'Fireproof' Drive-In

I am married to an incredible woman who loves Christ and faithfully puts up with me and my idiosyncrasies. Sometimes we don't agree, we 'discuss', and we sometimes fall in the habit of co-habitation as opposed to husband and wife like God intended.

In a recent message by John Piper, he quoted CS Lewis who said, 'The ideal marriage is one that is most like a crucifiction' - in other words, the husband DIES for her. I think that is the way Jesus meant it to be and that is how much I love her.

I have never seen this movie as I live in a closet socially, but I have heard some incredible things about it.

Sometimes, movies have the ability to evoke emotions within us that we find individually difficult to outwardly express. That is what I LOVE about movies. Like Rocky Balboa running up the steps in Philly to Gonna Fly Now, I have high hopes for this movie and look forward to this weekend. If you are living in the Golden Valley area or thereabouts, pile the kids in the car and come out.

Here is the trailer...

Grace & Peace
