God's Not Dead

                 For all of those who regularly visit and view my blog, thank you. I hope and pray that you have found my reviews helpful in your movie-viewing decisions. If you have come to trust my blogs...thank you. Now to those who trust me and my reviews, I ask that you trust me once again.
                Although the movie I am reviewing may not seem too appealing, I ask that you completely trust me on this one. God's Not Dead is a movie worth the $10 Regal movie ticket. This Christian film is not one of those cheezy ones that have come out in the past. This movie is one that is totally relatable and you will be moved.
                Even if you don't believe in God, I ask that you go and see this. Please, it will change your view on beliefs, the world, and most importantly, God. If you're already a believer... go and support this movie 100%.
               

           Alright, God's Not Dead contains six or more consecutive stories that all intertwine and connect. So, in order in tell all of God's Not Dead, without completely confusing you, I will tell all of  the stories one at a time. First, starting with Josh Wheaton.

        The movie begins with Josh getting verification for his schedule at college. He's a freshman. He then goes off to the main class that the movie focuses on... philosophy. The teacher is one such Mr. Raddington, who is an aetheist. He says that in order to move on in the class, he wants to get through the students' minds that there is no God.

              He says this so that he can move on with his class and not be challenged, because the idea of an all-powerful superhuman being is ridiculous, and he doesn't want God to get in his way of teaching. He tells the students to write on a sheet of paper, "God is dead."

              All of the class does so... except for Josh. When Mr. Raddington is coming to collect the
papers, he looks at Josh and says,

              "Is there a problem, Mr-"
              "Wheaton. Josh Wheaton," Josh boldly replies.
              "Well, Mr. Wheaton. Is there a problem?"
              "Yes. I can't... I can't do this. I'm a Christian."
              Oh, snap. Well, Mr. Raddington isn't so happy about that, and he tells Josh that during the next three classes, with 20 minutes in each, Josh has to convince him that God is NOT dead.
              Josh suggests instead that he must convince the class of 80 students, since their mindset is already that God IS dead. Mr. Raddington agrees, but thinks that Josh will fail.
              Josh's girlfriend hears, and is really mad. She thinks Josh shouldn't oppose Mr. Raddington, but Josh keeps going, and does all three parts of his lecture. I'll tell you this much... it's powerful.


Part Two Coming Soon!
