 ~Nothing is Impossible
Grant Taylor: With God, nothing is impossible. ~quote from Facing the Giants (PG)  
Far, far too long has it been since I've have taken the time to hit the keyboard in honor of a movie "review". Well, that time has hopefully ended. The pull within me has been far too strong to ignore any longer and the excuse of the lack of time is rather pathetic. I'll just make time ;) At least today I have a day off from the office, right?
Facing the Giants, I guess you could say that writing about this movie with what the purpose of this blog has been is rather like cheating; however, I probably need the "easiness" of this kind of movie to get back into the flow. As for the film itself, when I first saw it was pleasantly surprised. Normally, Christian films a viewed as very low budget and no where near a quality film... often they have a very distinct B level feel to them. I have to say that Facing the Giants is a large step away from this stigma. Certainly the budget was not huge for this film; however, the humanity-based story portrayed has the power to touch the heart of anyone. The "can do" message laced throughout the movie is good for any viewer's soul. Don't miss it. Now, on to the chosen quote...
With God, nothing is impossible; this is one of the themes you'll find throughout this picture. The experiences Coach Grant Taylor faces are enough to bring any man to his whit's end; yet, with the support of his wife, he clings to God and holds on tight to His truth. Speaking of God's truth, Luke 1:37 echoes the truth of nothing being impossible with God.(a) God's word also reminds us that we can do all things through His Son,(b) when He is for us... who can be against us?(c)
These benefits come through relationship,(d) a relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ.(e) There is no other option, through Christ is the only way.(f) Come alive,(g) come to Him.(h)
a: Luke 1:37
b: Philippians 4:13
c: Romans 8:31-32
d: Luke 11:1-11
e: Romans 10:9-10
f: Acts 4:8-12
g: Ephesians 2:1-10
h: Matthew 11:28
