The Blind Side

I almost never recommend a movie to anyone. This is primarily because I only see two or three a year, usually involving Indiana Jones. However, “The Blind Side” is quite different. While I cannot recommend everything in the movie, this true story is both compelling and heartbreaking.

This story likely will motivate you to examine the purpose of your life. Our culture is full of children – newborns through teens – who need a chance. This is a movie that could change the future for millions of them. Could you make a difference in the life of a child? Are you the answer to a soul being saved or a life rescued? Is God calling you to change the culture itself? Perhaps you should see the film, and then consider looking into foster care, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, inner-city mentoring or adoption. See the trailer here.

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
James 1:27
