I just watched this movie last week. It is a fantastic movie. It was put out by the same Mega-Church that put out "Facing the Giants".
It is about Marriage. It made me laugh and cry and at the end smile.
Hollywood isn’t known for its portrayal of what love is supposed to be like – selfless, honest, and faithful. Often, films are wrought with adultery, abuse, and easy divorces. That’s what makes Fireproof, a new drama from the Kendrick brothers, so unique.
Alex and Stephen Kendrick, along with countless volunteers from Sherwood Baptist Church in Georgia, have done it again. Following Facing the Giants’ surprising box office success, the Kendrick team is using film to tackle a prominent cultural issue – marriages on the brink of divorce.
Capt. Caleb Holt (Kirk Cameron) knows how to manage a crisis. Everyday, he directs a team of brave firefighters as they answer calls for help. At the same time, he doesn’t realize the danger his own marriage is facing. In a desperate attempt to win back his wife Catherine (Erin Bethea), Caleb goes to his father for some veteran advice. Seeking a quick way to fix his marriage, Caleb slowly learns how to love.
As far as ministry tools go, this new movie is one of the best at showing what God intends for marriage. Singles and married couples alike will witness the reconciliation of two broken people and how God can heal even the most damaged of relationships.
At first, Caleb is ready to give up on his wife and move on. Their relationship has deteriorated over time and he isn’t too keen on working to save it. That’s when this story really begins to unfold.
You’ve got a husband who doesn’t feel validated at home and a wife who feels unappreciated and unloved. Sound familiar? It’s a simple storyline, but the plot starts to thicken as Caleb tries to recapture his wife’s heart. Through the wisdom of his father and a 40-day experiment called “The Love Dare,” Caleb begins to realize the meaning of love.
True love isn’t what’s best for me; it is seeking what’s best for you. To have a good marriage, you must first understand how to love someone and that comes from the source of unconditional love – God. That’s the point of this story.
One qualm with the story is the lack of response to Catherine’s actions. During the semi-separation phase of their marriage, she enjoys the affection and attention given to her by another man. Her willingness to commit this emotional affair isn’t adequately addressed in the movie. Although some would agree that her actions are wrong, this “adultery with the eyes” should have been dealt with better in the script.
All in all, this is a great movie. But I liked Facing the Giants a little better.
This is one movie critic who highly recommends everyone see Fireproof. Marrieds may learn valuable lessons from it, as all the singles out there will too. Also, kids will enjoy it and understand a little something about love and God’s part in our lives.
All the Actors (including Kirk Cameron) were VOLUNTEERS. This is why the movie only cost $500,000 to make.
Hollywood should take note: This movie only cost $500,000 and made over 6 million bucks on its first weekend last year. This Church (Sherwood Baptist in Albany, Ga.) which produced "Facing the Giants" made 10 million bucks on that movie, and that one only cost 100K to produce. Now, much of the profits go towards the movie theatres and such but the Church does get to keep a portion. So I just want to Thank God that this Church is making Great Family friendly movies, and making a nice profit to further God's work as well. These movies are much better than the Drab, depressing, violent, God-hating movies that Hollywood puts out on a regular basis.
Go buy or rent Fireproof today.

Aborted Live Baby thrown in Bag of Bleach then on Hot Roof
I heard this story last week but have not been able to blog about it until now. I am glad it got "some" press, but not nearly enough.
It is Shocking and Ghastly, so here it is.....
Eighteen and pregnant, Sycloria Williams went to an abortion clinic outside Miami and paid $1,200 for Dr. Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique to terminate her 23-week pregnancy.
She concluded she didn't have the resources or maturity to raise a child, he said, and went to the Miramar Women's Center on July 17, 2006.
Sonograms indicated she was 23 weeks pregnant, according to the Department of Health. She met Renelique at a second clinic two days later.
Renelique gave Williams laminaria, a drug that dilates the cervix, and prescribed three other medications, according to the administrative complaint filed by the Health Department. She was told to go to yet another clinic, A Gyn Diagnostic Center in Hialeah, where the procedure would be performed the next day, on July 20, 2006.
Williams arrived in the morning and was given more medication.
Just before noon she began to feel ill. The clinic contacted Renelique. Two hours later, he still hadn't shown up. (He was probably out playing Golf)
Williams went into labor and delivered the baby.
She came face to face with a human being, and she instantly changed her mind about abortion.
What happened next was nothing but Crude and Ghastly.
Williams witnessed the live birth and suffering of her daughter as she struggled for life in pain, moving and breathing on the recliner. She witnessed Belkis Gonzalez (one of the clinic's owners with NO MEDICAL LICENSE) enter the room and knock the live baby from the recliner seat where she had given birth to the floor. She then witnessed the murder of her daughter by Belkis Gonzalez before her eyes, as Belkis Gonzalez picked up a large pair of orange shears and cut the umbilical cord connecting mother and daughter. Belkis Gonzalez did not clamp the baby’s umbilical cord allowing the baby to bleed out and also threw or by some accounts literally swept the breathing live child into a biohazard bag filled with Chlorine Bleach to suffocate and bleed to death.
“The baby writhed and gasped for air, still connected to Williams by the umbilical cord. Immobilized by shock, Williams watched Gonzalez run into the room, cut the umbilical cord with a pair of orange-handled shears, stuff the baby and afterbirth into a red biohazard bag and throw the bag into a garbage can,” the lawsuit explains.
Someone at the clinic, horrified at what had happened called police. Gonzalez threw the bag with the baby in it on top on the Hot Florida roof, so Police would not be able to find it.
Finally, six days later, Police were called again, by an inside source in the clinic , and the decomposing body was found in a cardboard box in a clinic closet. DNA confirmed it was the body of Williams’ daughter.
The county medical examiner confirmed the baby had been breathing after birth and before death but blamed the death on “extreme prematurity.”
"Extreme prematurity", YEAH RIGHT. This is MURDER PLAIN AND SIMPLE!
The Thomas More Society took an interest in the case when a local law school professor was quoted in the Miami Herald to the effect that if the baby wasn’t “viable,” then it “couldn't be a case of homicide.”
“That opinion is dead wrong,” said Brejcha. “A disabled or dying patient may not be ‘viable’ in the sense of being able to live very long or without help, but if you kill them, it’s murder. This was a case of infanticide, and we’re not going to let it go ignored or unpunished.”
A pathologist retained by the law firm established “the acts and omissions of the abortionist and clinic staff were causative factors in Shanice’s untimely death.” The lawsuit said the clinic staff members refused to call 911 for help nor did they “seek any medical or neonatal assistance of any kind.”
Further, the abortion businesses falsified records, the lawsuit contends, stating that Williams left shortly after noon, even though there were blood pressure and other medical readings in her records after that time.
Technically, the death has been “under investigation” by prosecutors for more than two years, without charges being filed.
This is what really irritates me, how is it that NO criminal charges have been brought after TWO WHOLE YEARS???
This case will trumpet to the world that abortion clinics are places of barbarism where mothers as well as their babies are at serious risk.
This is why I vote ONLY for Pro-Life candidates, to stop this barbarism.
Hopefully, justice will be done in this case and the Doctor will have his License revoked and have to pay Millions in fines. Hopefully, this Belkis Gonzalez will be thrown in jail for outright Murder.
I will leave you all with this quote:
Abortion is a demonic industry. Abortion is blood sacrifice of innocent blood to the devil. The clinics are like temples, the doctors are like priests, the medical table is like their altar. It’s a ritualized sacrifice. They have a dogma called choice, a hierarchy called Planned Parenthood, and guardian angels in the form of police guards that will arrest you if you try to stop them.
