Brave because it's an American made, Christian movie put forth when references of 'God' are actually disappearing from American way of life-the family's plaque at Purdue University, the 'prayers' at Arlington, our President's version of the Gettysburg Address (to name a few).X is the sixth studio album by American singer Chris Brown. (Twin Towers, Pentagon, Pennsylvania field), and other countries, it strikes me that this is also a brave Hollywood movie. Today, as Christians live in danger all around the world-in the Middle East, Turkey, Indonesia, Africa, London, Spain, the U.S. The feeling that I can do better swept over me throughout this film. Forgiveness, sharing, turning the other cheek, are some of life's lessons that we may tend to 'forget' about as we go along our busy, hectic, and sometimes difficult lives. Yes, it educates us on the beginnings of Christianity and shows us what faith in God can look like, but it also provides a scaffold for human beings wanting to lead a purposeful life and calls on us to love and help each other. Son of God is a beautiful movie, and a fabulous way to spend a rainy afternoon! The illustrative messages in Mark Burnett's artfully done movie are many.
