Totally agree with your thinking Steve! I think sometimes even having a church where we can go sit on a pew is detrimental to Christians. The alternative would be to go mingle in society and take the love of God to the world through practical service. But most Christians want to take the easy and painless way. And I am a great fan of discipleship.

She was also a bit too sexy in my book. Clothing a bit skimpy. Yes, I KNOW it was animated, but we shouldn’t “normalize” near nudity and desensitize our young men…

Steve,
I totally agree with you. There are many, many movies out there to beware of, but this isn’t one of them. One caution, though, I did get the impression they had sex under that special tree. That’s how they showed they had chosen each other, and why no one could break them up. I think that in itself was an interesting statement. Once they had sex, they had to be together. That was the “right” way in their culture, or at least one that couldn’t be argued with. Now, of course we would require a ceremony before God, but in a way, they committed to each other before their god, and it was binding. If you see it again, tell me if you don’t see where I think they “did it”… Not too graphic, but if a sharp young one is paying attention, there may be questions.

Could not agree with you more Steve. You’re putting my thoughts into words!

I like your post here…really! Steve, I tried to email you back regarding the World Mission Impact blog, but the email was rejected. Don’t know why. Could you shoot me a different email address, perhaps?

Steve, I agree with you. We Christians are way too critical of things. Yes, we need to be discerning, but this movie is not a documentary, it is sci-fi. If you like that sort of movie, go for it. I think I would like to see it to experience the special 3-D effects. Let’s let our light shine for Jesus and may our words draw people to Him and not repel them away.

Thanks Jan, so far the response has been positive, but I know I will strike a nerve with some.

Hi Steve, I’m glad to hear that I’m not they only one who thought to myself, ‘It’s just a sci-fi movie’. We took our company with us to see it and I was thinking this will be a great memory in years to come. If christians spent one fouth the time praising and wittnesing for Christ, how good would that be! Jan

I totally agree with your article. When will we as Christians ever realize WE cannot manipulate God? I hate the “if you do this in so many minutes, something good will happen” as if by doing so God is now required to do something on our behalf. Can I have permission to post this article on my blog?
