1 | What about "The Passion of the Christ"? | Luke 24:14 | Rowdy | 114088 | ||
I can only tell you what our congregation is doing. Our elders have repeatedly asked us to first of all, go and see the movie, experience it for ourselves. Our preacher is seeing it this week and plans to preach about it this coming Sunday. Our elders are also strongly encouraging us to use this ideal opportunity to talk to our friends and loved ones, our co-workers, virtually everyone we know and open a dialouge so as to share Christ and the Gospel with them. I must admit it's very easy to do, I like to go to movies with my wife anyway and talk about the movie industry in a general sort of way. But this movie with its controversial background and the media hype does make this an ideal opportunity to show your faith, build up someone else's faith and share your faith with an unbeliever. Personaly, if a person doesn't take advantage of this golden opportunity, one would wonder about their committment and dedication. Don't you think we owe it to our God and to our fellow man to do this and do it with zeal and enthusiasm? What would be your thoughts on the matter? Anyone else? Let us all know. God bless. |

2 | What about "The Passion of the Christ"? | Luke 24:14 | BradK | 114095 | ||
Rowdy, I know several both on this Forum and within our church fellowship who have seen the movie. Most were moved by it in ways that no other film has done. We also plan to see it in the near future:-) Personally though I wouldn't make this a "test" of one's dedication or committment, nor would I say we owe it to our God. That would be a little too legalistic from my standpoint. What we owe our God is to be faithful to what He has called us to. We should "walk by faith, not sight". If that includes sharing this movie or encouraging a non-believing friend to go, I think that's great! This movie can certainly be used as an evangelism tool, but it's only one of many we already have:-) I would more opt to work on my relationships with those in my association to witness via my lifestyle by being an example. Those are my thoughts. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
