I watched this tonight and absolutely loved it! Kirk Cameron does a wonderful job in this movie. I didn't really like the movie Facing the Giants too much, but I LOVED Fireproof.
In one part of the movie, Kirk walks in with a Chick-Fil-A bag. I knew he did it because Chick-Fil-A is a Christian based food chain. And I immediately thought maybe that was a little corny. But then I had a different thought. It isn't corny. It's brothers and sister supporting one another. Some writers, speaking of early Christians said that Christians were, "Crazy! They love each other before they even meet each other!"
There is absolutely nothing cheesy or stupid about being biased towards Christians. They are our family. And after all, Jesus didn't say the world would know us by our love for everyone, but by our love for each other.
Now, don't take this as "Oh my goodness, I don't love enough!" God will peel away our fears or our selfishness that hinder us from loving one another. It isn't about how big or how little your love is. It will grow by the power of the Holy Spirit and by surrendering to his initiatives. From my experience, the Holy Spirit is NEVER condemning. He is ALWAYS strengthening, encouraging and gives you more than enough ability to do what he is prompting you to do. Our Father upholds us with his very own hand.
By all means, lets be biased towards Christians!

And he interpreted in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself...
When you read the Scriptures, understand that Jesus is the hero. He is the Firstborn of all creation, he is the image of the invisible God! He is the exalted one. He has been exalted above every name that is named - that includes YOU! It isn't about your glory, but his. And HE is your glory. Jesus said that in the end, when the evil are sent away to eternal punishment, the righteous will shine like the sun (Son). Whose glory are they shining with?
Isaiah 60:19: "But the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory."
The Father seeks to glorify his Son, Jesus. He seeks to boast in the great accomplishments of his Son. Not yours. He seeks to honor and glorify the true hero - Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 60:19: "But the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory."
The Father seeks to glorify his Son, Jesus. He seeks to boast in the great accomplishments of his Son. Not yours. He seeks to honor and glorify the true hero - Jesus Christ.
