Kirk Cameron and Christian Films...

i just watched the movie "COURAGEOUS".  Needless to say i was only 5% disappointed. 95% pleased:)
is it me or are "christian" movies synonymous with "it's ok, that you can't act as long as your doing it for god"? i mean c'mon! There are PLENTY of TALENTED actors/actresses that are CHRISTIANS and can properly showcase what the writers are trying to say, without sounding like...well BAD ACTORS/ACTRESSES. However, that is neither here nor there. Thankfully 'Courageous' didn't fully live up to that Stereotype.(with the exception of a few crew members passing themselves off as cast) it was well written, the characters were believable and the dynamics of the relationships were very well thought out, and although the acting was sub-par, everything else made up for it. Thank you Kendricks Brothers and the rest of the staff for actually taking pride in your work. it shows. it genuinely surprised me, because as i said earlier most "christian films" are a disappointment to... well, everything and everyone.
so we are THRILLED  to give the movie 4 out of 5 coconuts! (starts are so cliche, we are too hipster for that)
It was Overall a good movie. i recommend it. to EVERYONE!

(ha. like our opinion matters)

Because i am not a husband, a father, or... a man. i received the message in a VERY different light. It was nice to see a movie about men of God raising up and being well, men. but what STOOD out to me was how God moved in their lives BECAUSE they lived for him. in THAT aspect i can relate since it doesn't matter that i'm a girl.

My absolute FAVORITE scene(s) in the movie(which is the source of this post) was how  God set javier and Adam up... if you don't know what i'm talking about... GO WATCH THE MOVIE! i promise it is worth it for this ONE SCENE!.

It BLEW my mind! God is ALWAYS working! on your behalf! he loves you! and wants the very BEST for you! all he wants you to do is LIVE for him.
it's not easy, but it's WAAAAAYYYY easier than we think.

God is calling YOU BY NAME! just like adam called javier by name. he wants to love you and provide for you and give to you.

i'm rambling. let's make this really simply. k?

God wants YOUR all, in exchange for HIS all.

How FREAKING AWESOME IS THAT!?

as believers , lets make a choice today and everyday to live for GOD!
