got my work cut out for me here.
The first time I heard of this movie I thought it was about John Newton, the man who wrote Amazing Grace. It is, however, the story of William Wilberforce, Newton's student, who fought for the abolition of the slave trade in England.
I'm feeling really tired right now, so it'll have to be a little short tonight.
This film shows how devoted we need to be to our beliefs. Wilberforce knows that all men are created equal, and he fights for this until it eventually passes in parliament.
God's love stretches to everyone, no matter their anything. The Bible says that in the eyes of God there is no Jew nor Gentile, and on and on and on. This is also a command as to how we must love one another. God loves everyone equally and he calls us to love everyone equally as well.
Rrrrreally tired right now... Next week: American Gangster
