Evan Almighty
Tonight I am going to an advanced screening of the upcoming movie "Evan Almighty" It's kind of a sequel to Bruce Almighty that came out a few years with Jim Carey. Apparently in this movie, the newscaster who was in the first movie is directed by God to build a modern day Ark.
Some of you may ask "Why did you get to go to an advanced screening?" Well, some Christian marketing company is creating a tie-in with the movie, encouraging churches to use the positive themes of the movie as a way to spur community outreach and acts of kindness. I received an email from this company and responded. So.....should be interesting!
I makes me ask the question....what would I do if God called me to do something so daring and unusual as "build an ark"??
Wait a minute.....He DID call me to start a church.....that's a little crazy isn't it??
Well anyway - the point is that for followers of Christ, don't be surprised when God calls us to do some daring things. I beginning to think that for any Christ-follower, this should be the norm and not the exception. It's not IF God calls, but WHEN. Some I know I have gone overseas to help spread the message of Christ. Others have adopted children in need, given alot of money to missions, started business and corporations to become an influencer for God.
Pretty radical stuff.
So, maybe building an ARK isn't so unusual after all. They just come in different shapes and sizes.
