Signs, written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, is a story about the testing of one man’s faith, the sacrifice of a loving mother, and the repercussions that occurred because of an alien invasion. The sacrifice tore the family apart, and the alien invasion in a way “forced” the family back together. The director tries to convey the message that everything happens for a reason, and that nothing is coincidence. Graham and his children, Morgan and Bo have suffered the loss of their mother, Colleen. The death caused Graham’s brother Merrill to come to live with their family on their farm in rural Pennsylvania. Graham was a former reverend who lost his faith shortly after the death of his wife. His relationship with his son Morgan drastically changed, as Morgan blamed Graham for his mother’s death. The relationship Morgan shared with Graham reflected the relationship Graham now shared with God. Blaming God for Colleen’s death, Graham hated God, and Morgan hated Graham. During a conversation with Merrill before the alien attack, Graham mentions the two different groups of people in terms of belief. The first group has the belief that everything has a purpose, and that everything is designed by God. The second group believes that everything is chance or coincidence, there is no God, and that everyone is alone. After the death, Graham fell into the second group, believing in coincidence, and doubting the existence of God. That night, when the realization of the invasion took…

We're told in that same verse to bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. What is admonition? The biblical concept based on the Greek word Paul actually uses refers to imparting understanding and…
