…ie, which tends to claim one thing via dialogue and then show us something completely different. For example, the characters repeatedly tell us that they are destined to do something special. Most of the movie follows one of them, Spencer Stone, as he seeks to achieve his destiny. He gets in shape via a Rocky-esque training montage, joins the Marines, learns to be a military paramedic, and then does his something-special on the French train. What…

How Can We Become Biblically Literate?

by Jay Shim
…app. However, ironically enough, biblical understanding and its use has become shallower and less serious as biblical access has become more convenient and easy. We are definitely living in a culture that needs to hear God’s warning: “famine of hearing the words of the Lord” is a form of divine judgment (Amos 8:11–12). Biblical literacy – knowing the basics of the Bible – can either be an issue of how much one knows about the Bible or how well an…

But he also looks like a cross between Fabio, a bull elk, the faun from Pan’s Labyrinth, and Chewbacca. His CGI mask never quite coordinates with Watson’s loving glances. She’s too human for him. He’s too elk-ish for her. But oh, that castle. Despite the clas…

As Amy and I watch each of the sanctuary’s rhinos eating their breakfast and interacting with the rangers who protect them and study them each day, I think about what I told my six classmates during that presentation: We don’t know much about them.

Merritt argues that if we stop speaking God, the language of faith (what he calls “sacred words”) will follow the course of other languages that are no longer spoken—that is it will become a “dead” language alongside ancient Hittite (among others).

So here I am, remembering my slavery as a confession for you. It is uncomfortable to admit. It is an act of vulnerability. In my social justice circles, it looks dirty and embarrassing and unintelligent. But if I truly care about justice, freedom, and loving my neighbor, I must start with mysel…
