This bring us to the last Christian film in this series and a lead in to our next topic - marriage.
Yep, that's right, the movie is 'Fireproof'.
Now, when this came out, the secular world screamed 'why did they need a movie to teach us how to be married?' Answer, put so beautifully by one of the secondary characters, 'You have to lead your heart.', something the secular world does not seem to understand.
Staying in love is a conscious choice. Everyday you have to remind yourself why you love the other person and not just look at their shortcomings and think, 'there has to be someone better out there.'
God made marriage for life.
You never leave your partner behind.
Take the love dare.

Why Not Question : 'The Passion of the Christ'
'The Passion of the Christ' was a controversial film when it was released. The common complaint was that it was violent and bloody. The real problem is that the Western World had sanitized Jesus' death on the cross and events leading up to it. The honest truth is that Mel Gibson, the director, didn't push it as far as the actual reality.
If he had, it would have been completely unwatchable.
It is a powerful film recommended for everyone. It shows the price paid for salvation and how grateful everyone should be because of Jesus' sacrifice. Definitely the perfect movie to watch just before Easter.

Why Not Question : More recommended Christian films
For a number of reasons the series on Christian films will be carried through out April and the new series on Marriage will begin in May.
So, this week, is a mixture of recommended films.
'Deceived.'Cloud Ten Pictures. Sort of Science Fiction combined with the seven deadly sins. A signal from outer space, the military trying to keep it quiet, and the scientists wanting to share it. Yet, what is the real truth?
'The Gospel'. Sony Pictures. A wonderful musical and heart warming plot line with the prodigal son returning home. Lots of worship dance, singing, and an excellent cast.
'Joshua'. Epiphany Films. How would you react if you saw a man walking down the street easily carrying a log? Who is he and where did he come from? Would you believe the answer when he told you?
'The Miracle of the Cards'. Cloud Ten Pictures. Based on a true story. 1.3 Million get well cards - a Guinness World Record. A young boy with brain cancer experiences several miraculous events because of his mother's faith and drive to save his life.
'Man of Miracles'. Synchronicity Productions. Was it an angel who saved a preacher's life? And why?
'The Second Chance'. Triumph Films. Starring Michael W. Smith. Ethan Jenkins (Smith) is sent by the Elders of his church to work in their sister branch. He learns about hope and how to restore it in a desperate area of town. The final scene alone is worth watching this film.
'The Wager'. Pure Flix Entertainment. Loosely based on the book of Job a singer finds his life suddenly upset by a series of strange circumstances almost as if there was a wager on what how he'd react and whether or not his faith would remain strong.
'Waterproof'. Cloud Ten Pictures. Starring Burt Reynolds. A shopkeeper is shot and then abducted by the shooter's mother. She takes him home to her family in a small southern town with their own secrets to resolve.
