Peasant Princess

Just got word that Mars Hill from Seattle has turned on their next sermon series web site. PeasantPr incess.com will be a ten week study of the Song of Solomon (a.k.a. Song of Songs). I have to admit I’m rather excited about the whole thing. The times I have heard Pastor Mark Driscoll deal with the book have been both thoughtful and glorifying to Jesus.

Sex is a subject often avoided by the church - outside of regulation - and a respectful look at one of the scriptures most explicit books through the eyes of solid Christ centered teaching is a long time coming.

The series begins on the 22nd and can be downloaded from the Mark Driscoll podcast or linked from the Peasant Princess site directly.

Angry Church

jbuc — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 20:00:55 +0000

There was an angry man at church this morning. He was mad because our worship service was too “comfortable”. He was so angry he was shaking, his bolero and giant cowboy hat shaking with pure rage. He called us Presbyterians, pretending to be Pentecostals. I was caught off guard because of the focus. As far as I heard, he didn’t say anything about our liturgy, our teaching, or our sacraments (there was no communion this week, or baptisms); he was only concerned with the songs, the seats, and the way our pastor handled himself.

I usually don’t mind disputes over theological differences. I’ve been in my fair share of bible-based debates/arguments but this was different. This man was super angry because we had padded chairs. how odd is that? It reminds me of the times that I turn on TBN only to find the one-or-another televangelist teaching the holy-living of wealth, and healthy comfort. I don’t draw this comparison because they believe the same thing (this angry man and the televangelist) but because his reaction was so obscure to me. I haven’t been able let this go because his concerns aren’t because of the bible, they were because he was uncomfortable.

The only substantial reason I have heard for limiting our worship-music style to a specific genre, is in the effort to show how hugely holy that time is. How hugely holy our worship of Jesus should be. But I’m not convinced that this should limit our instruments, or the types of chairs we can use for an intermediate building.

I guess I’m more confused than bothered. Things like this just stick with you sometimes.

Some of the very finest stop-motion work i have ever seen. Not to mention a whole different approach to graffiti. I’ve seen a 2 minute section of the video before, but the whole thing is just amazing.

Fake TV. . . What?

jbuc — Wed, 21 May 2008 21:14:10 +0000

I just saw a featured product on engadget called “Fake TV”. Apparently this company makes a blue-shaded strobe that mimics the appearance of someone watching television. The thing i don’t understand is, at $50 why wouldn’t you just leave your tv on?
