Paul, the Apostle of Christ - movie

Last Saturday we watch this new movie, Paul the Apostle of Christ from itunes.
It's a good movie.

The synopsis
Paul, Apostle of Christ is the story of two men. Luke, as a friend and physician, risks his life every time he ventures into the city of Rome to visit Paul, who is held captive in Nero's darkest, bleakest prison cell. Before Paul's death sentence can be enacted, Luke resolves to write another book, one that details the beginnings of "The Way" and the birth of what will come to be known as the church. But Nero is determined to rid Rome of Christians, and does not flinch from executing them in the grisliest ways possible. Bound in chains, Paul's struggle is internal. He has survived so much--floggings, shipwreck, starvation, stoning, hunger and thirst, cold and exposure--yet as he waits for his appointment with death, he is haunted by the shadows of his past misdeeds. Alone in the dark, he wonders if he has been forgotten... and if he has the strength to finish well. Two men struggle against a determined emperor and the frailties of the human spirit in order to bequeath the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.

What we could take back from this movie 
1. Love is the only Way
2. God's way is not our way
3. There's nothing impossible for God, He can change the heart's of man
4. God can make use of any situation to save one man's soul

The Shack Movie

Few weeks ago, we as family watched this movie "The Shack" at our parish church.
The movie was incredible good and mama decided to write in this blog so that Tromson may watch it in the future when he's grown up.

The synopsis :
After suffering a family tragedy, Mack Phillips spirals into a deep depression that causes him to question his innermost beliefs. Facing a crisis of faith, he receives a mysterious letter urging him to an abandoned shack in the Oregon wilderness. Despite his doubts, Mack journeys to the shack and encounters an enigmatic trio of strangers led by a woman named Papa. Through this meeting, Mack finds important truths that will transform his understanding of his tragedy and change his life forever.

The message that mama received from this movie :
1. Our purpose of life is to be loved and to love
We are created as God image which God's nature is Love, so each of us is called to love as God loves us.
If we are fail to love or feel to be loved, there's must be something wrong within us. Perhaps it's painful experience, betrayal etc so we must come back to the source of Love and trust God to heal and renew us

2. Are we God ?
Eventhough we are God's perfect creation, we are not God. However because of the original sin from Adam and Eve, we like to take God's role to be God. We love to judge the good and the bad.
Unfortunately what we thought is good sometimes it clashes with other's good and end up the world becomes so chaotic

3. Our Future is with God
Without Him, we won't have future. We can't do everything by ourselves

4. Let it Go
To come back to our original call, we need to let go our pain and learn to forgive those who hurt us because God also loves those who hurt us and by forgiving them, we also setting them free so that God can redeem them from the evil

Hopefully, when Tromson's grown up, he can watch this movie again and find other meanings that come alive in his life

Moms Night Out Movie

Yesterday, papa rent this movie from itunes titled Moms Night Out
And absolutely mommy can relate with the movie, the moms hehe...cos it happens to mommy too.

It's about mother who wants to strive for perfection and full control of situation and end up exhausted even her night out which supposed to be unplug and great turns out haywire

In the end, it has beautiful message that we are created inperfect and this is why God uses us
Sometimes we can't take full charge of everything and let God do the rest

and the synopsis is below

Honor Begins at Home

Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, David Thomson, and Shane Fuller are confident and focused. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood.

While they consistently give their best on the job, good enough seems to be all they can muster as dads. But they're quickly discovering that their standard is missing the mark.

When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God ... and to their children?
Filled with action-packed police drama, COURAGEOUS is the fourth film from Sherwood Pictures, the moviemaking ministry of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia. Riveted moviegoers will once again find themselves laughing, crying, and cheering as they are challenged and inspired by everyday heroes who long to be the kinds of dads that make a lifelong impact on their children.

Protecting the streets is second nature to these men. Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That's courageous
