This is an open-comment theology blog where I will post various theological musings, mostly in sermon or essay form, for others to read and comment on. If what I say here interests you, you may want to check out some of my books. Feel free to criticize, to critique, to comment, but keep comments to the point and respectful. Many of these posts have been published elsewhere, but I wanted them collected and made available to a wider audience.

Movies, Messages & Literature
Movies are the literature of our time: love it, hate it, it is the truth. Christians who cut themselves off completely from popular culture rob themselves of the language of our day. Films form a kind of vocabulary for people. If you are lacking in it, you are lacking in the ability to spread the gospel. Being familiar with pop culture, and finding ways to reach people on a spiritual level through films like MAN OF STEEL or TOY STORY, is as necessary today as translation of the Bible into the vernacular was during the Reformation.
