How did ANYONE think this was a good idea…

May 4, 2005 Adam Walker Cleaveland

Thanks to Mark, I ran across this video that I remember watching in my junior high youth group. In fact, it was kind of like the "initiation" video that you watched when you became a member of the junior high group. "Without Reservation" – watch the 30sec trailer here. I remember wearing a Without Reservation t-shirt in junior high. It said, "I’ve got MY reservation – do you have yours?" and then included a scripture passage, which I’m sure everyone who saw me wearing it, immediately raced home to look it up…

Wow. The question I have to ask myself after watching something so ridiculous as this, is "How in the hell did anyone, at ANY time, ever think that would be a good idea for sharing with people about Jesus?" I just do not understand that. At all. I can’t wait to read McLaren’s book on hell and hear his perspective on the issue.

I am simply baffled with the film [and here is another, Future Tense]…and even more baffled that for some reason I thought it was a pretty great thing back in 1990…

[…and if you want even more, watch the trailer for a film about a "worldly high school guy" who starts "pretending" and dates an unsuspecting Christian girl in The Pretender or watch about a guy who gets his wish to never have been a believer "one of the most encouraging films any Christian could watch" apparently – check out Second Glance or lastly, you could watch Pamela’s Prayer, and see the most uplifting film on purity and dating ever put out…wow, these are some real classics…]
