TEMPAT YANG TENANG

“Give us this day our daily bread…”

Your first step into the house of God was not to the kitchen but to the living room, where you were reminded of your adoption. “Our Father who is in heaven.” You then studied the foundation of the house, where you pondered his permanence. “Our Father who is in heaven.” Next you entered the observatory and marveled at his handiwork: “Our Father who is in heaven.” In the chapel, you worshiped his holiness: “Hallowed be thy name.” In the throne room, you touched the lowered scepter and prayed the greatest prayer, “Thy kingdom come.” In the study, you submitted your desires to his and prayed, “Thy will be done.” And all of heaven was silent as you placed your prayer in the furnace, saying, “on earth as it is in heaven.”

 

Director Brian Baugh and producer-slash-writer Jim Britts first feature together, “To Save A Life” aims to revolutionize both Christian films and youth films by diving deep into the troubles facing teenagers nowadays. The major premise of the film is to uplift, save, and bring hope to suffering teens losing all hope to live.

In the world we live in ironies are existent everywhere but by chance of fate or maybe a turn of destiny, it happens to the least likely of people: best friends. Jake Taylor (Randy Wayne) and Roger Dawson (Robert Bailey Jr.) were the best pals back when they were kids. But by push of influence in high school, the two quickly grew apart from each other to land in the opposite ends of the spectrum. Now known as the popular kid, Jake has everything a teenage could ever want: friends, fame, a basketball scholarship, and the affections of the hottest girl in school. Meanwhile Roger has totally none from friends, confidence, and even hope. With a life full of rejection, despair, and disappointment, Roger is pushed to the edge as he travels to campus carrying a gun to meet his own tragic death.

“I am not worthy; I cannot answer you anything, so I will put my hand over my mouth.” (Job 40:4)

The phrase for the chapel is “Hallowed be thy name.”

This phrase is a petition, not a proclamation. A request, not an announcement. Hallowed be your name. We enter the chapel and beseech, “Be hallowed, Lord.” Do whatever it takes to be holy in my life. Take your rightful place on the throne. Exalt yourself. Magnify yourself. Glorify yourself. You be Lord, and I’ll be quiet.
