Kirk Cameron Wants to ‘Shine Light in the Darkness’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Kirk Cameron has spent months touring the nations libraries and other locations with hopes to raise awareness of the issues plaguing our country.
However, Cameron told CBN’s Faithwire that our country and culture need to change.
“There is a need for a new generation of liberty men and women to rise up and I want to be counted among them,” Cameron said. “So, what do I do? Start by rooting the sin out of my own heart, because, if I don’t do that, I’ve disqualified myself for doing anything bigger than getting my own house in order. … Love my wife, raise my kids, and then use the opportunities I can to shine light in the darkness.”
Movieguide® recently reported on Cameron’s new book, “Pride Comes Before the Fall”:
For his next stop on his nationwide tour Cameron, and his team plan to travel to the Seattle Public Library. Where he plans to read the new book.
When chatting on the book’s storyline Cameron stated, “There’s danger, adventure, waterfalls.”
He continued, “With a nation that is so saturated with the idea that pride is a good thing, the Bible warns us that pride is the deadliest of the seven deadly sins. Before greed, gluttony, sloth, wrath, envy and lust – is pride.”
“It’s the mother vice that gives birth to all the other dangerous things on the list,” he added. “I want to teach children the importance of being humble and kind.”
Cameron went on to say, “In the Bible, God devotes an entire book to warning against the dangers of pride and encouraging humility. It’s the Book of Proverbs – and every proverb there is about ‘down with pride, up with humility,’ because God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble.”
He concluded, “The great learning in the Scripture is this: Pride comes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.”
Cameron reminded believers that they must stand firm in their faith, even when it seems like the world is against you.
“Other people will be attracted to your courage and they will join you,” he said. “And, slowly, there will be a groundswell — God’s loving army of compassion will begin to speak the truth and love in all spheres of life.”
He continued, “If we want to change the nature of the tree from a bad tree to a good tree, we’ve got to get down and start to nourish the root again.”
