Movies Worth Watching




I discovered this movie company last year. I watched Facing the Giants and LOVED it. I am SO tired of Hollywood movies that don't represent MY standards, that promote violence, dishonesty and sex. This movie showed people who search the scriptures and prayed for answers when they are in trouble. People who put the Lord first and based their decisions on His word. Though this may offend some - this is important to me. Their lastest movie, Fireproof, was released last month in theaters all around the country. It was created to strenghen families and marriages. Their tenets are different than mine, but when Christ's values are promoted in such a public forum, I have to applaud. The goal of strenthening families against the assault currently underway is something that should be taken up by every Christian.

These three movies were made by a church in Albany, Georgia. Their mission statement?
"Sherwood Baptist Church exists to touch the whole world, with the whole Word, motivated by a passion for Christ and compassion for all people."
This is a clip about how they produce these movies:

"MEDIA VOLUNTEERS
The media ministry of Sherwood is blessed with many volunteers. These special people give their precious time and God-given talents to serve the Lord through the ministry of sound, lighting, camera operation, engineering and much more. Without the commitment of these people, there would be no media ministry at Sherwood."

Awesome.

I've heard people talk about "Fireproof", but I haven't heard about the other movies.
