God's Not Dead!

I just saw the trailer for this movie coming Spring '14...I am very excited about it.  I love that it hits on the college age group and educational institutions...there are a lot of hypotheses presented as truth due to what professors believe and, unfortunately, we have a lot of disillusioned young people as a result.  Some youth from our youth groups in the past have contacted Brad while in college to discuss how hard it is to be a Christian there...especially in terms of their Ethics or Philosophy classes.  It definitely takes guts to take a stand for God like this when the "highly educated", authority figures present their viewpoints as unchallengeable.

Here's a link to the trailer...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMjo5f9eiX8&list=UUKRU6yh8rHqmRuX2htuFDNg

Sometimes we worry so much that we won't have the words and if we speak out we may just make God look like a fool or we have already let Him down so much we are reluctant to voice a different belief because of our fears...I know I have operated out of an attitude of defeat at times.  Brad and a friend of his performed this incredible skit last week at church from the Skit Guys called "God's Chisel"...it really has amazingly powerful moments in it, but one that I love is when the man tells God he has let him down and God responds that he (the man) was never holding Him up...that in their relationship God does the holding.  So Powerful!  Then, this movie has a song called "Hold You Up" ...just one of the "take notice" moments for me, you know....and it is true...IF GOD IS FOR US WHO CAN BE AGAINST US? Romans 8:31  This should embolden us and give us freedom in the Spirit.

Enjoy this worship song...it is one of my faves...God will never forsake us in our weaknesses!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d9Lkgy-Nkc
