Before you think, "Ah, it's just another cheesy Christian movie", let me share that I showed this movie to my cell group of 19-29 year old hot-blooded young men and many of them were in tears by the end of it. They may not admit it, but I certainly saw many red eyes! This is a powerful show which I believe will touch the hearts not just of married couples but also teach our youth how to treat their future partners with love and respect the way God has intended us to. Click on for a short review of the show.

Dr Ted Baehr of Movieguide wrote this review: FIREPROOF is an incredibly gripping, compelling, heartrending, transformational story about saving a marriage that is on the rocks. Kirk Cameron stars as Caleb Holt, a fire chief in a small town who gets respect from everyone except his wife. Katherine, played by Erin Bethea is the public relations officer of the local hospital. Caleb and Katherine fight about everything. Their marriage seems to have no hope, but Caleb’s father asks him to take 40 days to work through a personal journal to change the way he treats Katherine. Caleb agrees, but Katherine is already interested in a doctor at the hospital. Only faith in Jesus Christ and repentance can save their relationship.
The ending to FIREPROOF is powerful, emotional and in many ways unexpected. The Kendrick brothers, who also made FACING THE GIANTS with help from their church in Albany, Georgia, display an incredible amount of talent. Their story is perfectly plotted. Kirk Cameron does an excellent job turning Caleb into a real person. Despite its low budget, FIREPROOF is a stirring presentation of the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the power of God’s amazing grace.

Eunice's Wedding 18 April 09
Weddings are always special as they symbolise the love and commitment that two people are prepared to give to each other till the end of their days. Of course, it becomes even more special when the groom is one's brother, and the bride, a close sister-in-Christ. For both Eunice and Sebastian, I believe weddings are also about the community of friends and relatives. Most of you would have heard Eunice inviting you to her wedding tomorrow. If you didn't, know that you are! (from Eunice) Join me in sharing in their joy and celebration tomorrow. :)
Cheers,
Joshua

2 NEW Additions on the Tribe Blog
Great things are happening! If you have been a faithful follower of our tribe blog, you would have seen how we grew from just a simple blog created to encourage each other by our learnings and reflections into a treasure chest of resource for the modern day Christian committed to knowing God for himself/ herself. Of course, not forgetting too that this still remains as an online portal for us in the tribe to connect with each other (especially those overseas) and to sharpen each other through our reflections of what God has done in our lives.
It is with great joy that I announce two new additions for the blog. Firstly, as you would have noticed with the post on "The Shack", is the start of a collection of book reviews that I hope would encourage you to read on your own. Christian literature is never a subsitute for the Bible itself, but God has also gifted many of these authors with unique insights into His word and for some others, gave them moving experiences of great faith that inspire. Authors like J.I. Packer, Edmund Chan, R.T. Kendall, John Bevere and Martin Loyd Jones have dramatically changed the way I see and know God through their books and I know you will be blessed too. Along the way, we will try to group these books by theme and level of "cheemness" so that anyone from a new believer to a mature Chrisitan will have a selection of recommended books to choose from.
The second addition, is a new series of blog postings on the heroes of the Bible. The likes of Joseph, Moses, Daniel and Abraham have lived lives that are anything short of extraordinary. What can we learn from them and how can we live life differently in Christ so that we can fulfill the destiny God has intended for us? Through each character study, we hope to inspire you towards your own journey of faith, passion and compassion in Christ.
So there you have it! 2 great things to look forward to on the tribe blog! May you be blessed and encouraged!
