You could expect to have spiritual movie reviews of such movies as
Passion of the Christ or Joshua. However, would you expect spiritual
reviews of Terminator 3, 50 First Dates, or Barbie's Swan Lake movie? <br>
<br>
Christian author Ken Clifton says Christian messages are rich in these
and other "secular" movies. "If God is the author of all truth, then
the true themes found in secular movies can tell us much about the
human condition, ourselves, or Himself," Clifton says. "Christ used
plants, buildings, and other things in the world to show the truths of
God. An open eye looking at the secular world would find evidences and
information of the spiritual around us."<br>

The Providential Plan movie review site has been operational for 6
weeks, covering the above listed movies, as well as Wide Awake, Bruce
Almighty, and Barbie in Swan Lake; however, the future movie reviews
are listed 6 months in advance and contains movies such secular movies
as Spiderman, Matrix Revolutions, Star Wars, and Van Helsing. Spiritual
movies on the list include Joshua, Left Behind, The Climb, and Six. The
movies alternate between a Christian movie review and a spiritual
secular review each week.<br>

"I know that many will be shocked to think that spiritual themes could
be found in secular movies, but I almost find more spiritual themes in
secular movies than most Christian movies," says Clifton. "For example,
you can learn of fate in Seredipity and T3, of spiritual realms in Star
Wars and City of Angels, and of mercy in Bruce Almighty."<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Alex Malich
