Good Gospel Coalition Post

This is great...I love the discussion at the 4:20 mark on trends in the church and the love of God!

Great video on how we should approach Scripture with the confidence that it can be, and is meant to be understood. Not only has this played out in Scripture but also how a generation sees morality. Sex, Homosexuality, Divorce, ect... has all been relegated to the realm of, "well Scripture isn't really clear on that". The apparent humility of a generation who says we don't know so we won't judge is nothing more than uncertainty fueled by a desire to be free of the command of God. The Scripture is clear and can be understood and we must proclaim its truths despite the cultural static we will receive for doing so. The gospel is the love of God freeing us from this uncertainty and giving us the ability to know him and to live in the comfort of his will as his obedient children.

The Colonizing of Dreams...

I just heard an NPR talk host say playfully that the entertainment industry has been in the business for years of "colonizing our dreams". He was excited about it but I got a little sick to my stomach because of how true it is. Much of what people believe is due to the voices they are listening to the most. While most of us like to think about what "free thinkers" we are, the reality is that we are as dumb as sheep and basically believe whatever is cool at the moment. It appears that lots of us have had our minds colonized by this industry that is, for the most part, radically against the kingdom of God. So I propose we get some gasoline and a match and burn those colonies down. This will happen in the form of Scripture meditation and a deep desire to know God intimately. These desires will build different colonies that won't have any room for the dreams that are devoid of Christ. Are there any other pyromaniacs out there?

Lily turned 6 this week and we had a party and we ate pizza and we ate cake and we had fun! Now this morning she will hit the road with me to Panama City Florida for a camp at the beach with a couple of amazing churches. It's gonna be fun!

This is worth a look and a listen. If we are believers we have the most important message in the world...speak with conviction!
