May we agree with the apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 2:11, "not to be ignorant of Satan’s devices" – "lest he should get an advantage of us". With that in mind, may we always be cautious to Satan’s potential injection of poison and venom, especially when the Lord Jesus Christ is the topic. His ultimate role would be to "act" as Jesus. The Bible says in Matthew 24:24 that "false Christs shall arise" and "if possible should deceive the very elect".
His ultimate goal is "to be like the most High" (Isaiah 14:14). There is nothing, no matter how "pleasant to the eyes" (Genesis 3:6) it appears that we should automatically presume is the will of God.Īnd may we not forget our adversary. We as Christians are given the charge of 1 Thessalonians 5:21 to " Prove all things hold fast that which is good." There is nothing that we as God’s children should exclude from examination under the light of the Word of God. Many are crowning The Passion as the greatest presentation of the crucifixion in history – including the Word of God.Īre we witnessing the launching of a great revival across the land as some are proclaiming? Is The Passion the "fire" that could spark a great moving of the Holy Ghost throughout the land? Some churches have rented theaters until March.Ĭhurches and prominent Christian leaders around the world are heralding The Passion as the greatest evangelical event in modern history – maybe ever. Many churches leased complete movie theaters to show The Passion. The Passion generated an unbelievable $10 million in advance sales. After 5 days, it has now grossed over $125 million dollars. The first day The Passion grossed over $25 million dollars. No movie, no movement, no sermon, no revival, no event nothing in modern history has created such a moving among the Christian world. Never in history has any movie so captured the attention and adoration of the Christian community. Mel Gibson’s much anticipated The Passion officially opened in theaters on Ash Wednesday, February 25, 2004. The booklet is under the "Tracts" section in our online order system.
