In All Things
Madeleine L’Engle says, “There is nothing so secular that it cannot be sacred, and that is one of the deepest messages of the incarnation.” If God could use human form to create His son to show us the way to reconciliation to Himself, then certainly He can give us guidance and sustenance for the journey.
We’ve found God in these movies. They are not classified as “Christian” films, but each of them has pointed us toward God and His Truth; each of them has some aspect, intentional or not, of the eternal.
