Fireproof

Fireproof2008



Caleb Holt:
Yeah, well, Catherine's not buying any of it.

John Holt:
And why do you think that is?

Caleb Holt:
She doesn't love me. She doesn't even like me. Dad, she just about ignored everything I've done.

John Holt:
Are you reading everything on each page?

Caleb Holt:
You mean the Bible verses at the bottom. I'm not, dad. I told you, that is not what I need.

John Holt:
Then what do you need?

Caleb Holt:
I need Catherine to wake up to the fact that we're about to get an ugly divorce. And I'm trying to prevent that. But I cannot do it by myself.

John Holt:
That may be true. But I think you need more than that.

Caleb Holt:
Dad, if you're gonna tell me I need Jesus, please don't. I don't need a crutch to get through life.

John Holt:
Son, Jesus is much more than a crutch. He's become the most significant part of our lives.

Caleb Holt:
Dad, why do you keep saying that? The most significant part... How is that?

John Holt:
When I realized who I was, and who He was, I realized my need for Him. I needed His forgiveness and salvation.

Caleb Holt:
See, I don't understand. Why do I need His salvation? What? Am I gonna be thrown into hell? For what? 'Cause I got divorced?

John Holt:
No. Because you violated His standards.

Caleb Holt:
What? 'Thou shall not kill'? Dad, I help people. I am a good person.

John Holt:
According to you. But God doesn't judge by your standards. He uses His.

Caleb Holt:
And what are His?

John Holt:
Well, truth, love...

Caleb Holt:
Okay. I'm honest.

John Holt:
Faithfulness...

Caleb Holt:
I care about people. I am those things.

John Holt:
Sometimes. But have you loved God? The one who gave you life? His standards are so high, He considers hatred to be murder, and lust to be adultery.

Caleb Holt:
Dad, what about all the good I've done?

John Holt:
Son, saving someone from a fire doesn't make you right with God. You've broken His commandments. And one day, you'll answer to Him for that.
