War Room Analysis

421 Words1 Page

Warriors all over are flocking to see War Room The Kendrick brothers new movie War Room is all about the power of prayer. It brings to life the ongoing spiritual battle that involves all of us. It tells of the daily struggle of a failing marriage, and how God can restore it. When a struggling marriage reaches its breaking point, it comes down to prayer, but more importantly, how to pray. When Elisabeth Jordan ( Priscilla Shirer ) finds a mentor in Mrs. Clara ( Karen Abercrombie ), her real estate client, her marriage is about to be flipped upside down. The raw emotion of the entire cast shows how much they genuinely want this to happen in real lives. Elizabeth's (Priscilla Shirer) persistence, Tony’s (T.C. Stallings) interior struggle, Danielle’s (Alena Pitts) understanding and forgiveness really captivated me. The star however was undoubtedly …show more content…

Mrs. Clara’s ice cream scene was pure gold. The whole movie was perfectly balanced with emotion. It had sadness, comedy, seriousness, and some points were so incredible, that they gave me chills. I learned that prayer is really powerful! It dawned on me how much we could use that power here at this school. We’re so hardened and afraid that we don’t want to be the one to actually make the change. If we can have just one person who will pray for their peers the same way that Elizabeth prayed for Tony, something truly special could happen here again. We need prayer warriors who will fearlessly speak the truth to their classmates, that will pray with each other! We need someone who will rise up and lead this restoration of christian students who seek Jesus instead of people's approval. I would recommend this movie to anyone. I feel it would encourage anyone, no matter what age to get serious about your faith. I really enjoyed the film and it encouraged me to strive to become closer with

  • The Awful Majesty That Is War Analysis

    791 Words  | 2 Pages

    Tim O’Brien states in his novel The Things They Carried, “The truths are contradictory. It can be argued, for instance, that war is grotesque. But in truth war is also beauty. For all its horror, you can’t help but gape at the awful majesty of combat” (77). This profound statement captures not only his perspective of war from his experience in Vietnam but a collective truth about war across the ages. It is not called the art of combat without reason: this truth transcends time and can be found in the art produced and poetry written during the years of World War I. George Trakl creates beautiful images of the war in his poem “Grodek” but juxtaposes them with the harsh realities of war. Paul Nash, a World War I artist, invokes similar images in his paintings We are Making a New World and The Ypres Salient at Night. Guilaume Apollinaire’s writes about the beautiful atrocity that is war in his poem “Gala.”

Hope’s innocence and naivety is central to the plot and is inescapable in the writing. This affected her story with Bobby. While Tyler Fauntleroy’s performance was impeccable, it was hindered

  • Persuasive Essay: Religion and School Prayer in Public School

    579 Words  | 2 Pages

    Those in favor of prayer in school pose several arguments.  They say it will increase tolerance in schools, as children learn of different religions and how they practice.  Many feel it will bring to surface the personal questions kids have about god and religion and allow them to search for their own belief system.  The most common however is the argument that bringing prayer back to schools will help reverse the moral degragation of this country.  As the Reverend Jeffery L. Osgood, pastor of the First southern Baptist Church in Dover wrote, "Back in 1962, when prayer was removed by the Supreme Court, something happened to America's soul and America's schools.  Our nation became increasingly secular and less tolerant of moral standards and values.  Since America became to proud to pray to the God of Heaven who created us, we have been reaping the rewards.  Crime is way up.  The family has broken up.  The test scores of students have taken a submarine dive.  Its time for a change!"

    The lights dimmed. You could see everyone raising their hands while closing their eyes. In this moment, there was only silence. Each person keeping still. Tears running down the faces of the ones who have been touched. Touched not physically, but touched emotionally in the soul. In this moment there was no fear, there was only strength. Standing and gazing over all the people who were singing, I led them in praise and worship. For many years throughout my highschool career, I’ve led my youth and church through many worships noticing how each and every individual grows and prospers to enhance their fullest potentials. Leading through my voice has strengthen my voice. My voice has grown from a child to a young adults. Leading a group in my church through my voice has not always been easy though, but the ending reward of knowing what I have accomplished in aiding those who need the help is fulfilling.

  • Movie Essay: The Movie War Room

    897 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the movie there are plot twists, emotion, conflict, and unexpected series of events. Even though War Room is a drama, it still portrays real issues facing families today. The Kendrick Brothers still manage to give this drama about prayer worriors a little fortitude as they illistrate how a commitment to prayer actually achomplishes what Paul describes in Romans 12:2. Those who pray faithfully for family and friends, may not see changes as dramatic or sudden as the ones Elizabeth and Tony expierenced onscreen. It seems that the world will throw one thing after another at Elizabeth, at first she gets stressed. Then when the world throws more at her she lays it at Gods feet and knows he will take care of her, and she keeps her ‘trust in Him.The producers of War Room put a lot of thought and time into the making, portraying real issues families deal with today. People look at this movie and think it’s only about prayer, their wrong. War Room has more messages to offer than just prayer. For example, take the main message, marriage. It's very straight forward: the role of a wife is to love her family and pray for her husband.

Without a doubt, our team was greatly affected by it, and we still feel its effects now, even as we have returned home from camp. We realize that poor decisions were made by us as a Core Team – who posed as leaders of leaders – and the negative implications that it has made for us, our teachers, and our administration. It is a decision that we admit to being a risk to not only the face of Monsignor Percy Johnson’s leadership, but the face of Catholic Student Leadership within the TCDSB.

  • Prayer In Public Schools

    561 Words  | 2 Pages

    All the school is trying to do is allow the kids to have a few minutes of prayer, so they can get through their day. Why do you think prayer should be granted in the public school systems? As i have said once before, I myself believe it should be allowed. Prayer is a meaningful thing; it may allow kids to have a much better day, do good on test, and stay out of trouble; therefore, I feel that once the people took prayer out of public schools that's when all the really bad things started happening in the world. I’m not saying that bad things weren’t already happening i'm trying to say that things seemed to have
