Looking for a good movie this weekend? Then check out Thr3e. It’s a new movie based on the best-selling novel by Ted Dekker. This past week has been awesome for me because I have had the opportunity to talk to Ted Dekker twice on the phone and see the movie twice (see previous post).
As Christians it is so important that we support faith-based films. We go to the movies all the time and throw our money at junk and don’t think twice about it. Why not support something that is entertaining and shares spiritual truth? Makes a little more sense, right? Hello..it better!
Thr3e is not what most would consider a “Christian film”, but rather it is a movie/story created by Christians that is relevant to our culture. There are no “come to Jesus” speeches or moments in this film, but the overall message is powerful and will hopefully encourage people to think about their spiritual lives. It is a psychological thriller that will definitely keep you guessing until the end, and it is a perfect example of how a good movie can be made without all the junk that Hollywood thinks we want to see.
The success of this film in the box office could really open some doors for more faith-based films to find a way into our culture. Jesus was always finding ways to be relevant to the world around Him, especially through his lifestyle and his parables. We should be about the same business! Go out and support Thr3e this weekend and help further this cause so we can attempt to reach the world on a whole new level. Click here to find out where it is showing.

For some reason, Thr3e is not showing in our area. I just got on to look and there are no showtimes. I guess I will have to wait for it to come out on DVD.
