Signs of God's Presence

This week, in our sermon series Conversations with an Athiest, I will be addressing the problem of suffering. That message will be posted in just a few days. In the meantime, some of you may want to check out Mel Gibson's movie Signs. It has just come out in Blu-Ray format, or you can get it in the bargain bin at your local movie rental store. The story this intense movie tells is set against the backdrop of an alien invasion. But, the story is really not about space aliens. The keen observer will discover that the story is really about the question, where is God when we suffer. The answer is subtle but profound. If you can take the rise in blood pressure, this one is worth your time. However, it is not suitable for small children.
