Son of God Movie
Instead of my regular post for last week, I wanted to send out a quick post about the movie Son of God that is hitting all the theaters this next Friday February the 28th 2014.
Consider going to see this movie for multiple reasons:
- This movie about Jesus has been produced with excellence. It is produced by Mark Burnett & his wife Roma Downey who also produced the mini-series smash hit on The Bible that aired on national TV:
Here is a quote from the CNN’s own web site about how successful the The Bible TV Mini-series was: http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/05/showbiz/tv/mark-burnett-the-bible-record-ratings-ew
“The miniseries’ two-hour cable network premiere was seen by 13.1 million viewers and scored a 3.3 rating among adults 18-49. That’s more viewers and a higher demo rating than any show on the major broadcast networks last night and ranks as cable’s most-watched entertainment telecast this year. If you include the show’s repeat, the viewership rises to 14.8 million for the night.”
- Campus Crusade (CRU) and Compassion International among MANY other well respected ministries both domestic and international are getting behind this movie. See this link for endorsements: http://www.sharesonofgod.com/Endorsement
- You might find it easier to invite a non-Christian to this movie than to church. It may be more socially acceptable to invite someone to a movie than to a church. One person commented, “I would rather see a movie about Jesus than read about him any day!”
- If we “vote” with our money for movies (and magazines, music and other media) that have godly values… Hollywood will actually pay attention and spend more money on these values.
