Great Family Film
As part of Spectacular September Sunday nights at church we watched the movie The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry at church tonight. I thought the movie was wonderful-I laughed, just about cried and thoroughly enjoyed this wholesome movie. Set in the late 1960s this movie emphasizes the importance of discipleship. What I liked most about the movie was watching this elderly gentleman live out his faith. As James tells us to be doers of the word and not just hearers-truly the character Jonathan Sperry lived out his faith in action not just in what he said. Although he was an elderly man he invested in the lives of a number of young boys. He invited them into his home, taught them the Bible, helped them to think about life, fed them (almost a necessity for a teenage boy) and in general lived a life that other believers should seek to emulate. I hope that when I am nearing the end of my life that I never stop investing in the lives of other young girls and living out the Biblical mandate given in Titus 2. The only downside of the movie I would say is that it is almost 2 hours long which might be a little long for some young viewers but it did not seem long at all. If you are looking for a great clean movie for your family then check this one out!
