"Do you believe?" is a new movie directed by Jon Gun, which was written by Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon. It features a stellar cast, which includes Mira Sorvino, Sean Astin, Cybill Shepherd, and many other accomplished and actors. Although it's only received 1 to 2.5 stars out of 5 by many movie critics, I believe it's an outstanding movie about what it means to believe in the Cross.

According to the movie's synopsis, "When a pastor is shaken to the core by the visible faith of an old street-corner preacher, he is reminded that true belief always requires action. His response ignites a faith-fueled journey that powerfully impacts everyone it touches." That's exactly what the movie does, ignite you.

One of my favorite lines is by the street-corner preacher who asks the pastor, "What are you going to do about it?" Anyone can talk about being a Christian, but being a Christian takes action. Unfortunately, sometimes those actions may take leap of faith and not always reap the benefits we wanted.

It also means to give unconditional love, grace, and forgiveness to everyone. This includes our enemies, as well as those whom we may consider "different" or who make choices that we may not agree with. As Jesus said in Matthew 5:46, "For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?"

There are one or two scenes that may be considered a bit contrived. However, overall it is a very well done movie, and its message about what a person is to do as a Christian is very clear. Therefore, I highly recommend it.

P.S. The first project looks like a Tim Holtz (or other) grungy prim tag, and would be SUPER PERFECT for the challenge at The Kraft Outlet. You're most welcome to play along.
