"When humans are on the verge of destruction"

Just a few minutes ago I was thinking, then suddenly some thing "popped" into my mind. It was a line from the movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still" 

(side-tracking for awhile) * even though the movie was terrible, and to me the director did not really made his point very well. He should have change the story in a way rather than aliens destroying man-kind, but a more touching way, as I went through the internet looking for he quote, sadly I did not find it, people's comments on the movie was not really a good one. To me a touching story would have gotten their attention better and point made. * 

(Coming back to what I'm saying)

The quote was some thing like this
" When humans are on the verge of destruction and all hope is lost, at this point it is when they "evolve" ( evolve was the word he used ) and change their ways. " 
which is so true, if you spend time thinking about it. Maybe evolve was not the best word but I can't seem to find a better one. Hopefully when Master Yoda reads this he can tell me.

Relating to this point, the other day I was talking with my friend.
We were talking about how his parents are still un-believers even though he has prayed and "tried his best" (which can be explained better, sorry) for six years.

At this point 2 thing came into my mind, one was a testimony I heard and another was that quote.

Firstly is the testimony, I heard this testimony from a seminar by our church, it was a school day so not many came only a handful. But thats not the point, the point was when one of the instructors shared his testimony. 

His name was Ken, he was a japanese-american. His father was a non-believer and had told his son that he hates Christians.

Ken, started going to church when he was a teenager. He was a faithful Christian and spent most of his time after school with his youth pastor.

One day, his father found out about him being a Christian and had accepted Christ. His father was furious and he went to Ken with a knife and hold him up by the neck and told him " Renounce what you said about believing in Christ or I shall kill you right now " At this point Ken had to choose between, following his family's beliefs or his own in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank God he chose Jesus, but his father was mad. (I'm not sure why, but I think the father went to sharpened the knife.) During this time, his mother told him to take a few clothes because he didn't have much time. So he got only a bag of clothes ran out of the house and away. He called the only person he knew, which was his youth pastor. His pastor came to pick him up and he lived with him all his life.

Years later, when Ken was an adult. He received a call from his mother. His mother told him that his father had cancer and is dying, and she wants him to visit him and it maybe his last time seeing him. Ken quickly went to the hospital and meet his dad.

At this point I can't remember was happened during the time of him in the hospital and to the time when.... Ken's dad told him how sad and miserable he was and how aweful he felt of what he had done to him .Ken told his dad that the only way to escape the sins that he had done was to accept Christ as his Lord and Saviour. Praise the Lord the father accepted Christ and he lived on, and I think his still living now =P 

My point is that humans change/evolve when they are at the verge of being destroyed, threatened, and has lost all hope. 

As you read thats what I think happened to Ken's father. The quote is very true, if we, the people living on this earth were threatened with tsunamis, earthquakes, our atmosphere dying, etc.. and all our hope is lost, all methods of science can't save us, nothing on earth can do anything to stop it. 

But our only choice is Jesus, it was the same for the people in the movie. The only choice they had left was to change the alien's mind about how they can change.

But changing is hard, luckily, ours is so much easier. It's just believing in Jesus.

As you've read, I think the director if he was a Christian, could have made a better movie and point.

" When humans are on the verge of destruction and all hope is lost, at this point it is when they "evolve" and change their ways. "

HEHEHE
