We saw the new Robert Duvall movie, “Get Low”.  I won’t call it a Christian movie per se.  There is no scene of salvation.  But, it is a good example of how we will isolate ourselves out of pride and shame. We want to lock ourselves into a prison, hoping that if we “do enough time,” someone will say that we’ve paid our debt.

The truth is that no punishment we mete out for ourselves is enough.  The movie mentions that, but it doesn’t hit the audience over the head with a message.  It provides enough framework to make the viewer think about their own sins, and hopefully will provide launching pads for discussion about God’s forgiveness with others.
