It is incredibly loud and abrasive. Both of which do not justify labeling it unavoidably satanic. If people who listen to loud music can't be saved by God, then God is weak. I refuse to believe it.
(1 Peter 4: 7-11): 7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. 8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Show…"
The definition is difficult because we have hard bought freedom from the Son of Man.
As man we naturally drift towards definite rules, for what reason I don't know. It is has virtually destroyed every aspect of beauty on this planet, we…"
Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)
To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm Scott A. Shuford, one of the new Board members. I also used to work for Intense Records. Have you heard Mortification & Tourniquet?
I wanted to stop in and say thanks for being involved with CCAS! If you have any input or would like to be involved with anything in particular, please let me and Eric Jansen (Membership Coordinator for CCAS) know by contacting us both through the site. We'll be making several announcements in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. To see a bit more about me, check out my profile here on the site. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.
Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
Yeah I'm a Rabbi and have been one for 7 yrs.
We have a small fellowship that meets monthly and I have spoken in alot of churches of different denom. and the local cabel tv program. I'm a teacher more than a preacher. That opens alot of doors and ears. and I stick to the bible not theology.
I never answered your question. Sorry. I'm only working with Gene through my editor at the moment. But I did get to meet him at SDCC this year and he was really a nice guy and even held up the line to talk with me. I used the "get in line and be humble about it like every other fan" approach instead of the "flaunt the fact that you're the writer and try to avoid the line" approach. And true to scripture, I was moved up to the head of the table to the chair of honor. Cool watching scripture play out in the real world, huh?
As for theology and philosophy, did you read my "Philosophical Gumbo a la Sean" blog post yet? It's the one in which I try to explain how I can be postmodern, existentialist, and Christian all at the same time. Big fun being me, I tell ya.
I'm a big fan of theology too. The more I learn, the more I see that our Constintinian model for "doing" church just doesn't hold up well in light of Scripture. Thankfully, I'm in a church that has more interest in being salt and light in culture than creating a new Christian culture or taking over culture at large. Of course that's a soapbox that's better discussed elsewhere. But I did want to say hello.
