Jesus Camp movie
If you can watch this and not be angry, not be upset, not be outraged, then you are a better person than myself.
(My personal favorite quote is toward the begining of the trailer, when the young boy says he accepted Christ at the age of five because he “wanted more out of life.” Of course he wanted more out of life. He was five.)
Doctrinal differences about the justification by grace through faith, not by works aside… this is scary stuff! The movie comes to Chicagoland theaters tomorrow. I’ll be attending, along with a small group from Carthage. Check back for a full review, but in the meantime, check out what Nick Coleman of the Minneapolis StarTribune had to say.
It’s not clear who the enemies are, but we know who they aren’t: There’s a scene showing the kids praying before a cardboard cut-out of President George W. Bush.
If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.

You are going to have to tell me how the movie is. Sorry I am not going to be able to make it. I just have to go to a wedding… that’s all… its just my little sister.
