Sorry about not posting for a while, but here I am today to post again about the movie God's not Dead. So the last time I posted, it ended with Josh and his girlfriend breaking up. He had taken up the challenge to defend his faith in a classroom of an atheist professor. So now we go on to what happens next of course. Josh gives his second argument on God not being dead, and the professor claims that everything Josh is saying is just more and more lies. Josh then asks what happened to him to make him not believe in God. The professor tells him that when his mother was dying, it is only natural to ask God to save his mother. The thing that the professor did not understand was why did God let her die, so he decided that God did not exist from that point on.
Hmm, what does Josh do next? Well in the next argument, and this is the best one of the three, he narrows it down to one final point. What is that point? Well, the professor says that he might as well give a lecture on morals. Josh glady points out that God gave us morals because if their is no God, then EVERYTHING is permissible. Then Josh asks the professor why he hates God. The professor angrily announces that he does hate Him with a fiery passion. Josh then says, "How can you hate someone that doesn't exist." The class ends, everyone leaves, but there are a few more things that happen that I have to tell you about. Right after the class, one of the students catches up with Josh and tells him that he gave his life to Jesus. You can tell Josh is truly thrilled with the news and invites him to tag along to the Newsboys concert happening that very night. (Josh originally had the tickets for him and his girlfriend, but since they broke up, he had no one to go with.) Remember the girl with cancer? Well, she decided that she would have a surprise interview with the Newsboys. Upon interviewing them they ask her where her hope lies, and she has no answer. The drummer of the band asks her if she was here to see if all of the stuff they believe in was true. She answered yes. They prayed over her and she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. What about the professor? I'm getting to him. Well the professor then reads an old letter from his mom, and she wrote to him that she hoped that he would continue to grow closer to God even after she died. He then tried to contact his ex-girlfriend (he knew she was a christian), and he couldn't reach her. He knew she was at a Newsboys concert that was happening that night. He ran to get there to find her. On the way there he got hit by a car and was about to die. Remember Reverend Dave? He just so happens to be there when the professor gets hit. He rushes over to him and asks him if he is a believer, and that is was by God's mercy that he didn't die instantly. The professor said he was an atheist. Of course Dave took this chance to explain to him that God was giving him one final chance to decide between Him and eternity in hell. The professor accepts Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and then dies.
Always remember this: Your words could be the only bible someone who is lost ever hears in their lifetime. Wouldn't you want your best friend to spend eternity with you in God's presence?

God's Not Dead Pt 2
So on my last post I talked about the movie God's Not Dead. I went into the very beginning of the movie and left y'all hanging with the student taking up the challenge to defend his faith. So what happened next? Well before I do that, I just want to introduce some other characters into the storyline so that you may understand the movie a little bit more. One of the other characters is Amy Ryan. She is a well-known blog writer who seeks to find the truth behind God. We first see her in action when she wakes up after realizing she slept in. She finds her car broken into, and her GPS was stolen. With a huge interview planned, she needed to have directions to where she was going. Shen then reverts to asking her rich boyfriend, Mark, for directions. We'll get more from Mark later. Amy is then at the church that Willie Robertson and his wife attend. She interviews them by asking them many questions about their beliefs. Willie Robertson quotes scripture saying "Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my father in heaven." Matthew 10:32,33. The couple then invited Amy to church with them, but she denied the offer since she does not believe in God. Amy is then seen in a doctors office. She was told she has cancer and that it has already grown too much. She meets her wealthy boyfriend for dinner and tells him the bad news. Mark breaks up with her since he can not handle her having cancer. Now to tell you a little bit about Mark. He's rich, successful, and his life is perfect. He's got everything he could ever want, and yet he is not a Christian. Next, I want to tell you about about Mark's mother. She is a very old woman. She has not done a single thing wrong. She's super nice. She's is a Christian. Yet she had dementia. We'll get back to that later. Hmm, now to tell you about Ayisha. She lives in a muslim home, but she is a Christian. When around her family she acts Muslim, but when she is on her own she acts like a Christian. One day her father finds out about her being a Christian and he kicks her out of the house. She heads to the local church and talks to the two ministers there, Reverend Dave and Reverend Jude. They tell her that everything is going to be okay. She believes that God will help her.
Now to get onto the next part of the movie. Josh Weaton decides to tell his girlfriend that he wants to take up the challenge the professor has given him to defend his faith. His girlfriend, who he has been dating for 6 years now, tells him to drop the class. Josh tells her he has to do it, but she doesn't want him to. Ayisha was listening into the conversation. Note: this is important for later in the movie. Josh then goes to class, and for the last 20 minutes of the class he poses his argument for why he believes God is not dead. The professor points out something that was recently found out. Such as the law of Gravity exists, something will come out of nothing. Hearing this, Josh did not know how to respond at the moment. That night he went onto studying more about this theory and found out some interesting facts about this theory. The next day Josh's girlfriend met up with Josh, and they discussed that today was their anniversary. After Josh got up, all of his books that he was using to study for the argument against the professor fell out of his bag. Upon seeing this, his girlfriend was not happy with him and broke up with him. This just goes to show that even the people that love you the most don't always want you to do what God wants you to do. Josh was not thrilled with this, but he continued on with his life.
I think I have told you enough about this movie for today. I will share more later.
Hope y'all enjoyed my post for today.

God's Not Dead!
Hey, it's Logan again. What have I been up to other than work and school and more work? In between some of this, I was able to take my younger brother to the movies. Today I want to tell you guys about this movie I recently saw. God's Not Dead! I have to say that I did not expect it to be as good as it was. It was so awesome that I actually saw it twice! It is definitely a movie YOU should go see. It was only playing at select theaters for a bit. After realizing how much of a success the movie was, most other theaters were opening up a spot so that they could play the movie.
The movie is about a college freshman who is a devout Christian that takes a required philosophy class with the teacher being an Atheist. Most of you can easily predict what happens next. The teacher would say something about God not being real, the student says that he is, and the two battle it out with countless arguments. The student eventually loses his faith because the professor just knows way too much about how the world works, and counters every single argument the student gives. Wrong! Actually, that is not what happens. Instead, the professor starts out the class by naming many of the famous philosophers, and then reveals to the class how all of them were atheists. Right after saying that, he tells that class that God is dead. Not that God died, but that he never existed. The professor then hands out a sheet of paper to all of the students(approximately 80) and tells them that he wants his class to come to the unanimous vote that God is dead. All they had to do was write this on their paper, sign the form, and turn it in to him for a grade. The college freshman, Josh Weaton, does not feel comfortable doing this. He just could not write down something that he did not believe. When the professor got to him, he asked him why Mr. Weaton would not sign the paper. Josh states that he could not write down something he does not believe. The professor decided to let Mr. Weaton prove to the entire class that God is NOT Dead. He was given a brief amount of time at the end of the lecture for 3 weeks to prove his beliefs. Josh was not too certain on how to go about this, but after speaking with Reverand Dave at the local church, he decided to take up the challenege of defending his faith and proving that God is NOT Dead.
Hmm, I am sure you are all wanting to know what happens next. Well that will have to wait until tomorrow.
