Another movie that is showing this weekend is God's Not Dead, which finished last weekend in the top five for box office revenue. It's the story of a college freshman confronted with a professor who endorses Nietzshe's famous statement: God is dead. The film follows the student's journey as he struggles to articulate his Christian faith. Audrey Arce, our Front Desk Administrator, says it is an awesome movie. The high school students are gathering on Saturday to watch it at Edwards Cinema, and I encourage you to see it, as well.
Can you remember a time when there were three faith based movies in the theater at the same time? I will rarely, if ever, say this again - Church, go see a movie! We should be engaging these films with our friends. Use them to launch conversations about faith. Don't get caught up in arguing about biblical accuracy or how Jewish Jesus looks. Focus on the stories. Let God speak to you through them. Go to the movies, and pray that God works through them to proclaim the Good News that God's not dead, that His promises are true, and that He sent the Son of God to be our Savior.
P.S. Men, if you have been waiting to sign up for the Men's Conference, there isn't any more time to wait. Get signed up this weekend. You won't regret it.
