Linda said...: I don't think I have ever been so touched by a movie before. We got to pre-screen Courageous...and I shared about it on Facebook and on my blog...and I told everyone I knew that they should go see it and take their friends. I loved it.

I am so glad thy are making movies like this. I will buy the DVD when it comes out and loan it to people who never got to see it. I think the Lord will use it for His glory! And to help families. Especially good for fathers.

Please to make your acquaintance Linda.

I too loved the movie "Courageous". At the end of the movie it was all I could do to restrain myself from standing up with the men were taking the pledge.

We've signed up to get Courageous on the day it's released in January.

With the movie Facing the Giants we purchased several copies so that we could lend it out to people. That may be a good idea with the Courageous video too.

Thanks for stopping by and for your kind words. I felt the same way when I discovered your blog Truthful Tidbits last night.

Blessings in Christ! Susan; 8:35 PM

My Colors Will Be Clear

I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sight seeing, smooth knees, color-less dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, "chinchy" giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need position, promotions, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my destination is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few. My Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity.

I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of the One that gave me life, drew the line in blood for me in the hour of my destiny.

I am one of Christ's remnant people. I belong to Him and none other. All I do to bring this life to another is done because of that blood covenant poured out for me.

I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. I must share will all that one more might hear and be drawn from the flaming darkness that longs to consume. Reach for another, touch but one more!

Until that moment...He will have no problem in recognizing me- my colors will be clear!!!

Not only are the words inspiring but so is the man behind them. The above letter was written by a Pastor in Africa who was undergoing severe persecution. On the eve of his execution he sat down and wrote the above note.
