Colomber Holt is a firefighter who fearlessly enters and exits fires, and always takes the firefighter's motto to heart—never leave his comrades behind. At the scene of the fire again and again, the life-threatening Colbert saved the lives of strangers one after another, and he was awarded the title of "hero" for his bravery. In career, Colleber is definitely a famous man, but at home, Colleber, who goes his own way, pays little attention to the feelings of his wife Catherine, and their seven-year marriage is in jeopardy.
It was Katherine's childhood dream to be a firefighter's wife, her father was a brave firefighter. After Catherine met Colbert, the two also had a sweet and warm good time, and they also looked forward to spending the rest of their lives happily together when they entered the marriage hall. However, as the chores and pressures of life continued to increase, the two often quarreled about work, finances, housework and other issues, and the distance between them became more and more distant. Catherine even wished that she had never been married.
Unable to communicate and understand, Colomb and Catherine made the decision to divorce. Knowing the news, Colleber's father found his son and asked him to postpone the divorce date for forty days and to undergo an experiment called "challenging love". In these 40 days, Colbert will try to understand his wife's thoughts and try to save the marriage. Although Colber was reluctant, he agreed to this challenge for his father.
Colomb, who kept his promise, tried to restore Catherine's heart according to her own ideas, but no matter how hard Colber tried, Catherine was still unmoved. Discouraged, Colbert didn't know how to persevere, but his father told him that it was God's test, and that God's will was implicated in it. With the help of God, Colbert began to understand what the love his wife wanted, but could this realization come too late? Coleber, a firefighter who has saved the lives of countless strangers, is facing an unprecedented challenge this time. He must save his dead wife and their burnt marriage...

Walk into the scene:
The film Fireproof "Firemen", also co-written by Sherwood Baptist pastor Alex Kendrick and his sibling Stephen, was a lot more budgeted than the last two films, but it was still controlled at $500,000. The North American box office grossed over $6 million in its opening weekend. The film takes marriage as the main appeal. The story revolves around how a firefighter can save the marriage that is on the verge of breaking, and uses "loyalty" and "love" to teach people to examine their marriage or intimacy from faith!! The film focuses on marriage As the main appeal, the story revolves around how a firefighter can save a marriage that is on the verge of breaking, and teach people to examine their marriage or intimacy from faith with "loyalty" and "love"!!
The film was published in the New York Times , was praised by film critics for "promoting strong and traditional Christian beliefs on the screen, but not crazy." In the production process of this film, in addition to the eagerness of the church members, many pastors, church leaders and some Marriage experts came to pay attention to the issues in the film. Many families on the verge of being broken were saved because of this, and many people's faith was saved because of this! Some brothers even called out to 10 volunteers to pray for their families when the movie was over. But 20 people came to him and prayed for him! Strange things like this happened constantly during the production of the film, which is completely beyond the reach of human beings, because the Spirit of God is at work in it!
The protagonist of the film Kirk Cameron is nine years old He was a child star at the time, but he was not polluted by the entertainment circle of drunken money fans. Now he is a devout Christian. Like all other actors, Kirk is also a voluntary performer. During the six-week shooting period, in addition to food and accommodation, The crew didn't give him a penny. Kirk said it was the most difficult role of his acting career. When he needed to play a dangerous action scene, the director asked twenty volunteer extras to pray for him. 20 people prayed for the cast of the show, an experience that would never happen in Hollywood, and Kirk said he was very moved.
There is a couple kissing scene in the film, but Kirk's wife plays the role instead of the heroine. The reason is that Sherwood has such an unwritten but very strict rule that only two actors who are also husband and wife in reality can appear on the screen. Kissing, which is one of Kirk's life tenets." I once promised my wife that my lips would be reserved for her alone, and Kirk said that maybe this will cost me a lot of film or TV. Filming opportunities, that's okay, I don't want to do anything that would damage my marriage. This is exactly the spirit of this film!!
A few details:
1. If it wasn't for the Holy Spirit's own work, where would the hero's love and strength come from, crying and kneeling in front of his wife and apologizing, recounting his own mistakes and transgressions Kneeling in front of a woman who completely ignores her 40-day journey of love and claims that I don't love you anymore? I even told such a person that I don't want to live without you in my next life! And he persisted like this for forty-three days! ! ! Among them, we also noticed that he even knelt on the ground as a manly man crying and praying! This is unbelievable for the brethren, it seems that only the sentimental sisters do it! This is the wonderful work of God! He changed from a person who never read the Bible to such a child of God~
(Please check Ezekiel 36:26-27)
Second, is saving his marriage really just a simple 40-day love journey? ? I believe this kind of thing is not new at all! ? Otherwise, it would have long since become a Hollywood box-office blockbuster~ If it wasn’t for God, if this journey wasn’t God’s tool or God’s will, without God’s guidance in this process, would it be possible for him to completely turn people’s hearts around? The philosopher need not suffer so much. . . (Note: The difference in this love journey is that he does not remind you of the goodness of your wife and the sweetness of your first love, but simply to give unconditionally and without grudges for your wife)
(Please refer to Psalm 46 Ezekiel Chapters 27 and 29 : 1-16)
Three, there is a detail in the middle that when Ray apologized for his father's four-hour drive, his father said two words "I want to come over myself, and I'd love to come over" "So I can have more time to think and pray”, many people think that Christians have no wisdom and blindly seek spiritual sustenance. I believe that this wise father at least reminded us that “to know the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” In prayer, he asked the Lord to give him the strength to ask the Holy Spirit to change and help his son's life and marriage. He was also thinking and taking the initiative to continue to work for the Lord. He prayed persistently and insisted on cooperating with the Lord and all this was willing! You must know that our dad is a person who examines people's hearts. If you don't do things from the heart, he doesn't remember them. Instead, he hates hypocrisy and lies Hope and faith strength joyfully co-workers with the Lord to run for the Lord?
(Please refer to 1 Corinthians 9:12-23)
Fourth, when Ray's wife finally knew about the journey of love, she still told Ray that I was planning to see a lawyer next week and needed some time to think about it. Ray was very calm at that time. Say it as long as you want~ This reminds me of our Abba Heavenly Father, who gave us the right to freedom, silently pays for us and accompanies us (just like Ray's 40-day love journey) and also for us Death and resurrection, but we always ignore his existence and don't take his credit. Always insist on doing things that we do. We delay the time to get close to God and understand God. Dad will tell you how long you want~ You can do whatever you want. It's your freedom to do what you choose~ but I think we can all see that Ray is a real man and deserves his wife to stay and that Keller I won't judge it's obviously not worth it, but let's say His wife realized it was too late to regret after choosing Keller. . .
(See Romans 1:18-32 Philippians 4:4-7)
5. In the end, when Lei's father confessed to him about what his mother did, he didn't like what his mother did. Lei ran to his mother with tears and remorse on his face. I don't think he felt guilty. "I'm sorry I don't know" will be clear! ? And as his mother, he just said, "It's alright, it's over." It's like our Abba Heavenly Father. When we confess our sins and repent, he will hug us and say, "My dear child, welcome you back. Everything is fine. It doesn't matter if it's over." And what I want to say is that we must have a heart that loves others as ourselves, because we really don't know what's really going on in the hearts and souls of others, in other people's lives, and don't blame others easily. To have a love and a heart that forgives others just like my father forgives us! I don't think we all want to feel guilty when we realize it! ?
(2 Corinthians 5:17 Ephesians 6:32)
Six, Ray's wife said a word you've really changed recently that I wish changed could change me. Therefore, as Christians, we must live out the likeness of God and use our lives to influence the people around us! And know that not only women, all people can easily see whether you are sincere and honest or hypocritical and perfunctory, so if you do not use the heart of Christ in your life, your work will be in vain! I guess this kind of life is not something that money, status, rights and other signs of success can solve! ? I don't think Ray is a failure at all from the point of view of the world~? !
(Matthew 5:13-16 Philippians 1:3-11)
Seven, that Dr. Keller's comparison of him to Satan is a bit too much, but he can still hint at something~ Dr. Keller's love is only 300 yuan + a lie to cover up and take credit, Satan is the same even if he Being an angel of light can only give us a little bit, even if he gave us the whole world, what value would it be for us to accompany our lives in the end! ? What is even more abhorrent is that God created all things and loves us and regards us as treasures, but he puts lies and doubts into our hearts and steals the glory of God, so some people worship false gods and he gives them signs and wonders to strengthen their faith. Faith gives us mortal rotten glory, money, status, and reputation to turn our backs on God's Word and stiffen our necks from the Lord! But when Ray gave him an angry and righteous warning in front of his face, he flinched. . . Behold this is the power and ability of this Satan! Therefore, we must also have faith that we can overcome Satan and overcome the world by relying on our Jesus Christ, who has already conquered and returned to his heavenly home!
(John 10:1-18)
Eighth, when Dr. Keller backed away after being warned by Ray Catherine said to an old Christian that she felt very empty the same without our creator telling us how we were made and what we were made of At that time, we didn't know that our value had to follow the world with the people next to us, so we created our "proud" "communication skills"----variability and multi-facetedness!
(Psalm 138-139)
But when the old Christian talked about Dr. Keller's problem, Catherine chose to leave and said she didn't want to discuss the issue. Then she didn't give up on Dr. Keller. In reality, we only want to pursue what we want without really thinking about our life, our motives, our purpose, our object, etc., etc. We are the same when we sin, and we don’t want to be caught by our father. Brothers and sisters encounter this is a sinner's fear and escape from a holy God!
