Mark 16:15 KJV And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
An independent Christian film shocked Hollywood observers over the weekend when it debuted in the top 5 for earnings despite being shown in less than 1,000 theaters.
God’s Not Dead, a low-budget production that shows a college student accepting an atheist professor’s challenge to provide a defense for the existence of God, was shown on only 780 screens last weekend but earned $9.2 million in the first three days to finish in 4th place according to the Hollywood news site deadline.com.
That put the movie just ahead of the film 300: Rise of an Empire, which earned $8.5 million on the weekend on 3,085 screens.
The film is the 7th all-time grossing Christian film on its opening weekend, ahead of Fireproof’s $6.8 million.
The movie had a boost from appearances by Willie and Korie Roberston of Duck Dynasty who said their participation in the film strengthened their faith in Christ.
The film’s distributor is attempting to put the movie into more theaters this coming weekend.
This was one of the best Movie Ever, My Family went to see it and, when you hear others in the Theater, mone, get upset, then CHEER & I Must say Sniffining with tears, YOU HAVE A FANTASTIC MOVIE, & guess What it is about OUR LORD!
I have not seen the movie. Hopefully it be shown in our threatens very soon.God is not Dead .Is a true statement for the word of The Lord declared it in Genesis1:1.When we get in trouble we call on God, When we think everything is find we don’ t need him.The day is coming , Every knee is going to bow and every toungue is going to confess that he is Lord. We(you) can’t serve two masters, you’re either love one or hate the other.Chose who This Day you will serve.No man on this planet is going to make him out of a liar. Keep pressing toward the high calling in your walk with Christ.Be Bless
I saw this move and it is a soul winner! Honestly, it’s the best movie I’ve seen in a long time. I was surprised to read that it was only in 1,000 theaters. It is awesome and definitely gives hollywood movies a run for their money! Loved it! He’s Alive!
Saw movie last weekend with my sisters. It was wonderful. Will buy the DVD when it comes out. Loved the songs by Newsboys. What praise to our Lord.
I have heard of a movie called “Moses” or something similarthat has been released resently. I hear it has bad reviews from Christians because it is not biblical. But there is another movie we can download at a website called “MosesTheMovie.com.” It was advertized on a Christian channel. Has anyone seen it? We are at a time when Christians need to support the God authorized movies to make sure the Word of God is not diluted in any way, so that babies in the Lord are not lost. I wish this movie of “God’s Not Dead” was somewhere close to where I live so I could see it.
I agree with all comments above and add that this is a film for the uncommitted; non Christians, as well as a feel good film for those of us who have seen the Light. It’s an easy way to get people to face the TRUTH. I tell everyone I know about this movie; I promoted it through my email address book. Keep getting the word out there about God’s Not Dead, folks. It was great to see Kevin Sorbo on Fox last night being interviewed by Bill O’Reily. Super job!! Thank you Lord for creative, artistic people producing wonderful films like this to help shine Your Light into our lives.
I thank all the Christians who placed this film for ALL of us that believe God is Well and Active on PLANET EARTH. God Bless! I LIKED what our famous comedian Red Skelton quipped on Johnnnie Carson’s show long ago. “Where do people in Hell tell people to go”…
Excellent movie……….everyone should see it…….students and parents.
I took my 10 year old grandson and he liked it.
I went to see the movie the first day it was showing. I thought at first that there would be too many negative words from the opposition . But I was very much impressed how it was a very positive presentation. And, of course, the Christian presentation gave Jesus Christ the winning vote. It was fantastic. I am so pleased with an increase of Christian films in the market place. I trust that it brings Revival in America!!
Hi, I was watching a show on TV the other day when I heard this. God gives the account of creation in 10 words. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” In Genesis Chapter 1 there are 13 steps including the sun, moon and stars. When Moses writes of them he lists them in exact order. Dr. Peter Stoner, a mathematician has calculated the chances of Moses writing Genesis Chap.1 accidently and getting it in the exact right order is one chance over 31 sextillion. That means 1 over 31 followed by 21 0’s. Dr Stoner illustrates by stating if you have a raffle it requires 8 million printing presses, each one printing 2000 tickets a minute, running day and night for 5 million yrs to produce that many tickets. 1 ticket goes to the winner. You’re chance of drawing that one ticket on the 1st try would be the same as Moses’ chance of writing the sequence of creation in Gen 1 by accident, therefore having defied the null hypothesis of probability, Moses was inspired by God to write Gen 1 & the 1st 5 books of the bible. The fact is God is the creator of heaven and earth whether the atheist like it or not or the ACLU like it or not… He is God our Creator.
That shows that there are a lot of people want this type of film. And that some of the Robertson family in the film lets me know all the hoopla about the ratings of Duck Dynasty were down was unfounded. Two films Christian films do so well, and another to be released is wonderful.
As a believer it was such a proud experience to see all the Christians going to the movie to experience faith at work through God’s kids. God is so good to us to give us all these Christ based movies that have been released lately.God’s Not Dead~ He’s Surely Alive~He’s living on the inside roaring like a lion!

Excellent movie !!!! This world needs to hear the gospel, the world needs hope! This movie delivered exactly that ! No matter what the facts of science have to say the only truth is that God is alive is real and is calling us to Him! Excellent movie based on actual court cases involving universities ! Our children are faced with this daily when they go off to college, this is why so many youth leave the church when they go away to college! Parents we need to do better jobs of not just taking our children to church but preaching and teaching AND most importantly LIVING the gospel in our homes , our children need to know and experience the love of Jesus and be transformed by it! This way when they leave our homes they will not abandon their faith!
I agree!
Amen, I agree. Our Saviour Lord Jesus will return very soon. I just wish more people would take us seriously. Even our children….
