--Wendell Berry, from the poem Look Out
But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not "Yes" and "No." For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by me and Silas and Timothy, was not "Yes" and "No," but in him it has always been "Yes." For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God.
--1 Corinthians 1.18-20
Rob Bell on Resurrection and its life of Yes:
"Hey Rob, can we add a ridiculous amount of silly, glowing digital effects?"
ReplyDelete"Yes."
A LOT of appeal to emotion and hope of something "other than"....
ReplyDeleteI usually like Rob Bell's stuff...
ReplyDeletebut this video is DUMB
"All you have to do is believe!!!"
ReplyDeleteMaybe the effects are silly, but I didn't know about this church. To take part in the work of worldwide justice, the narrative theology - very interesting.This intentions, while successfull megachurch - fascinating...
ReplyDeleteI just puked in my mouth.
ReplyDeleteThe Rob Bell video made me think of an Apple commercial. For Jesus.
ReplyDeleteLoved it.
Rob Bell wants to be a rock star so bad. It's cute, and sometimes profound, and sometimes tedious.
ReplyDeleteThis was an awesome post! I found your site by searching for the lost Gospels of Judas to share with my FB friends. Then as I observed more of your postings I started being more interested. Thanks for your ideas and sharing them on the web. I hope you don't mind me posting your thoughts on Judas on my FB wall in a single post? If you do mind here is the link to my FB page and just privately let me know, thanks. ~ Artist FDM
