FireProof

Reasons to go see the movie FireProof:

1. This is a film created by Christians. Although the quality of this film—acting, directing, cinematography, etc.—is certainly sub-par compared to films produced from mainstream Hollywood, you should support the efforts of other Christians. Many people scoff at this film and criticize the embarrassing previous efforts made by Christian organizations to produce a movie, but we should support the efforts of other Christians.

2. That being said, viewing this movie is an edifying experience. It presents the Gospel in Biblical language, and it promotes Biblical virtues and morality in an environment that is so filled with immoral and anti-God experiences—"Quarantine," "Blindness," "Saw V," etc.

3. It promotes fighting to save a marriage in the context of a Divorce-Saturated society. There is a wise quote from the movie in which a man says (regarding loving your wife), "do not follow your heart; you must lead your heart" in loving your wife. Loving your spouse is a decision to be obedient to a covenant... serving and loving your spouse no matter what her response is or what gratification you get in return. That is how Christ loves His Church; and this is a choice that can only be carried out when we fully grasp this love of Christ.

4. Non-Believers who view this movie will be exposed to the Gospel. Even though "conversions" and "Gospel Presentations" in films are inevitably cheesy, God can, and will, use scenes from this movie to convict non-believing hearts.

5. This film promotes the Christlike quality of selflessness. Kirk Cameron's character experiences consistent situations that bring frustration... yet he is driven to press on with a selfless purpose.
