“Third Day” Reflection
In your reflection I would like you to talk about what makes an event in general plausible and ultimately a historical fact. Reflect upon how evidence surrounding a story/event is gathered and passed on through time. How this has changed through the centuries and perhaps how people’s belief system has changed through time. Does this make historical events less believable because technology, for example, has changed so much from let’s say 2000 years ago? Talk about the biblical and at least a couple of non-biblical sources surrounding the resurrection of Christ. I would also like you to reflect upon and talk about how the lives of witnesses changed immediately after and beyond. Think about ideas like “What would people have to gain or lose from proclaiming that they witnessed Christ after his death?” Why is the resurrection so important for Christians? Your personal thoughts on Jesus’s life and the resurrection. Make sure to back up what you say.
Min. 250 words.

2. What gratitude or hurt did you experience? Explain.
3. How have you given or wanted to give these 3 gifts to others?
4. What time/effort are you going to commit in order to achieve these changes? Perhaps, you can use them as part of a Lenten experience? You are going to re-visit these goals in a few weeks and re-evaluate.

Dec. 7/20
Mark:
You prayed and believed your whole life. Never done anything wrong. And here you are. You're the nicest person I know. I am the meanest. You have dementia. My life is perfect. Explain that to me!
Mina's Mother:
Sometimes the devil allows people to live a life free of trouble because he doesn't want them turning to God. Their sin is like a jail cell, except it is all nice and comfy and there doesn't seem to be any reason to leave. The door's wide open. Till one day, time runs out, and the cell door slams shut, and suddenly it's too late.
Write a minimum of a half page reflection on the above quotes. What does this mean to you? Also, what can you say about those who sin (all of us sin) and their life is full of trouble? Do you think God is punishing them/you? What about those of us who are close to God and do not sin as much but still encounter difficulties in our lives?

February 19th 2020 Fire Proof Questions
“Fireproof Questions”
1. Caleb and Catherine obviously had a lot of problems to work through in their marriage. Do you think their problems were “unique” to them or do you think they are pretty universally experienced —even with Christians? Explain.
2. Who was more at “fault” for the near failure of their marriage —Caleb or Catherine? Explain
3. Co-writer/director Alex Kendrick says the old adage “Never leave your partner behind” has “significance to non-firefighters” as well. In a television interview aired September 25, 2008 on the Dr. Phil Show Drphil.com he said,
“You know, it’s now national policy for firefighters: two in, two out. If you go to a fire, you stay with your partner, you go in and you come out, and that applies to marriage as well. You’re going to go through fire. The meaning of Fireproof is not that fire will never come, but when it comes, you can withstand it. And the only way to do that is to purposefully stay together, to have a higher standard than living just for yourself, but in meeting the other person’s needs.”
Think of one thing that impressed you or that you learned from this movie that could help you to meet your best friend’s needs and improve your future marriage relationship, regardless if you think you are ever going to marry someone or not. Share what it is and how you think you could implement it.
4. What was it about the “Love Dare” that impressed you?
5. On the Dr. Phil program mentioned above, Dr. Phil asked Executive Producer Michael Catt, “Is forgiveness and unconditional love a real message in this movie?” To that Michael replied,
“Oh, absolutely. I think people give up. One of the messages is that she’s getting bad counsel. All of her friends are saying, ‘Get a divorce.’ He’s getting good counsel to love and to forgive. I think who we listen to affects how we look at our marriage. We’re influenced by the voices around us, and we need to pay attention to the people who are telling us what we need to hear, not what we want to hear.”
Do I need to make changes in whom or what I listen to?
