Watched the movie "Courageous" this weekend for the first time. The acting may not have been Hollywood level, but the message to fathers who claim Christ as their Savior could not have been any more clearly or directly presented.
Are we willing to be the fathers God calls and commands us to be? Do we have what it takes to toe the line for Christ as a father when all the trials, tribulations, and temptations come? Do we really love our children more than ourselves and does our life reflect that?
Or are we going to be lazy or focused on our jobs and hobbies and let the world raise our children?
Doesn't get much clearer than that!
As a teacher of 25 years in the classroom, I wish this movie was required viewing for EVERY man who is a father and calls himself a follower of Jesus Christ!!
