Barnum was right.

THE JESUS FILM - 35th anniversary
...because Seeing
is Believing
Every eight seconds, somewhere in the world, another person indicates a decision to follow Christ after watching the “JESUS” film.
Every eight seconds... that’s 10,800 people per day, 324,000 per month and more than 3.8 million per year! That’s like the population of the entire city of Pittsburgh, PA coming to Christ every 28 ¼ days. And yet, if you are like many people, you may have never even heard of it.
Called by some “one of the best-kept secrets in Christian missions,” a number of mission experts have acclaimed the film as one of the greatest evangelistic tools of all time. Since 1979 more than 200 million men, women and children worldwide have indicated decisions to follow Jesus after viewing the film. In addition, through hundreds of partners an estimated 10+ million decisions have been made as the film “JESUS” is used extensively by the Body of Christ worldwide.
“But how can any single film reach so many people and touch so many lives?”
It is the power of the Word of God in their heart language.
The sea change in Hollywood is already underway. “Son Of God” & “God’s Not Dead” flicks are in the vanguard of change!!! Even “Noah” helps a bit!!! Look....the Obamabot Hollywood is passe’!!! No one with half a brain cares what Michael Douglas thinks or says.....ditto for DeNiro, Weinstein, DeCaprio, Spielberg, NIcholson, Streep, Clooney, etc......all of them has beens and boring to boot!!!
Have faith in our maker. He and he alone controls the destiny of the world and life, itself. Obama and all his “Hollywood: elistist Obamabot low life dregs, are just mere human beings ....and, like all of us that have been born and will die when God carries out his purpose and deems our individual life purpose has been fulfilled. Those.....like Obama, etc. that believe they are living gods will find mortality is real and cannot be changed. Dumb folks....that’s what they are!!! They need to prayed for and brought back to salvation from evil and Satan.
Remember this great experiment called America is God’s will!!! How come???
Why, simple....the Almighty gave us the great leaders we needed....when we really needed them!!! George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan!!! And...he will lead us to a new leader that will sustain and grow the great American nation into the future. God is good!!! Have Faith!!!
Last night a good friend took her son to see Noah. This morning he told her that he had spent the last four hours reading the first twenty five chapters of Genesis.
Perhaps God is using this director to plant seeds which we can’t recognize. The friend’s son hasn’t read the Bible before but he may be beginning to see the truth of God’s Word.
Hollywood has never, ever been the source of good history. Why do we still act surprised?
A bunch of strawman, simpleton nonsense. Hollywood producers, directors, and actors could very easily make excellent, accurate Biblical films, and they’d make a killing doing it, but their ideology won’t allow them to commit their talent or their resources, nor will it allow them to make the resources available to those who would.
Why not a movie about MAO and Stalin being the murderous mouth breathers they ACTUALLY were..
And/Or a movie about Barry Half-White being the mental drooling liar he really IS.....
Or the Hildebeast being the Witch she actually IS...
Put your money where your mouth is Townhall and do it yourself.
Pastor Doug, there’s taking license with Biblical narratives where a reasonable person who knows the story can say “Okay, that’s not in the Bible, but it’s not out of line with it, it could have happened, it works dramatically, I’ll suspend disbelief and let it slide,”, and then there’s taking license with Biblical narratives where they say “Dude, you’ve got to be kidding me.” “Noah” sounds as if it’s more of a case of the latter.
Bill Cunningham said he saw the movie and it was very BORING. He said twice on his radio show, don’t see it.
Sounds like, not only is it a liberal movie that hijacks the Bible, but it is a bomb.
