Evan Almighty

just finished watching Evan Almighty. there are values in the movie man. about spending time with family and also being kind. its not really that funny la. okay only. compared to Bruce Almighty.

the other day, yiye was like saying, " why are they making movies on christianity? " its kinda odd to me too. but after i watched, i realise theres a moral behind the story. as i said before, this story talks about spending time with family and being kind. its about a new congressman called, Evan Baxter, called by God (played by Morgan Freeman; wonder why they always use him as God) to be the modern day Noah and build an ark. so he ignores God and God screw up his life until he decided to build the ark.

basically, God is using this excuse to make him spend more time with his family and also exercise abit of kindness everyday. and of course, using this as an excuse to get rid of certain bad guy (played by Mr Flintstone).

watching this movie has made me understand God's way a little bit more. there are some stuff said by Morgan Freeman; who plays God, that really is worth thinking about.

On the story about Noah's Ark,

" Many people miss the point of the story. They think its about God's wrath and anger. It never was about God being angry. Its actually a love story about believing in each other. Animals show up in pairs, they stood by each other. Side by side. Just like Noah and his family. Everybody entered the ark side by side. "

On God's way of answering prayers,

" If someone prays for patience, you think God will give them patience? Or do you think God will give them the opportunity to be patient?
If someone prays for courage, you think God will give them courage? Or do you think God will give them the opportunity to be courageous?
If someone prays for their family to be close, you think God helps him with warm fuzzy feeling? Or give them opportunity to love each other? "


new insight on how God helps people to overcome things. he provides in a different way. from the appearance, this movie may seem to be another commercialised Bible story. read deeper into it, and it may be God's answer to how he guides his children. one new acronym i learned fro this movie.

" You want to know how to change the world son? one Act of Random Kindness at a time. "
