FIREPROOF The Movie: In Theaters September 26, 2008
Marriage is a COVENANT RELATIONSHIP between two people. In most wedding ceremonies you will hear the minister say something like, "We are gathered here in the presence of God and these witnesses." Marriage was God's idea. He performed the first wedding and in His own words, "It was very good." Fact is, only God could have authored something this good.
Marriage is a WORKING RELATIONSHIP that takes daily care and attention. Yes it does! Because you have two sinners living in the flesh making up this relationship, there is much work to be done. When we start out we promise, "forsaking all others I will be true only to you." And, "for better for worse." We promise to cherish, be faithful and do so "til death do we part."
Marriage is a BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIP that is a picture of Christ and His church. The wife is to the husband as the church is to Christ. And the husband is to the wife as Christ is to the church. What a beautiful picture this is. In some way all married couples have "wedding pictures." However, there is no picture more precious than a marriage that honors Christ.
My wife Phyllis and I will celebrate 35 years of marriage in August. It seems like yesterday that I stood with my dad and my pastor at the front of a church full of family and friends and saw the most beautiful woman in the world come through the door on her dad's arm. We decided before that day to have a marriage committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and that we were in this for the long haul. It has not been perfect. It has not been easy. It has not been without tough times, but it has been with HIM.
I still can't believe that Phyllis and I had the awesome privilege of playing the parts of John and Cheryl Holt in Sherwood Pictures newest motion picture, Fireproof. We can hardly wait until next week. Tuesday evening there will be a private showing of the movie at Sherwood for current members. Then again on June 8 at the SBC Pastor's Conference those attending will be able to see the movie.
Below are some short videos (movie trailer, behind the scenes and music video) for your enjoyment.
Pray that God will keep His Almighty hand on the movie and please share it with all you know.
