Chuck E. Tate: Embrace a new life in Christ. As Ephesians 4:22 urges, throw off the old sinful nature. Choose a life that reflects God’s goodness and purpose.

In my early years in radio back in the late 70’s and early 80’s I played plenty of Johnny Cash’s music on KGCX in Sidney, Montana and KEYZ in Williston, ND! My all-time favorite is RAGGED OLD FLAG! The Ragged Old Flag kind of fits America to this day! Bring me back the America I knew! Much of Johnny’s music PREACHES! His life story sure does!

This is such a very awesome movie! WOW! Thank you Pastor Greg Laurie

Johnny Cash wasn’t just known for creating unique music, but for being a unique individual as well. Sinners thought Johnny was a saint, saints thought Johnny was a sinner, but, in reality, he was both. Just like us, he was flawed, he blew it, he fell, and he got up again. But he never lost his faith. In fact, at the very end of his life, it was stronger than ever.

He embodies the paradox of every Christian who wants to do what is right but struggles to do it, just like the apostle Paul described in Romans. That’s one reason I’ve wanted to tell his story for such a long time. His story is that of redemption, and it resonates with so many of us who mess up, yet still have God saying, “I’m not done with you yet.”

If we learn nothing else from the story of Johnny Cash, we learn that God gives second chances, and third ones, and fourth ones . . .
