A La Carte (4/9)

Monday April 9, 2007

Church: Here is a church for men only. I guess the seeker friendly low effort church as you want it trend isn’t dead yet.

Audio: This site has audio recordings corresponding to some of the chapters in Iain Murray’s “A Scottish Christian Heritage.”

Sports: This commercial for the Blue Jays has been banned for being too violent. A watchdog group has attempted to get this one banned as well because Vernon Wells does not look both ways before crossing the road.

RIP: Johnny Hunt, creator of the comic BC, died last week. Check out his Easter comic.

Tim,

His name is actually Johnny HART. Johnny Hunt is the synergistic SBC megacurch pastor.

Ok, I can understand their concerns with the Frank Thomas commercial, but the Vernon Wells one! Come on!

OK, I’m gonna try to close the bold print. :-)

re: Sports — Nothing relevant could be said about how ludicrous this is. So I’ll just point out the Lyle Overbay commercial instead. I think it’s the best of that series — self-deprecation rocks. ;-)

Re: the Luther movie…

it was so like totally AWESOME! i’ve seen it 3 times now - once in the theatre, once for history class (i go 2 a Christian highschool), and once for a church history class (same school). i must admit, i had the same concerns as you when i 1st went 2 see it. - you wonder if Hollywood is going to make Luther look like a ludicrous, stupid creep or something, you know? but it was actually a great movie, and i think that if you are interested in learning more about our Christian heritage, that’s a good place to begin learning about the Protestant Reformation and all that it means to us. can u imagine preying on the people like that and selling indulgences really to raise the money to build St. Peter’s? i mean, really! i agree with Luther - i haven’t found THAT anywhere in my Bible. did the RCC (Roman Catholic Church) have a different Bible from mine?!?!thank you for your article about the movie. it was very helpful and a refreshingly honest, free of bad language blog with a real person’s perspective of life with God in and through it. thank you!
