Courageous- The Honor of a Father


Recommended Posts

Okay, I'm not sure if anyone has seen this movie, so for those of you who haven't seen Courageous, it is about a group of police officers, who are also fathers, and how they decide that they would be better and more honorable Fathers, while fighting gangs at the same time. They form a Resolution to guide their families, which reads like this:

[colour=#333333]I do solemnly resolve before God to take full responsibility for myself, my wife, and my children.[/colour]

[colour=#333333]I WILL love them, protect them, serve them, and teach them the Word of God as the spiritual leader of my home.[/colour]

[colour=#333333]I WILL be faithful to my wife, to love and honor her, and be willing to lay down my life for her as Jesus Christ did for me.[/colour]

[colour=#333333]I WILL bless my children and teach them to love God with all of their hearts, all of their minds, and all of their strength.[/colour]

[colour=#333333]I WILL train them to honor authority and live responsibly.[/colour]

[colour=#333333]I WILL confront evil, pursue justice, and love mercy.[/colour]

[colour=#333333]I WILL pray for others and treat them with kindness, respect, and compassion.[/colour]

[colour=#333333]I WILL work diligently to provide for the needs of my family.[/colour]

[colour=#333333]I WILL forgive those who have wronged me and reconcile with those I have wronged.[/colour]

[colour=#333333]I WILL learn from my mistakes, repent of my sins, and walk with integrity as a man answerable to God.[/colour]

[colour=#333333]I WILL seek to honor God, be faithful to His church, obey His Word, and do His will.[/colour]

[colour=#333333]I WILL courageously work with the strength God provides to fulfill this resolution for the rest of my life and for His glory.[/colour]

[colour=#333333]As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. – Joshua 24:15 [/colour]

[colour=#333333]Of course, there are challenges that await these four men. I won't go into details, because some of them are heartbreaking. IF you really are curious about it, though, let me know and I'll PM it to you.

Why? Because it is out of courtesy that I bear in mind that there are folks who are more sensitive than others, while others just laugh at a situation that folks should truly be solemn in.[/colour]

[colour=#333333]Anyhoodle, I am looking for a few ideas that would make this movie less saddening, but still carry out the same message in our RP. [/colour]
