This unlikely video can teach us Christians something about getting out of our comfort zones

“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s will. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. So every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 10:28-33).
Well, it was a cute vid and all …
But I don’t really agree with the basic premise of the video (or many of the comments that followed).
Jesus tells us to “be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” (Matt. 10:16) But that was for the spreading of the Good News, not to see a movie.
Given the situation then, I’m not sure how “wise” it was for the couples who decided to sit down.
Sometimes God allows us fear so as to remove you from danger. Other times, it is His desire for us to remain in a precarious situation and He gives us courage.
It takes Holy discernment …
Yes, these men are God’s children, also!
Thanks for a great video, Pat.
YES!!! That was so cool…how we need to be like that in our everyday lives!
Man, that made my day! AWESOME! Totally awesome!
