Letters to God
Today the film Letters to God opens at Spartan 16 here in Spartanburg. It is a story of how a little boy, his family and friends handle a case of terminal cancer through their commitment to Christ. I had an opportunity to see the film and I highly recommend it. It deals effectively with how a walk with God can impact those who are dealing with cancer and those that surround them. It gives a very clear presentation of the gospel and it serves as an opportunity to start conversations about the importance of a relationship with Christ.
Most people have either experienced cancer or had someone close to them experience cancer. This film is extremely applicable to the times in which we live. I would encourage you to see the movie and to encourage others to see it as well during this opening weekend.
This provides an opportunity for Christians to make a statement with our entertainment dollars. That does not happen very often. Not only will you be able to see a good film that will be a great asset in your witnessing conversations, you will also be able to send a message to the motion picture world about the type of entertainment we would like to see. We cannot complain about what is out there if we are not willing to personally support that which puts Christianity in proper perspective. This film serves as an opportunity on a number of levels. You will find the film to be powerful, challenging, and encouraging. I certainly hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity.
