Do Your Non-Christian Friends Watch the Same Movies That You Do?

Are you a movie fan? 

What types of movies do you like?

Do you have any idea how powerful a Christian film can be? 

Do you have any idea of the level of impact that a Christian film can have around the world?

Every day at Cloud Ten Pictures, we hear testimonies about how our films have been used to bless people, used of God to bring people to Him, used to spread the Gospel of Christ and more.



The medium of film cannot be underestimated in its ability to reach countless individuals on a global scale, regardless of their language or cultural background.

An encounter with a beautiful film is an encounter with a work of art, a means of catharsis, and a moment in which we can enter a story bigger than ourselves - not our own, but somehow familiar.



In a recent post, I talked about the controversy of the Christian suspense / horror / thriller genres of films.

It is my thought that we should not surrender these powerful genres of film to the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Eph 6:12), but we should use them to fulfill our God-given assignment to be ambassadors of Christ (2 Cor 5:20).



There are many people out there who thrive off of a "clean and wholesome" Christian film that holds no controversy and promotes the Gospel.  Statistically speaking, most of these people are Christians. 

There are also many people out there who would never watch such a "clean" movie because it doesn't meet them where they are.  Statistically speaking, most of these people are non-Christians.


So much time is spent telling people about the Second Coming of Christ, and while this is important and a focus of many our films at Cloud Ten, we must always keep in mind that many people haven't heard that He came the FIRST time!

We'd like to hear your thoughts on the role of films that appeal more to non-Christians than they do Christians.

We aren't talking about horror films only, how about any film that would tend to appeal to non-Christians, that has a message of grace, forgiveness, hope and love?


Chime in and let your voice be heard!
