This week’s theme for my blog is “Movies” and I chose to discuss the movie “God’s not dead”. In the movie God’s not dead a freshman university student Josh Wheaton attends a philosophy class, where the uncompromising Professor Radisson requires all students to submit a signed statement that the "God is dead" and never existed. When Josh refuses due to his own Christian beliefs, the Professor challenges him to defend his position that his God is real - which leads to a series of confrontational presentations between himself and the professor, with the class as jury. Josh's plans to go to law school depend on not failing this class. Josh's fellow Christian girlfriend urges him not to throw away his future with this meaningless action of defiance. At the same time, Pastor Dave and African missionary Jude attempt to leave town on a trip, but are hindered by curious incidents. Student Ayisha is at odds with her father's conservative Muslim religious principles. Hotshot businessman Mark acts cynically towards his mentally ill mother, while his famous leftist blogger girlfriend receives bad news from a doctor.

This movie helped me understand that living to serve God isn’t always blessings and happy moments. There are a lot of good movies that bring us messages that help us in life later on. Movies are a genius way to talk to the world and if we start using that source and the whole media for good causes we could really change the world for good. Act up.
