When this church was beingstarted, I rang doorbells and

asked, “Why don’t you go tochurch?” “What books do you read?”I found the unchurched people werereading Norman Vincent Peale. So, linvited Dr. Peale to come and preachin the drive-in theater, and I promisedhim a big crowd. I told him we hadthe biggest churchparking lot (1,700cars) in southernCalifornia whereeverybody couldhave a soft seat near an openwindow. Dr. Peale said he’d come.

For that Sunday, we advertised inthe sports page, the business page,

the news section, and the women’s page . We really blanketedsouthern California. Thedrive-in theater wasjam-packed with cars. I’llnever forget that Sunday, because amovie was playing on the life ofAudie Murphy, the World War II

hero. The movietitle was on themarquee and rightbelow it, ourspecial guest in-

formation: “To Hell and Back…InPerson, Norman Vincent Peale.”

Well, that morning I forgot Dr.Peale’s biographical sheet. As I

walked up to the podium to introducehim, I prayed for guidance. This iswhat came out:

“Ladies and gentlemen, we havewith us today the greatest positivethinker in the world. His name is ahousehold word. He is, in my mind,the most beautiful person I have everknown. If you get to know him

ouldn’t it be great if there were afew more positive viewingoptions during TV’s summer

Dr. Peale blushed from the collar up. My introduction hadintimidated him, although I hadn’t intended it to do so.He began, “If Jesus Christ were here today, whatwould He tell you? Would He tell you what terriblesinners you are?”

I thought, “Yes, He would.” But Dr. Peale boomed, “No! I don’t think He’d

have to. Deep down in your soul, you know it.What He would tell you is, ‘Follow me and I willmake you fishers of men.’” ROBERT H. SCHULLER

When I was a teacher, I felt it was my responsibility to help mystudents discover how they could leave a positive mark inthe world with their lives. I helped them determine their

unique gifts, equipped them to use those gifts to the best of theirabilities, and then celebrated their achievements at open houses,festivals, etc.

As their principal, I also thought it was my responsibility to helpteach my students that they could leave a positive mark by helpingothers. At Crystal Cathedral’s private school, Ipiloted a program I called “Mission Learning:Teaching Habits of the Heart,” which hascontinued for seven years, with other schoolsadopting the program, integrating mission withlearning. For example, as part of the socialstudies unit, “From Farm to Market,” secondgrade students glean fields for Second Harvest, which provides foodfor the hungry and homeless, and then write about their experiences.

I recalled this same desire—to help people learn how to leavepositive marks on this world—when I viewed one of the movies that weare offering in our Summer Movie Club. “Angelo,” a movie unavailableanywhere else but through our movie club, is a heartwarming storyabout a very special boy and his mother as they find their way in ahostile and hardscrabble world. Angelo learns how to leave his positivemark through the help of a neighbor who recognizes his special abilities.

I found myself thinking that it is our divine mandate as followers ofJesus to leave positive marks on our world, and what better way thanto help someone else find their divine purpose—their calling to leavetheir positive mark. What if we all were leaving positive marks on ourworld? What would our world be like?

At Crystal Cathedral, we are committed to making a positivedifference—to leaving a positive mark. We are committed to helpingyou discover your God-given calling so you, too, may leave yourpositive mark. We pray that you, in turn, will also help others aroundyou do likewise.

As my father taught me, “Anyone can count theseeds in an apple but only God can count the apples inone seed.” You have planted countless seeds andhence countless apples with your generous supportof this ministry, which makes it possible for us tomotivate, inspire, and encourage millions to go outand leave their own positive marks. Thankyou for making an eternal difference!

Film Notes from Sheila…

Pastor Sheila shares her response to just a few of the many filmsto be featured on this year’s Summer Movie Club DVDs…

Razorback This is a lovely movie about a mute boy who has adream. Watch what happens when a dream ignites courage, andrestores a brokenhearted child.

Char • la • tan When my son, Scott, was about seven years old,he let me know that I was being a charlatan–a phony listener–justlike a character in this movie. We both changed when we learnedthat “love is patient…love is kind…”

EmilyAs a schoolteacher and principal for many years, Emily’ssituation is all too familiar. Children–even from the best ofhomes–hear their parents having hard discussions. This film showsus how to love others through the tough times.

Angelo I loved watching this little boy, Angelo, use his gifts toleave a positive, divine mark on his world. God created each of usspecial and unique–designed for a purpose.

A Dream Deferred Warning: This movie might inspire you todust off a creative idea that you have tucked away, and to pray thatGod will ignite, or reignite, your God-given dream.

A Beautiful Life In this story, both father and son haveproblems. Discover something new about your own life afterwitnessing their complicated lives redeemed through beauty thatchanges them forever.
