Kathy Thank You very much for that!! That made my day. I agree, it's so easy to lose the fulness of the rich words, quotes & events of the Bible. May we bring back the AWE of GOD!!! Bill

David (my husband & pastor of New Hope) made sure that our congregation was aware of the movie and then preached a sermon specifially on God's precious grace for us as a reminder lest we do take it for granted.  I had two of our youth sing the Chris Tomlin version of Amazing Grace/My Chains are Gone (which is awesome).  That opened dialogue for the two girls who sang it and hopefully made a deeper impression on their hearts.

My favorite quote from the movie?  Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly. I'm a great sinner but Christ is a great Savior. 

Thanks for a great post!

This gets a star. Kathy, Think you for reminding me how important the Grace of God is. We can easily forget just how good God is to us.

 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved;

Kathy, what a beautiful post!!! Your words have moved me to tears. I was feeling a little down today. Now I’ve remembered how lost I once was - eternal perspective. Thank you.  I can’t wait to see this movie. I wonder if it is out on DVD yet. Love from your sis,Mary Ann

Very nice post Kathy!  It is just amazing that God gives us, not only salvation, which we do not deserve, but the many other gifts that have come to us day by day over the years!  

Our family plans to see the movie when it comes to the discount theatre!

Bill and Mary Ann, isn't it great the way God uses our fellowship to bring comfort to each other!  Bunny, what a great service!  There are few movies I would promote from the pulpit, but this is one of the few!  Pop culture brings us an open door to discuss important issues, and it's evident that David is taking advantage of this opportunity!  Mike1, Mike2, Karl, and Voice, thank you for your encouragement and support.  Pastor Carlucci, what a great dog story!  I'm glad we hang out with the right "Big Dog"!  Mary Ann, the movie is just out in the theaters, so it isn't on DVD yet, but it doesn't take long to get there anymore!  And Karl, I look forward to hearing your thoughts when you see it!  "The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all!"
