Let’s Go To The Movies!

Guess which movie opens this weekend?

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see “I Can Only Imagine”!

Do you have plans to go yet?

The movie is named after, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful Christian songs of all time.

Bart Millard, leader of the Dove Award-winning Christian band, MercyMe, wrote the timeless lyrics which have captured the hearts of people everywhere. The first time I heard the song several years ago, I cried. In fact, it can still bring some tears.

I can’t get over how beautiful the words to the song are. I think of my loved ones who have passed, and the blessed hope that they are now in the arms of Jesus.

A reunion in Heaven, some day in the future, is something I look forward to!

Don’t worry, I will post a link to the song further down  🙂

What’s the Movie About?

First and foremost, it’s a true story.

Bart wrote the song, that has now become a movie, as a tribute to his father who came to Christ later in life.

Their relationship was, in the beginning, tumultuous. As a child, Bart suffered from both emotional and physical abuse. I know those particular scenes may be hard to watch on the big screen.

But, to know that his father’s developing faith in Jesus Christ changed everything in their relationship is a shining testament to the power of the Gospel.

I pray that there will be record crowds in attendance. This is a chance to show Hollywood that we want more good quality, faith-based, films.

Having just finished reading Bart’s book of the same name, I can honestly say, without hesitation, “Go see this movie!!”

God bless you all.

Here’s the video link I promised:
