What’s Wrong Here?
I have done several posts on how to properly read and interpret scripture. A friend directed me to this YouTube video, and I had to laugh and cry. I am curious what everyone’s thoughts are on why exactly this guy’s interpretation, though I am sure his intentions are good, is “piss” poor.
How Ironic
This Red vs Blue clip emphasizes how sometimes we use words that carry different meanings to different people. When we discuss heavy topics, we are often doing so with some very loaded terms. What are some terms that you have frequently seen misunderstood?
Oh Lordy, Lordy

This is gonna be the last YouTube video in the series on the general biblical storyline. I realize that I am leaving out the material at the end of the story referring to the Consummation, but that is because I havent read enough on the topic at this point to feel qualified to speak on it. Eventually I do hope to post on that, especially since there are some pretty nutty views on it, but not yet. In the mean time, enjoy this video that is a follow up and clarifier to last week’s. I do present some new information that is gonna be on the less popular side, so that may end up being the focus for our discussion. As always, let me know if there are any suggestions, questions, and/or discrepancies.
The New Testament In Five and Half Minutes
[youtube=http://youtube.com/watch?v=sBHJI3WrftA]
This video is my attempt at capturing the flavor of the New Testament in a short video. I will obviously have to skip over some things, but in many ways this will likely be a controversial video because there are probably many ideas as to what the main point of the New Testament is. Feel free to leave any comments, questions and discrepancies here and we can dialog further on the issue. Also, I go so quickly that I may not have articulated my point as well as if I had, say, 20 minutes. So if any clarification needs to be given, let me know.
The Old Testament in Six Minutes
This is a very brief overview of the rest of the Old Testament. My hope is to capture the big picture of the story, showing how the Jewish people were keyed in to the theme of God at work in the world to restore a relationship that is broken by man. Because I moved so quickly through a huge body of work, I am aware that certain ideas may not have been presented as clearly as they could. If there is anything I can clarify, revise, or restate, let me know.
Church for Men
I wanted to post these two videos as examples and follow up to last week’s post. Enjoy!

While this example is not technically a church (it seems it would qualify as a “parachurch”), it is a great illustration of how to get chain saw-wielding dudes back into the pews. Admittedly, not ALL men will be attracted by this example, and every effort needs to take community context into consideration. Still, this success is sadly the exception rather than the rule.

Babel-On
So this is the long awaited last video on the Jewish prehistory passages in Genesis. The tower of Babel is a story that has received much critique and debate, so hopefully this will help along the discussion. Obviously, all the issues surrounding the text will not be fully addressed in my 5 minute video, so feel free to ask further questions.
