BE STRONG - Short FilmA short film about what it means to be strong.

Narration:
"Be strong" An instruction rarely spoken out loud, but often whispered. Uttered quietly to yourself, in the brief moment between a deep inhale and a long exhale. You tell yourself to be strong when you feel weak. And in doing so you find strength. How is this possible? How can a mere mortal summon strength? What is strength?
For many, the word conjures images of muscles. Rippling, sculpted bodies lifting, pushing, and pulling. Others picture wallets stuffed with hundred dollar bills. Necks and arms weighed down by glimmering metals and stones. Still others see strength as fire. A clenched fist. A sharp blade. True strength is none of these. True Strength lives in the soul. No matter how many tons you lift. No matter how many gallons you sweat. No matter how many millions of dollars, or followers, or romantic partners you accumulate. None of it will make you strong if you weren’t already strong to begin with.
True Strength is born of desperation, and heartbreak, and fear. It’s born on battlefields. In cancer wards, and graveyards. But also in bedrooms, and classrooms, and parking lots. When a cloud of failure darkens your path, strength illuminates it. But strength won’t stop you from failing. You will still fall. Even the strong fall. But when you are lying on your back, in agonizing pain, strength is what puts you on your feet.
The strong are the ones who get back up. The ones who keep pushing forward, and encourage others to do the same. The strong are the ones who huddle together in the cold. The ones who will rip their own garments to bandage your wounds. Because the strong ones want you to be strong too. It’s the weak man who crushes his enemies. The strong man befriends them.
So what is strength?
Strength is a choice. It’s a decision. It’s not something that takes years to achieve. It only takes a moment. The moment that you say to yourself “Be Strong” you become strong because you choose strength. You choose not to surrender. You choose to hold on when there is nothing in you except the will to hold on. Once you make this choice you can soar on wings like eagles. Strength is not exclusive. Everyone is created with the same capacity for it. So use it. Until this world drains every drop of blood from your veins and squeezes every breath from your lungs, do not give up. Be ambitious. Be determined. Be courageous.
Be Strong.

Pastor Leonor discusses how the Ten Commandments can be likened to Wedding Vows in a marriage relationship, highlighting God's love in giving us his law. When Christians approach the 10 Commandments this way, they see the beauty of God's law in the context of a loving relationship.

Pastor Sam Leonor was raised in Central America where his parents were part of developing health care missions.

He worked as a youth pastor in Asheville, NC before attending Andrews University where he earned a Master of Divinity. Sam has a passion for making church life meaningful. He wants to see people attach themselves to communities of faith that are healthy, growing and full of love. He believes that, like the Apostle Paul, people can experience dramatic personal change when they come in contact with the Gospel. This happens when Jesus the Christ and His teachings are lived out through the body of Christ. He is devoted to the Adventist church and to exploring contemporary Biblical spirituality. He enjoys ministry that focuses on faith that engages culture deeply and emphasizes justice. (Taken from the La Sierra University website.)
Pastor Sam Leonor is a popular Seventh-day Adventist Camp Meeting Speaker, who is known for his love for Jesus, the Bible, and the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
