Have you wondered why our young people are leaving the church by the droves? This movie addresses the issues that may be a pivotal reason why. In the book of II Tim. Chapter 3, we are given a vision of how life would be like toward the end of time. Let us make sure that this doesn't happen to our children!
Divided, The Movie
Malachi 4:5-6 says, “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”
We desire to see families mended such that the hearts of fathers are turned to their children and the hearts of children are turned to their fathers. The only way that this will happen is through a turning of the hearts of men toward the Word of God. Jesus prayed that His followers would be sanctified through God’s truth, which is the Word of God (John 17:17). We are not sanctified through anything else, and this calls us to return to the Reformation doctrine of sola Scriptura (Scripture alone). The reformer John Calvin once wrote, “If true religion is to beam upon us, our principle must be, that it is necessary to begin with heavenly teaching, and that it is impossible for any man to obtain even the minutest portion of right and sound doctrine without being a disciple of Scripture” (Inst. 1.6.2).
Churches Reformed
Scripture has much to say about ministry to youth. Therefore, church leaders must be very attentive to it and conform to it. Every elder, deacon, and church member seeking to understand how we are to reach our children with the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ must begin at the fountain of truth and glean from the Word of God alone.
We long to see churches reformed. This will cause a generation to be rescued from this world and grasped from the jaws of the lion (1 Pet. 5:8). Therefore, we cry out for churches to do their part, for fathers to disciple their children, for churches not to usurp the authority of the family, for families to be a part of the church in a biblical fashion and not forsake her, for children to honor their parents — ultimately, for both church and family to return to the Word of God in obedience and not add or subtract from it in all that it says.
This vision involves reformation of the church and family, and it cannot be accomplished without the mighty working of God. Pray for a reformation, and put in the effort to see it through. James 2:17 says, “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”
