About ten minutes ago, I finished viewing a new movie titled, God's Not Dead. Intrigued by the trailer, I decided to purchase it at a local Target yesterday. Upon watching it today, I became not only captivated by the astounding performance of the actors, but also fascinated at how much this movie captured the truth of this:
Yes, there is debate over whether or not God is alive. Yes, everyone has a different perspective on the topic. And yes, anyone can take a stand for their belief.
Anyway,
the movie starts out with a college freshman named Josh, who decides to take on a philosophy class. A college administrator tries to warn Josh upon finding out he is Christian. Josh takes the class anyway and finds out his professor doesn't believe in God. The first task of class as the professor so flatly stated, "I want you to write three words on this piece of paper with your signature." (I'd just like to point out now that I am not directly quoting the movie throughout any of this.) "I want you to write the words 'God is dead'." As everyone writes this out, Josh cannot go against his belief. The professor, clearly annoyed by this, presents a challenge to Josh, saying that in the last twenty minutes of the next three classes, Josh may give an argument defending his belief in God.
And thus the debate began.
Now, I won't tell you any more for I don't want to spoil anything about the movie. I will say this, however, that I thoroughly enjoyed watching it (even more so than I had anticipated) and I recommend it to all of you. Perhaps not children, but to all the teens and adults out there: whatever your beliefs are, however against God, with God, or neutral you currently are to Him, watch this movie. It changed my life.
