5 reasons to see ‘Courageous’ this weekend

Friday, September 30, 2011, 1:48 pm |

Today, I recorded a SaveCalifornia.com Radio Show with Stephen Kendrick, the producer and co-writer of theĀ  new Christian values movie, “Courageous.” (The film opens tonight, the radio show airs next week).

As you know, SaveCalifornia.com has been promoting “Courageous Dads Month” for the past 30 days. We’re showing people the exciting trailers of “Courageous,” how to locate a theater showing the film, how to obtain the “Resolution for Men” and the “Resolution for Women,” and more.

I’m enthused that more dads are seeing and catching the vision — which is, if you want good kids, you need to become a Godly father.

Here are 5 reasons I encourage you to see “Courageous” tonight or Saturday or Sunday:

1. Fathers will discover or rediscover their God-given purpose.
2. Wives will be encouraged how to support their husbands during crisis.
3. Children will learn virtues that train them to be moral adults.
4. Pastors will be encouraged to instruct and raise up a new generation of Godly fathers.
5. If enough people see “Courageous” this opening weekend, the box office numbers will go up, Hollywood will notice, and more family values moral movies will be made and distributed and supported.

And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath,
but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
Ephesians 6:4 NKJV

Take our Courageous Challenge

If you want to be a better father or learn what a good father looks like, I want to encourage you to see the new film, “Courageous,” opening this weekend.

We must all recognize that America has a fatherhood crisis. The crime, immorality, materialism, selfishness, laziness, idolatry, and hatred of God and man in society can be traced to the lack of Godly fathers in the home (or completely missing from the home).

For if a father leads, loves, provides, and shepherds his family to trust and obey God with a heart of love and actions that follow, his children will be positive lights in our culture, making it better, not worse. As “Courageous” vividly depicts, just being “a good enough father” doesn’t cut it.

Listen to my latest SaveCalifornia.com Minute to be reminded of the consequences of not capturing your daughter’s heart.

Any father who wants to discover his God-given purpose can do exactly that by seeing “Courageous.” That’s why SaveCalifornia.com is getting behind the life-changing, family-rescuing film. Love your your family and see “Courageous” this weekend, and tell others.

What would save children, save families, and turn our society around?

“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,
And the hearts of the children to their fathers,
Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”
