End of the Spear

i went to go and see the movie End of the Spear. i am not really big on seeing movies in theaters for a variety of reasons, but i went to see this one. i went this evening with some people from my small group. it is a great movie. i will not rant and rave because i am sure someone out there has seen and things differently than i.

this movie was not highly advertised and unfortunately will probably only have a few more days in theaters before it moves to budget or out all together. it is about the miss to ecuador who were killed, jim elliot being one of them and their wives who went back to the tribe later and reached the people. this movie is highly thought provoking and emotional. it is one of those movies you might need to see again just to process.

some thoughts i walked away with are ...
...do i love christ enough to die for him?
...could i love someone who hurt me badly?
...who do i have a hard time trusting?
...what wrongs do i want to avenge?
...missions, millions of people have not heard the good news yet.
...i know i am ready for heaven but who in my life is not?
...where would i go for christ?
...obedience is hard!
...obedience is worth it, for the glory of God!

i would recommend seeing this movie either in it's last days in the theater or getting it on dvd/video when it comes out. it would be a great teaching lesson for youth, has amazing lessons and passion.
