Playoff Fever

I can't wait for the baseball playoffs to start tomorrow and to watch the Angels take on and rock the Red Sox. If you want to join me in watching the Angels and Dodgers come over to my apartment at 3:30pm tomorrow and we will be watching some baseball!!!

Fireproof

Well, after finishing the Truth Project and getting going in College Ministry for the year I have gotten busy and neglected my blog, but I did read a review and watch the trailer of an intriguing movie coming out today, Fireproof. Check out the trailer...



The movie stars Kirk Cameron and looks at the life of a fireman that is a hero to everyone around, but his wife. He and his wife are ready to separate until his dad challenges him to hold on for 40 days with a different task to do each day.

I am curious to see what the response to this movie will be. It was made by the same church and creators as Facing the Giants and I think I will try to see it this weekend. After working the SLO Chamber of Commerce breakfast this week and hearing their endorsement for voting NO on Proposition 8 I am curious as to what people will say about a movie encouraging husbands and wives to stick together fight through struggles and missed expectations to continue to love each other.

Here's a review put on by Boundless, Fireproof Review.

Labor: Created to Create

What is work? "A bummer," "what I have to do for money," or "the only way to get to Friday?" Our culture tends to view work very negatively and even Christians reference the fall to support the view that labor is a curse. Is that the view of work that we should have? Come to the Truth Project tonight @ 7pm at my apartment to take a look at God's perspective on the sphere of labor.



This is the second to last tour of the Truth Project so come this week and next to finish out the 12 tour trip of the Christian worldview.

See you Tonight!

How did We Get Here?

Just last week in our Truth Project discussion we talked about the power of the state and what happens if the state gets out of control. In our tour we saw that Hitler, Mao Tse-Tung, Stalin and others killed millions of people in their countries in the 20th century. How did this happen? Ravi Zacharias says that it happened as a result of Nietzsche's philosophy that God is dead.

Truth Observed

This summer I have been leading a group through the Truth Project and it truly has been fun, while also challenging me and our whole group of how we view the state, family, marriage, God, philosophy, and so much more.

As I have led the group I have frequently turned to Del Tackett's blog, (the professor that teaches the classes in the DVD). When I went to Colorado in June to visit Denver Seminary I was able to run by Focus on the Family Institute (a great leadership training program I would encourage anyone under the age of 26 to check out) where I first took Del's class and catch the end of his last class. It was just like I was back into the mode I was in when I heard his introductory lecture in Fall 05, but I knew things were different now.

After he finished his lecture he told me that he would be going on a rafting trip through the Grand Canyon beginning the Monday following with top evolutionary scholars, creation scholars, and scientists to see if the Grand Canyon gave evidence for God. I was excited first that he was rafting, but even more when I thought about it of the impact of his trip. Check out his blog posts over the last couple months to see what he saw and hear his thought from being on the river...

Rafting gives me another sense of the glory and power of God's creation.

Here are a few pics from my trip in late July.

Flying Down



It's a beautiful thing to see God's glory and beauty in a whole new way.
