I attended a
pre-screening sponsored by 105.9 ShineFM in Edmonton and highly recommend you
put this movie on your “must see” list.
Gun fights,
car crashes, tear jerking moments, family strife, action, drama; this movie has
it all. Not once did I think, “This is
two hours of my life I’ll never get back.”
Trust me there are lots of movies out there where that’s about all I
can say about them, but “Do You Believe” isn’t one of them!
“Do You
Believe” challenges you to answer real questions. Do you believe in Jesus Christ? Do you believe in the power of His death and
resurrection? Do you trust Him for your
salvation?
One bit of
dialogue stayed with me long after we’d left the theatre. A first responder leads a dying man to
Christ, giving him a small wooden cross. The cross becomes “exhibit A” in a lawsuit
the man’s wife files against the first responder.
He must make
a decision…does he stand up for his belief, or deny his faith to gain the
backing of his union. The prosecuting
attorney looks him in the eye and speaks these words, “This cross is gonna cost
you.”
“This cross
is gonna cost you.” How true! Following Jesus doesn’t guarantee a life
exempt from pain, sorrow, anguish, heartache, and illness. Jesus says, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their
cross and follow me. For whoever wants
to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find
it.” (Matthew 15:24-25 NIV)
The cross
will cost you. The cross will challenge
you.
The cross will save you!
The cross will save you!
Do you
believe? And if you do…what are you
doing about it?
Check out
the “Do You Believe” movie trailer and don’t miss this faith
challenging movie opening this weekend.
