There was a story I heard once, four of the biggest stars in British Cinema were at a pub together in the early to mid 1970’s, Richard Burton, Peter O’Toole, Richard Harris, and I believe Anthony Hopkins. All four at the time were notorious drinkers and they closed that pub. I can’t even imagine what the bar bill was.
In any event all of them had a conversion in life and pretty much quit drinking. But in their heydays they were something else.
One of my very favorite actors. I’ll see him in Heaven and that’s a great feeling..........;)
He played Odin the All Father in Thor movies so I am sure he got some insight from the role.
Amazing Grace
Thanks for that.
You are to be commended. God bless you.
God even uses our failings to turn us to Him.
That article is from 8 years ago. I hope this article is up to date and he has truly changed.
Jesus wasn’t mentioned by him anywhere in the article. I pray I’m just being picky, but if you don’t know and love Jesus, and believe that He is God, died for us as the sacrificial lamb that takes away all our sins, and then rose from the dead, you are not Christian, no matter how nice you are.
Amen.
Thank you for sharing.....C
Thanking God he changed before his time came to stand before God. Welcome to your new life sir!
...something that should not be allowed.
I agree.
I was happy to hear this news! He is one of the finer actors of our time. This may have been coming on for a long time, too, because he wasn’t too much of an atheist during the films of The Rite. He believed in demons, and you can’t believe in demons without believing in the One who casts them out. As you said, welcome to the Family!
for many (including a number of FReepers) the name of Jesus easily comes from their lips and yet if you read what they write it easy to see that his name is not in their heart. Many will there be who will call his name at judgement and he will know them not for he has told us this will be so.
In the end the matter is between him and the Lord and I readily admit I can not cast the first stone.
“God as you understand Him”.....AA is based on belief in a higher power, not in the God of the Bible. There are prayers and other things borrowed from the Bible, but AA is not a religious organization.
I went out to Hollywood back in mid-70’s,,for acting, of course.
Ended up back home in the South two years later, gave my life to the Lord. Ever since have had a burden for celebrities. Have prayed years for Streisand, Tyne Daly, Joanne Woodward (when she was alive), Katy Perry, Adele, and others. I know the appeal Hollywood and that life can have on someone (though I never had any success at it). So guess that’s why I tend to have a soft heart towards them and pray for them. I was glad to read your comments. Maybe the Lord is doing a work in that whole Hollywood/Bel Air/Malibu region.
It is purely a theist organization. Jesus ain’t nowhere to be found. That is on you. I know an AA who’s higher power is nature, he rants all the time about AA. A higher power can be anything in AA. I’m not knocking AA or Jesus, but they are apples and oranges.
Proud for you, btw.
