Movie quotes...

I know it's a weak basis on which to have as a foundation for any doctrinal argument, but I do love movie quotes nonetheless:

God: "Parting a soup is not a miracle, Bruce. It's a magic trick. A single mom who's working two jobs, and still finds time to take her son to soccer practice, that's a miracle. A teenager who says "no" to drugs and "yes" to an education, that's a miracle. People want me to do everything for them. What they don't realize is *they* have the power. You want to see a miracle, son? Be the miracle."
- Bruce Almighty

I acknowledge that there's only so much we can do, in our fallen, humanistic state, and that anything that we can do, is only through the unfathomable grace of God; but let's balance that argument also, with what we're doing with God's grace, if anything at all;

Is it a talent we bury in the ground? Or are we out there, investing in the world not what we feel we have earned, but the everything, that grace, God has given us?
