God’s Not Dead A Light in Darkness
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
I saw the ratings were low, and I have no place to criticize their opinions. Each of us get a different take when watching a film. The technical aspects were excellent. The acting superb. I saw this film as showing the emotional struggles we each face daily for what ever we feel the need to be human and reach out and express our thoughts, some good and some bad. This movie can remind us that as we grow in God, He in turn is helping us grow. Remember back to a past movie when the good reverend felt adrift in his church duties and wanted to be in the trenches?! Be careful in what you wish for. This movie shows the struggle in one circumstance and then brings you back to God’s point of view. How even with the tragic loss of life God used it for good. Humanity seems to like to go kicking and screaming until it dawns on us the way we should go. God is love and peace. Excellent film. I’ll be enjoying this one as the crowning achievement of this series. Thank you God for taking the log from my eye.-Beth
Spoiler alert!
Did Jesus mean every word he said? Even the stuff we dont like or understand? The first two films portrayed christians as a poor minority mocked and persecuted by the world. The enemies in those films were almost cartoonishly portrayed as militant God hating powerful abusers of position and authority out for christian blood. This film gives the antagonist their humanity back and teaches some much needed and neglegted ideas unique to the teachings of Jesus. The first and most prominent one being the doctrine of enemy love. Jesus taught we should love our enemies. He did this not only in word, but in his example. We (followers) were Jesus’s enemies, and he not only forgave us, but took our punishment on himself. Pastor Dave struggles with this idea. His best friend gets killed, the church building he grew up in was burned down, local powers are trying to take away all he has and all he can think to do is fight back, to demand justice.
The concept of “non-resistance-Emily Ford
I am one of Pureflix’s biggest fans, and I love the God’s Not Dead films, but this one is not worth the money or time. It is a very black and dark film, in content as well as in view. God barely gets an honorable mention, and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are persona non grata. No message of salvation, no message of anything positive. And to top it off, Pureflix did this in collaboration with Universal Studios, not a bastion of Christian filmmaking. The film ends with an apathetic attempt to promote love, peace, and unity among believers and nonbelievers with the lead character, David White, caving into worldly pressure. It appears he did the same with involving Universal. The subtitle: A Light in Darkness? No light of Christ in this film; just darkness and plenty of it. Don’t waste your time on this.-CherryAnn
