God's Not Dead

I just finished watching God's Not Dead.  I have to admit, it was not the first movie on my list of movies to see, due to poor critical reviews (Rotten Tomatoes), but it was on Netflix, so I clicked on it.

I was captivated.

If you haven't seen this, watch this.  I was captivated by the exchange between the student and the professor, even though both were exaggerated characters.  I also enjoyed the exchange of the young pastor with the missionary.  I loved the way the writers loosely tied the characters together.

But I think my favorite scene is depicted here below.  To set the scene, we understand the guy to be a very mean lawyer, who does not think of anyone but himself, and the lady to be his mother, who is riddled in a dementia.

That's pretty neat.  

Take a couple hours, and press "play" on your online Netflix subscription.  It is worth your time.  

Got's Not Dead is still my favorite opening worship song at church.  

Facing the Giants

Average man on left, Anak giant on right

I read this passage this morning:

But the others said, "We can't attack those people; they're way stronger than we are." They spread scary rumors among the People of Israel.  They said, "We scouted out the land from one end to the other - it's a land that swallows people whole.  Everybody we saw was huge.  Why, we even saw the Nephilim giants (the Anak giants come from the Nephilim).  Alongside them we felt like grasshoppers.  And they looked down on us as if we were grasshoppers." ~Numbers 13:31-33 (MSG)
