God's Not Dead...

I just saw God's Not Dead, and this was, hands down, the most incredible movie I have ever seen. I've said that a lot, about a lot of things, but nothing has affected me like this before. 

The movie is about a Christian college student Josh Wheaten (Shane Harper) and his quest to prove God is alive. He is torn down and belittled by his philosophy teacher, Professor Radisson, who is adament that God is dead, and does not exist. The whole movie circles around not just Josh though, but about several other people, Christians, athiests, and people who just don't know. It shows the incredible strength and power of God, and how just one person can make such a HUGE difference. Some people have to overcome differences with parents, siblings, friends, girlfriends and boyfriends, and even have to leave some behind in order to get where they need to be, and where God is calling them.

I'll admit something. Do any of y'all remember awhile ago when we did the Compliments Tree thread? Remember when I thanked Maggie, and said she was an inspiration when I had just utterly broken? Well, I've been struggling a lot since then, and even possibly getting worse. But something in this movie clicked inside me, and I literally broke down crying in the middle of it. I think everyone in the theater started crying at one point, and we all cheered and applauded at another. The feeling cannot be expressed exactly. Only other Christians who have experienced renewal in Christ, even if you believed in Him before, will understand what I am talking about. 

Whether you are Christian, athiest, or someone just wondering, I strongly recommend you see this movie. For me, it was literally life changing.
