Great movie!

Someone else gets it! So thankful for this movie! My husband and I enjoyed it. We will be sharing it with our kids and family. Most Christian movies aren't "Christian" anymore. This one is and I'm thankful for it. I had my doubts when starting it but they were quickly alleviated. This is an all around great Christian movie that sends a very clear message. It wakes you up and warns about the "largest church in America". Blessings to all of the people involved in making this movie. We need more Jesus. And we need more people willing to show how modern world is corrupting us without our knowledge.

Christian Propaganda

I was raised christian and it's trash like this that sent me away from the Church. Christianity teaches us that the meek shall inherit the Earth but this movie teaches us that coercion and media manipulation will save us... The irony is that all the things this story purports to be fighting for, is exactly their solution; fighting and persuasion to be a certain way (while at the same time, condemning the ways it disagrees with!).

At the end of the day (or end of days even), it will come to pass that the people who weren't judgemental of how others lived and were just kind, will find a place in Paradise and the people who tried to force their beliefs onto others or judged people because they had different ideologies than them, will be the ones banished for all eternity.

If you believe in that sort of thing.

Good Movie with Bad Theology

I saw this recently on YouTube for free. Overall, it was a good movie in the sense of acting, filmography, and script. My only contention is that it promotes the idea that Christians need to 'Beat the world at its own game'. Basically, it says that rather than separating from the world, that Christians should try to beat the world at its own game by making movies, using radio, etc. This is the idea of Kingdom Now Theology in which we are to reform and Christianize the world, which is unbiblical.

Very important and thought-provoking movie.

It was about time that a movie producer took the active courage to reflect on his own industry. This movie is very much needed in today's society, probably not only in the US, but all over the world.

While writers such as the Anglican A. W. Tozer condemn the showing of Christian movies in a church and go as far as to strongly condemn the profession of an actor (plain legalism, although he certainly employs some truth), most of us on the other hand have become way to liberal when it comes to the consumption of non-Christian movies and even when it comes to 'Christian' movies.

The truth is found somewhere in between. We as Christians ought to avoid secular movies whenever possible (there is more than enough offer in good Christian movies as this ministry proves), while on the other hand much better discerning Christian movies (there are many very bad and actually damaging 'Christian' movies).

Quote of the movie:

"If you turn away from 'ung-dly' movies and media that doesn't make you right with the 'Lord' (KYRIOS). That can just be a work of the flesh. He said 'We must turn to the 'Lord' first and the SPIRIT of 'G-d' (THEOS) will help you turn from these 'ung-dly' movies and influences. It's always got to start with the 'Lord'. He needs to be the 'Lord' of our entertainment choices."

Good movie. Thought provoking

The acting was well done. I love the idea of more movies that lift us up and encourage strong family and personal relationships.

I recommend this movie.

Quotes
Emeka Odum: Let's say I go to your church and preach the morning sermon. Halfway through the sermon I curse the name of Jesus, or as some would say, I use the Lord's name in vain. Will that not wake up your congregation? So then I preach a little more and then I curse His name again. How would they react to that? And then I preach a little more and I curse His name again. Would the people not be upset? Then I bring up a young couple on the platform and they start to kiss and take their clothes off, right there, in church, on a Sunday morning. How long do you think your congregation will allow this to go on? Would they not say, "This is most awful thing, to curse the name of Jesus in church? And to have them take off their clothes here in front of everyone? Would they not be appalled? Would they not yell out "Stop it! You cannot do this in this place."? But yet, I say 12 hours earlier, on Saturday night, in a movie theater, when this exact same thing occurs, it is entertainment? My friend, something is wrong. We must make up our mind. It is either entertainment Saturday night in the theater and entertainment Sunday morning in church, or it is most sinful Sunday morning in church *and* most sinful Saturday night in the theater. This is why I say the movie theater is the most powerful church in America. It's the only place where Christians go to hear the name of Jesus Christ used as a swear word, and to watch nakedness, and yet pay their money to be entertained.
David Williams: I never thought of it like that before.
Emeka Odum: I say this trembling, David: Most people go to church in America know not Jesus. The Bible says in the last days men have become lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God. Is this not the case in America now? Ask yourself, would I go to the movie theater to hear my name cursed? Then why go to the theater to hear His name cursed? David, would you go to the theater to see your daughter naked on the screen? So why go see someone else's daughter naked on the screen? It is great sinfulness in the eyes of God.
