Nothing is impossible with Him

A while ago, a good sister recommended me to watch this movie. When I was looking for information about this movie, there was an advertisement saying that it was "the latest inspirational movie in 2006 in the United States." After watching it carefully, I did feel that it had an "inspirational" effect-but thinking about it again, I think it It does not necessarily have this effect on a wide range of people. Perhaps, this range will be reduced to the Christian group. In fact, the name of the movie itself seems to be taken from the Old Testament in the Bible when David played against the giant Goliath. allusion.
Taylor is a high school American football (also known as football) coach, but in the six years of coaching career, he led the Charlotte Hawks has never won the season. Is there anything worse than this? Then, Shiloh, the best player on the team, transferred to another school and lost three games in a row at the beginning of the new season... Besides, Taylor found out that those dads were deciding to fire him, and his old car could not catch fire. He and his wife I have been married for four years but have never had children. The stove at home is broken and I can’t eat pasta. I don’t know why there is still a stench in the house... The title "Facing the Giants" has two meanings: they met in the state finals. It was the Li Qilan Giants; Taylor under pressure sighed at the beginning: "I feel that failure and fear are like giants, looking down on me and waiting to crush me, Lord, I don't know how to defeat them..." Yes, You can also see: Taylor is calling "Lord", then everything in the movie is no longer suspenseful. It almost became a missionary gospel movie. The story is very simple, just talking about how Taylor takes the children. Relying on faith in God to succeed-in the end, Taylor led the children to win the state championship, helped the students communicate with their parents, replaced the car that was always problematic, and even he who had been judged by the doctor to be almost barren , Both became fathers...
This kind of movie itself will definitely make two groups of people have two completely different attitudes: one kind of person thinks it is good, and tells the wonder and greatness of the Almighty in the movie, because they believe that all this is in There is nothing impossible in his hands (I believe so); and other people will feel dismissive-movies are full of miracles, but fortunately it is a movie, because everyone will doubt whether all that is possible in reality. For one thing, they may still want to shout, "What we believe in is facts, not stories and legends full of miracles!"
However, since we talked about facts, we found facts other than this story on the data: such a touching movie was actually made by the world’s least knowledgeable independent producer in this field. Hollywood filmmakers are very curious. Because there is no huge investment, lack of budget and equipment, not to mention the production team, even the actors have no professional knowledge and experience. Everything is done by the believers to participate in the recording of the performance. As for the heroes and heroines with wonderful performances, in fact, Just pastor and housewife! However, each of them put their heart and soul into it, and, the point is, these laymen really did it! ——This is a miracle in real life! This is a fact!
I believe that Taylor told a short story in the movie that touched many people: Two farmers prayed to God for rain together. After they prayed, one did not move, but the other got up and went outside to prepare for the rain. It's just that if you don't even want to believe in such a miracle, how can you have the confidence to get up and prepare for the rain? Then, oneself can never walk into faith through being moved.
Come to the hymn that Sheng Xiaomei sang: Nothing is impossible with Him!

    A typical Hollywood sports inspirational film can be established if the religious part is replaced. In fact, this simple film is more likely to win the favor of ordinary audiences than Stone's "Challenge Sunday" with the same theme.

    People should try their best to be right. But the reason I don't like this film is that it regards the championship as a goal of faith. But Jesus once said that I am not the king of this world, and Christians are often more frustrated rather than more successful than others. Don’t forget that the pious Lhasa road is a beggar loser to death. This is why I don't like Jeremy Lin's testimony and all similar testimonies.

Facing the Giants quotes

  • Grant Taylor: Scripture says to honor your parents, and all you do is complain.

    Matt Prater: All he does is boss me around. He doesn't even try to understand me.

    Grant Taylor: Matt, you can't judge your father by his actions and then judge yourself by your intentions. It doesn't work that way. You're not responsible for him. You're responsible for you. You honor God by honoring your authority.

  • J.T. Hawkins Jr.: You act like you gonna miss before you even kick the ball. See, we're gonna have to change your whole kicking philosophy. Now see, you kick it wide left, or wide right, but that ain't gonna get you home. The ball has got to go through the middle.

    David Childers: I know, coach.

    J.T. Hawkins Jr.: No, no, no. You don't. Now what does scripture say about this? Scripture says wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction. And many that be there find it. Now to us; that's wide left, and wide right. But narrow is the gate and straight is the way that leads to life, and few that be there find it. Anybody can kick it wide left and wide right. My momma can kick it wide left and wide right. But that ain't gonna get you home. It don't have to look great. It don't have to look smooth. It can look like a dying duck. But the ball has got to go through the middle. Now David, you gonna have to choose the narrow way. Cause that's the only path where you gonna get your reward.
