Breaking the Waves - Have You Seen It?
by Preston inbreaking the waves is a beautiful love story/spiritual film about a spiritually devout woman who belongs to a strict religious sect that allows people to comment (although nor freely), where marrying outside of your religion is a problem, and people who committ sins are publicly humiliated and condemned at their funeral (hmmmmm...does all of this sound familiar).
it is a 2hr 20min movie, but for my money it is one of the best films ever made and i want everybody on the board to see it.
it addresses problems that a group of church elders could never comprehend and it refers to the ambiguities of christian faith.

discussing james 3:17 the book says:.
the wisdom from above makes a person reasonable, yielding, moderate or forbearing, not fanatical in his zeal .
