Coming up – we’ll try again – this Friday either matinee or evening at ADA, Fremont

By: American Decency Staff

The calls came in hot and heavy last Friday noon and afternoon as people questioned whether we were snowed out last week.  As you know by now, we were.

We’re back at it!  Kirk Cameron’s “Unstoppable” this Friday, January 31 for both the matinee and the evening – 1:00 P.M. and 7:00 P.M.  in Fremont at American Decency Association Headquarters. 

On the basis of the calls and inquiries we are expecting a good turn out   If for any reason we have to cancel (and the weather forecast indicates we should be okay), check out American Family Radio at 91.7 FM (especially at 20 minutes after the hour between 8 AM and 5:20 PM.

Also, check out American Decency Association’s Facebook page, webpage

https://americandecency.org  or call us at 231-924-4050 or check WZZM’s closings web page. 

Hope to see you this Friday (January 31) at either 1:00 P.M. or 7:00 P.M. at American Decency Association headquarters – 203 E. Main Street – across from the old Fremont High School.

Hope to see you soon!

=====================================

One of the hardest questions often asked by both Christians and non-believers is 'if God is good, why does He allow bad things to happen?'

There are no easy or immediate answers to that question, because the answer requires a theological framework that unbelievers don't have and that Christians need to constantly be reminded of.

That framework is the big picture shown by the Bible from Creation to the Crucifixion to the future coming of the New Heavens and New Earth.

In short, people are responsible for their own sin which causes suffering and God is the Hero who comes to save us from ourselves.

The story is an epic which show the mercy, grace, and goodness of our God, not an expose of a deity who is powerless to save or enjoys the pain of his creation.

Our character in the story is not the victim and we are certainly not the hero, but rather we are the villain who offended the glory and goodness of our Creator. He is the Hero for not only forgiving us, but for executing a plan to restore us completely  to our position as His people.

That's a big topic to tackle in film, but Fireproof star Kirk Cameron was up to the task. In his latest movie due out on DVD on January 28, Cameron steps up to the plate to dig into the answer of one of life's hardest questions.

 Here's what he had to say about his project, "It's easy to get excited about your faith when things are going well in your life. But when your whole world comes crashing down on you, the questions start: 'Where is God when I need him most? Why do bad things happen to good people?' UNSTOPPABLE is a journey, based on a true story, that has become the most personal and transparent project I have ever made regarding my faith.”

I saw this movie when it was in theaters and was blown away by how it went so far past the usual "Sunday School answers" into the juicy meat of the Bible, bringing me to think about some well-known Bible stories very differently.

ADA was blessed with the opportunity to show this film to you before it comes out on DVD later this month and we hope you will take advantage of that chance! We would love to have you join us in our little theater here at the American Decency offices. Admission, of course, will be free and we'll have a chance to fellowship together after the movie. We will be showing Unstoppable on January 31st at 1:00 and 7:00PM.

We hope to see you there!
