I have not had a lot of time to write on my blog lately. I have been working hard at Coahulla Creek. There just has not been much free time to pursue reading and listening to sermons and blogging and those sorts of things. It is a different sort of season of life right now, one that involves a little less sleep than I would like, but God is sovereign over all my seasons and all your seasons. I will give him thanks and glory even as I learn what it means to glorify him in this context.
Today I have had a bit of free time, and I stumbled across some resources on Mars Hill's website. How might a Christian think about movies? About stories? About how these relate to God? Questions abound. One of the convictions of the church at Mars Hill is that films and entertainment in general make theological statements. They make claims about reality. As Christians we necessarily live in a culture and it is not an empty question to consider how we are to relate to that culture. To exhaust that question would take a lot of blog entries... but this church believes it is edifying to collectively talk about the meanings of popular movies. It is like training in worldview and the way to think.
I watched True Grit and enjoyed it, and they talk about it. Perhaps you will enjoy or be edified...
