Dan Merchant dressed up in bumper stickers and hit the streets looking for conversation.
The church needs to hear what Dan heard. We need to see the film that resulted: "Lord, Save Us from Your Followers."
If you visit the web site, you'll see this background information:
The Great Divide
If you were to meet ten average Americans on the street, nine of them
would say they believe in God. So why is the Gospel of Love dividing
America?Dan Merchant put on his bumper-sticker-clad jumpsuit and decided to
find out why the Gospel of Love is dividing America. After talking with
scores of men and women on streets all across the nation, and also
interviewing many well-known active participants in today’s “Culture
Wars,” Dan realized that the public discussion of faith doesn’t have to
be contentious.Lord, Save Us From Your Followers is a fast-paced, highly engaging
documentary that explores the collision of faith and culture in
America. After seeing Lord, Save Us From Your Followers, you’ll never
talk about faith the same way again!
It is not about watering down the truth of scripture. it is about not obscuring it. It is not about denying our faith. It is about not distorting it. It is not about shying away from our calling to be prophetic in the world. It is about being prophetic to the church.
We are not fairly representing Jesus when we share His words in ways that are incompatible with His lifestyle and teachings.
Somehow, we have to recapture our essence and bring our message and lifestyles into agreement with what it really means to be Jesus followers in a hostile world.
Hint: It is not being hostile in return.
Even this trailer is an eye-opener.
I am looking forward to this film. For more information, go to: http://lordsaveusthemovie.com/
