Stallone and the Savior, Rocky and Redemption
You probably know him best as Rocky or Rambo. He's Sylvester Stallone, film star and Christian? Sly, as he's also known, reveals a little bit about his upbringing as a Catholic, attending Catholic school, losing his way, and now attempting a spiritual comeback equal to his latest Rocky movie.
To critics and skeptics, this story smells of commercialism and marketing his movies to people of faith. To those who believe that God can redeem people under the most interesting circumstances, this is a feel good story.
Can you envision a St. Stallone? Can you picture Rocky sitting in a pew next to you in church? Is redemption possible under the stresses and temptations of Hollywood? Your favorite hero may be writing the ultimate script.

Can I picture Sly Stalone sitting next to me in church? Yes! Why not? My daughter has sat next to "Dog the Bounty Hunter" in her evengelical church. Our outsides are often times no indicator of our hearts.
