The Dark Knight (yet again)

I believe a trip to the IMAX is in order?

Wall - E

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

I just took Hannah to see this this afternoon.

A tremendous piece of art, & a really entertaining movie.

Virtually everything you’ve read about it (positive - a triumph as a film; negative - heavy-handed environmentalism).

A must-see in my opinion…

Wall E

Blessed are the meek…

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Some thoughts after this morning’s service at Blackhawk Ministries:

THE RENEWAL of the earth begins at Golgotha, where the meek One died, and from thence it will spread. When the kingdom finally comes, the meek shall possess the earth.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

THE SCRIPTURES make much of meekness … and so it is the more appalling that meekness does not characterize more of us who claim to be Christians. Both at the personal level, where we are too often concerned with justifying ourselves rather than with edifying our brother, and at the corporate level, where we are more successful at organizing rallies, institutions, and pressure groups than at extending the kingdom of God, meekness has not been the mark of most Christians for a long time.
D. A. Carson, The Sermon on the Mount
