The last scene of Devil's Advocate is amazing... on my mind today because I'm planning to dwell a little more on those imperatives Jesus gave us yesterday: Beware! Watch out!
In the movie Al Pacino is the devil and he tempts Keanu Rieves with power and bunch of other stuff...
Keanu resists him... in the final scene a reporter is telling Keanu that he's a hero for resisting... that his story must be told...
Watch the clip. The point is... sometimes we exhaust all our strength resisting sin in one area... only to leave ourselves wide open in another area.
