Joe Versus the Volcano

Ken

Are you awake? “Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light” (Ephesians 5:14 KJV). Patricia (Meg Ryan) said to Joe (Tom Hanks) in the fantasy comedy movie, “Joe Versus the Volcano” (1990): “My father says that almost the whole world is asleep. Everybody you know. Everybody you see. Everybody you talk to. He says that only a few people are awake and they live in a state of constant total amazement.” Do you see more than just what the average church member has been programmed to see, as they encourage themselves they are on their way to Heaven? “How narrow is the gate and difficult the way that leads to life, and there are few who find it!” (Matthew 7:14 NET).
