Revelation and “The End of the World”

Jonathan Storment — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:42:10 +0000

The Book of Revelation seems like the Mayans got to sit on the meeting where the put together the Bible. They just sit there listening and then snuck a copy of something in while everyone was on a coffee break. I imagine that the book of Revelation is going to be talked about a lot this year, so what does it really mean, and what is it really trying to say?

Below the Line

Christians may not always be the one to produce to content, we won't have creative control, or even a say (and granted there are lines that we should not cross). We may be forced into situations that we are not in control of but we can still be Faithful.

Why I Stayed

Christians are in Exile, which means that we are no longer telling the dominant story lines in our culture. And the only places that Christians generally feel comfortable really being in, are the ones where we can still have a semblance of control over the reality around us. But there are a lot of Jesus-followers (especially among younger generations) who are trying to wade into the grey areas of our society and be a blessing in whatever small ways they can.

Good Christian Belles

On July 27th I made the call to Central Casting and found out that they were shooting for the new Annie movie with Christian Bale. I called in, and after a few tries got through and was accepted to play a working class restaurant patron. Only to find out that this wasn't Annie. This is the story of a Preacher who went to Hollywood to be an Extra.

The Party Tithe

There are places in the Bible where it seems like God wants his people to exhorbantly and joyfully blow quite a bit of money celebrating life and freedom and Him. Which sounds strange, but only because we have developed a pretty anemic view of celebration. Because parties were his idea in the first place.
