I saw this over 20 years ago in Christian School
james67610 August 2008
I spent over ten years of my life in Christian school. I hated every second of it. I wasn't annoyed at the hours of Bible class. I enjoyed it. Although, I didn't agree with the teaching method. For starters, each week we had a Bible verse quiz to write a verse word for word, punctuation perfect. Sure we memorized it, but we didn't truly KNOW it and what it means. The only thing I enjoyed was the occasional film we had to watch in chapel. Now, the movies about the 7 years Tribulation scared me and wrecked my childhood. THE WAIT OF THE WORLD, I found amusing and actually good. I was 10 years old at the time and enjoyed the story of young missionaries going to different parts of the world (including Philadelphia) and making a difference in others, while learning a lot about themselves. Fast forward 22 years later... I saw it on one of the Christian networks airing Christian films. It wasn't bad, but not great. My problem with these Christian films is that the directors want to get their message out very CLEARLY, when they could still get a strong message with realistic dialogue and better production values. I know Christian colleges like Bob Jones have film programs. I'm curious if the productions are getting any better. It would be nice.
