Let's hope that the sideshow doesn't become the circus here.Patrick Berrymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933379687337322884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13873773.post-1137909531558812892006-01-22T00:58:00.000-05:002006-01-22T00:58:00.000-05:00Sally:Thanks for your review and comments.

But, until those around me tell me that the Spear is a "Must See", I still choose to ignore it and cling to my former sources of admiration of Nate Saint. I know 2 pilots in missionary service and 2 in-field administrators. I have a taste of what they do in their daily activities. I have read the books, so I do not think I need a movie presentation to enhance and dramatize what I already know. My largest complaint is ETE's choice for the Lead actor. My distaste for ETE's compromise to have a HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVEST portray Nate Saint's Role ruins the whole movie concept.<BR/><BR/>No, I did not read the WORLDNETDAILY article about the Spear. I don't have the interest. You seem quite enthusiastic about the presentation, and I thank you for your reply. But I will not take the time to view something until I have a very good reason to patronize the showing. I have no such reason yet, so I WILL ignore it and drop ETE a note about their casting later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13873773.post-1137896256973207252006-01-21T21:17:00.000-05:002006-01-21T21:17:00.000-05:00Sally,I am less concerned about the clear presenta...Sally,<BR/><BR/>I am less concerned about the clear presentation of the gospel than I am about the casting. I don't depend on the movies to preach. But let's face it, the story is about the gospel, and how do you make a movie about the gospel withotu a clear presentation of it? I have not yet seen it, but I have yet to hear from anyone (except you) who says the presentation is clear. It may be there, but even the producers have admitted that it wasn't the goal to present it. <BR/><BR/>Second, we could "get over it," but there is something bigger at stake. God demands that his ministers be pure. In a real sense, Chad Allen was cast in the role of a minister. He was not a good fit for the part. There are no doubt hundreds of people who, while being sinners, could have played the role just as well, and not used it as a chance to try to make homosexuality acceptable. Yet that is what Allen is doing. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by and reading. I appreciate your comments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13873773.post-1137842512894813152006-01-21T06:21:00.000-05:002006-01-21T06:21:00.000-05:00Not being much of a movie goer, it is easy for me ...Not being much of a movie goer, it is easy for me to ignore THIS ONE. I have only seen a couple of movies for the last year or so. My style is the movie about Penguins and Martin Luther - both at the endorsement of someone I trust.<BR/><BR/>Having been an admirer of Nate Saint's work and experiences since the book "Jungle Pilot" came out while I was at Moody, I feel a hollywood approach to portrayal of him would be hammed up or dramatized (not real life). I do not need any "entertainment" media to embelish my appreciation of the day-to-day involvements and commitment he exhibited.<BR/><BR/>Maybe, after the dust settles (?), I will drop ETE a note about my making it a point not to see this presentation of Spear because of their compromise in using this "activist" to represent a man whom I deeply respect. Surely there is SOMEONE "of the faith" who has talent enough to play the lead part.

I've been reticent to inject my personal thoughts on this for several reasons, the least of which is that Steve Saint is scheduled to be at my church next month -- something that has been scheduled for months and because of his amazing testimony given at the Shepherd's Conference at Grace Community Church. Your perspective on this fully captures my thoughts on the topic and I appreciate them.<BR/><BR/>DanDan Burrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09680207882528653121noreply@blogger.com
