This review will not touch on every single facet of the movie or even on every theme it presents, but I do hope to address what I believe to be the most important of them. Nonetheless, I do want to offer what I hope to be a fair review.
For those of you who read my review of Mark Burnett and Roma Downey’s movie, Son of God, you know that I am a bit skeptical of the Christian movie genre as a whole. Given the popularity of Christian themed films and the considerable buzz about this one in particular, my wife, Kathy, and I went to see War Room on the evening of September 3rd so that I could write a review. War Room, starring popular Bible teachers Priscilla Shirer and Beth Moore, looks like it may well be the most successful of their films to date bringing in $11 million just on its opening weekend more than triple it’s $3 million production budget. Romans 10:17 - 'So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' The Holy Spirit does not produce fruit in the life of a Christian apart from the word of God he does it through the word. Although the Hebrew word is used only 4 times in reference to material abundance two of those verses actually contradict the claims of these teachers. One of the Hebrew words translated riches in found in Psalms 37:16. Here at Kenneth Hagin Ministries, this commission. Finally one other Hebrew word provides insight into this discussion.
Stephen, Alex, and Shannon Kendrick have just released their fifth faith-based film, War Room. The Holy Spirit does not produce faith in the hearts of men apart from the word of God he does this through the word. In Matthew 28:1920, Jesus gave believers a Great Commission: Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you (NKJV). If you do not know the Kendrick brothers by name, you almost certainly know them by their films: Flywheel (2003),Facing the Giants (2006), Fireproof (2008), and Courageous (2011).
