Your favourite film?

Yesterday I went to the cinema to see ‘Music and Lyrics’. Has anybody seen it yet? I thought it was going to be very girly, but it was in fact very funny. It made me think about past and present.

The main character (Alex Fletcher) had been in a band in the 80’s, and now he didn’t know what to do with himself. He had lost hope in the fact that he could write for the people of today. Instead, he continued to live in the past, by playing and singing in reunion parties…..

Sophie helped him to move away from the past and look forward to the future.

As I was watching the film, I started thinking...

Do I live in the past or do I look forward to the future?

How has my past shaped the way that I live my life today?

What is my vision for the future?

What about our churches? Do they relate to the people of today, or do they live in the past days and experiences?

It is good to ask ourselves these questions, and to learn to trust God with the now and the future.


So then, what is it that you hold dear of the past and what is it that you are hoping for the future?
