Lord Save Us From Your Followers
will be released on DVD April 20, 2010.This is a humorous and insightful documentary about how America views
Christians.It answers the
question, "Why is the gospel of love dividing America?"The film does not add to the
fight between "Us" vs. "Them", but has a conversation with those who believe
and oppose the Christian faith.It
is very entertaining and is meant to wake the Church up to see how others view
our tactics.
"No one ever converted to Christianity because they lost the
argument."
-Phillip Yancey, author, Rumors of Another World
Lord Save Us From Your Followers
is a thought provoking documentary that demonstrates how Americans view
Christianity.It does not add fuel
to the fire, but shows both sides and how their tactics are being viewed from
the other side.It is very
surprising that statistics show that 9 out 10 Americans claim to be
Christian.So what's all this "Cultural Wars" fighting about?The writer/director, Dan Merchant,
explains that a lot of the groups, in this so-called fight, cannot think
outside their own beliefs.Most
are not willing to have a conversation with anyone from the other side, so we just
shake our fists and scream our beliefs expecting to be heard.I can not see any evidence that this is
working.People are talking about
Christians from Politicians to athletes and preachers to students, but are they
speaking of them positively?This
film uses interviews on the streets, with people opposing Christianity, with
celebrities, and even an unusual confessional booth to show how each side sees
the other.It makes viewers stop and
really think about how Christianity is being portrayed and is this how Jesus
would approach it?But some
believe today there are so many issues - homosexuality, abortions, various
other religions - how can we get our values across?Through the interviews you will see that we are not doing it
very well!I think Dan Merchant
says it best "I found that most people that have a problem with Christians don't
have a problem with Jesus!"
Lord
Save Us From Your Followers is a must see for both Christians
and non-Christians.It does not
condemn either side, but in fact shows how we can improve our
relationships.Isn't that what
Christianity is all about?It
proves that actions speak louder than words and that whoever screams the
loudest does not win!How did
Jesus' message of compassion, love, mercy, and empathy turn into fighting?This film clarifies that as Christians
we must act like Him!Please visit
