I just finished reading “Autopsy Of A Deceased Church” by Thom Rainer again. Why again? Because I can’t take watching churches die anymore, and all of us need to see, and understand the signs of dying churches. You may think your church is exempt, but that is not reality. No church is exempt, that’s why you have to buy and read this books. The stakes are way to high for you to sit back and hope that others will be the primary care givers in your church. If that is your mentality, you may be only a few years away from an autopsy of your deceased church.

In August 2014, “God’s Not Dead” brought in 60 million at the box office. Ranking number eight in the Christian genre. Proving that Christian movies can make a large profit. God’s Not Dead is about a college freshman that is a devout Christian played by Shane Harper. Harper’s character must prove the existence of God to his college philosophy professor(atheist), to pass the class. However, this movie was a disaster because it was poorly made. In fact, this movie demonizes non-believers throughout the film. Portrays a stereotypical view of Christians. Therefore, God’s Not Dead reverts to the ancient ideology of Christianity. Instead of creating a realistic depiction of Christianity as a whole, this movie touches on stereotypes on both sides

Of all the Dead films, Diary of the Dead is by far one I enjoy the least. Not a sequel, but occurring at the same time as the original film, as you can hear some of the broadcasts over the radio. It feels disjointed with the other films as it feels like more a reboot than sharing any form of canonical order with the other films in the series. Another big issue I have is the found footage/documentary approach that the film takes. As it claims to be for us, to help us survive. The worlds ended and the internet would have been one of the first things to collapse. How are we seeing this and by the point that we would have seen it, chances are we already know all of this anyway. Rendering the very concept of film pointless.

Josh Wheaton: In God’s Not Dead Josh starts off as a Christian who stands for his faith. He begins to be challenged in one of his classes as his lecturer demands everyone to sign that ‘God is dead’. Josh refuses to sign the paper bringing judgement and trials upon him. Through it all Josh stuck to what he believed and used the opportunity to let the other students make their own choice regarding faith.

“What is the Day of the Dead?” A lot of people ask me that question. My answer “A traditional and cultural day”. It’s so special to all Mexico and the people, for 1 main reason. People think it's a weird, scary, or even dumb, they create ideas without even realizing the real meaning or impact it has in Mexican culture. Many steps and things have to be accomplished in order to keep it traditional.

John from his earliest days was studious, thoughtful, and reverent. At the early age of twenty-seven he wrote one of the world 's greatest books, The Institutes of the Christian Religion, when he died at Geneva in 1564 he bequeathed to the world the great principles of democracy and religious freedom. The other brother, Charles, pursued a course of profligacy and dissipation and lived life as worthless and infamous as his brother 's life was noble and glorious. How do you explain the difference between those two men? Not heredity, not in environment, not in education, for they had the same heredity, the same environment, the same home, the same early influences. The difference is to be explained in choice.

Every weekend we see a whole line-up of new and interesting movies and most of them bring in a crazy amount of revenue. There used to be a time where cinematic films were mainly focused on entertainment, but now there are films of almost every genre imaginable. Lately, in the past few years, Christian based movies have been making their comeback on the big screen. We've seen movies like Courageous, Do you believe, letters to God, and my personal favorite, God's Not Dead.

Religion can both guide and destroy a society. In Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, this is the case with Christianity, that the white men promote to the people of Umuofia. Specifically, Christianity leads the society when it inspires people and reignites hope into their lives, but destroys the Umuofian society when the white men have disagreement with the clan men, and the tensions between the two groups is high. The promotion of Christianity, by the white men, caused various moments that resulted in Christianity leading the society.

Truth Matters and God’s Not Dead are very similar, but do have a few subtle differences. The similarities seem to be much more plentiful than the differences. Both the book and the movie are focused on how non-Christian professors are able to get doubt into the mind and heart of an unfounded Christian student. Even if the student has grown up in the church, doubt can seep in without one doing their research because of the facts seeping in. While Truth Matters seemed to be based upon factual information fully in order to illustrate this, God’s Not Dead relies more upon real life examples the get the point across.

Having heard from people all over of how the Thessalonians gave up their worship of idols and had committed themselves to serving ‘the one true God’ (1 Thessalonians 1:9), the apostle Paul was eager to embark on a mission to Thessalonia long before he ever did (1 Thessalonians 1-3). However, the Thessalonians were very new to the Christian faith and were also somewhat naïve when it came to understanding certain aspects of their own religious doctrine, as shown to us by the Thessalonians’ fear of the Second Coming of Jesus, and the death of the believers, which will come when he returns. Paul knew this and didn’t want the Thessalonians to be uninformed, so he told them what to expect, (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18), and also told them not to fear what was to come, because all the believers, living and death would meet the lord beyond the clouds. In “The Taking Up of The Dead,” Joseph Plevnik ponders on whether or not Paul encountered the Thessalonians before this, and spoke to them of the resurrection of the dead. Plevnik also questions whether Paul registered a change of view on the matter between 1 Thessalonians and 1 Corinthians, and wonders what’s to be made of the translation motif in 1Thessalonians?

September 21, 2016 (SSB) — Revering the dead is culture of humanity. It is done in different parts of the world and by different communities. In Traditional American Indian burial prayer, for instance, the respect of the dead is shown in the way they are talked to as if they are alive and their prayer goes as follows:

In the movie- God’s Not Dead –Josh feels compelled to take a stand for the existence of God. He refuses to write “Dead” for the professor. That decision could have very serious consequences. Please describe 3. Again, use quotes and scenarios from the movies.
