I recently saw Evan Almighty with my girlfriend, and we thought it was a very good movie. It's pretty much 100% clean, and while it pokes some fun with the story of Noah, I feel it carries many valuable lessons out for the world today.

The first one being to obey God, because you can't always see what He has in store, but if you trust in Him he won't lead you astray.

The Second one being that just because you haven't been walking with God, doesn't mean he doesn't exist and isn't working in your life (and that he has stopped loving you).

What do you think about this movie? And what other messages do you think it carries?

Blessings!

If it's anything like Bruce Almighty, I'm sure I'll love it!

i was at a church on sunday that used clips to help demonstrate points in the talk.......i dont think it pokes fun at noah more like it pokes fun at people who think they know better than God. personally i'm glad they have realised God has a sense of humour and fun.

edit. i like the bit where 'God' tells evans wife...... if someone prays for courage wouldn't God give them a chance to be courageous.....etc

That was my favorite part. I really liked it - I think it's really relevant.

I remember when Bruce Almighty came out... the previews looked terrible and I didn't want to see it because I thought it would be sacrilege.... but when my niece made me sit down with her and watch it I REALLY loved it. Great story... great point! I love that Hollywood can still create a movie with a Christian theme!

I truly home Evan Almighty does the same... I'm looking forward to seeing it!

I love how Christians today don't see the blasphemies that are happening right under their noses.

They take it as a light joke, yet it's only because they are blind. They are blind because they don't ask to see, and when they ask to see they don't believe they will see.

The first site of a trial or tribulation comes along and they run and hide and say it's not from god.

Be still and know that there is but one god.

Be still in flesh, in mind, and in spirit and just listen.
