about marriage, real life, working through hard times. So many times I will see a preview for a movie and think, "Well that looks like a GREAT movie" very sarcastically. But I mean it this time, it does look like a great movie.

I also saw Kirk Cameron on the Today show earlier this week. He talked about his faith, his own marriage of 17 years and the 6 children they have. This is pretty unbelievable when you think of the stars of Hollywood marriages. But no surprise, he is a Christian.

Fireproof is starting in theaters today. The one in town I think is only showing it for a week, so hopefully we can make it to one of the showings. Perhaps I shouldn't be recommending a movie I have never seen but I really do look forward to watching this.

The message of Fireproof is not preachy. It's powerful, and it's real. It hits home because it addresses issues that destroy marriages and relationships on a daily basis: indifference, emotional affairs, and Internet pornography.

So whether you're single, dating, newlyweds, happily married for years, or on the brink of divorce, this movie is for you. Director/co-writer Alex Kendrick said it best at the premiere last night: "Everybody can benefit from these principles of love." Just be ready to laugh, cry, smile, and grieve before leaving the theater with much on your mind as you apply what you've seen to your own life.

"No one can predict what God will do with this movie. There's an outcome yet to be determined," Catt said. "We're just bringing our five loaves and two fish before the Lord" – and they are offering you a bite this weekend.
