This coming Friday- September 26, 2008 - a new movie will hopefully be coming to a theater near you. It is entitled "Fireproof". It was made by Alex and Stephen Kendrick and Sherwood Christian Church in Albany Georgia. They are the same people who made "Facing the Giants" back in 2006 and Flywheel previously.
This story centers on a firefighter who is facing what he sees as the end of his marriage. the Movie stars Kirk Cameron - here he is talking about the movie on the Today Show and here as well. During the interviews he talks about a plot device that is used in the movie called "The Love Dare".
I cannot urge you enough to stand up for this movie and what it stands for. Here is a link talking about the power of the book even before the movie comes out. This move (as well as "Facing the Giants") is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for having thematic material as well as some peril. I believe that this is code for some people have objections to a movie that puts God First. Isn't that crazy?
I will be there this weekend with my wife to support what I believe will be another great movie. No, I don't believe that it will win any awards for acting or cinematography, but a great movie with a great message.
Don't tell Tammy but I am on dare 14 of 40. I know that I cannot change my wife and in fact I don't even want to try. But I can change my heart, and I can be a better husband and friend. Won't you take the dare with me?
