Two for Two-sday

This one is strictly for S & Gs:

The Gospel Accordion to Mark Driscoll

There is a pandemic devouring the hearts and minds of Christians everywhere: the prosperity gospel. Memorise the happy verses, rub the genie lamp of God, and bust out a 'Cockney walk'.

Good times will surely follow. IT IS YOUR RIGHT!

But what of Christ's suffering and crucifixion, Paul's persecutions, and the death (murders) of almost all of Jesus' disciples? Stick that in your prosperity pipe and smoke it!

In this life we will have trouble. But we are to consider it pure joy!  

Take this picture for example, is Marky D not afflicted with an accordion, and we are taking it as pure joy?

 I kid, I kid.

To hear more about the trials of life and the joy we can have listen here. Or if you are pressed for time here is the fast food version.

Before you go, all this talk of trials and suffering may have gotten you down, so here's a joke:

 What's the difference between a dead accordion player in the road and a dead squirrel in the road?
The squirrel was probably on his way to a gig.

This is About to Get HEAVY

There are guilty pleasures (this blog), then there are GUILTY PLEASURES (Twilight). Seems like you can't look anywhere these days without seeing vampire propaganda. Females of ALL ages have debased themselves with the Twilight 'Saga' (Team Edward...Team Jacob...Team Carlisle?!?!) Turns out Marky D ain't down with this and puts forward a strong case in this little Youtube clip. Vampire culture with it's 'immortality' is a pale (:P) excuse for the Resurrection of Christ.

In remixed news what the WHAT is this?

Keepin' it Holy

As it is the Sabbath (orrrrrr not if you hold to traditional Saturday observances) we decided to keep it holy. I don't know if Mark Driscoll would consider himself a Renaissance Man but after this post he'd be hard pressed to shake the label. After all he seamlessly slid into this improvement alteration of the famed Sistine Chapel depicting God bringing Adam to life. And speaking of life, we here at...this blog...are BIG FANS of life. We consider ourselves PROLIFE. If you want to hear some life changing truth listen up to this sermon on Birth Control. Bonus points if you find the still which inspired this masterpiece.

Avast! We got Ourselves a Castaway

There is a saying 'leave well enough alone' but we just disregarded that as an old wives tale. We are young wives. We decided that in a round about way we are pirating Mark Driscoll images for our creative pleasure. So why not make this next one a little more Rated Arr?! 

We give you Marrk Driscoll:

Mark Driscoll...choir director?

No, he is not directing the elegantly robed choir which doth behind him squat. He's just bringing the redemptive news of JC to the masses at this years Easter service (held in the Seattle Seahawks playground). My question is what happened to the tops of his two index fingers?! To hear the good news Jesus accomplished on the cross Czech it out here: Easter Sunday Sermon Slam

Switzerland

This is the face of a man who I love with the love of Christ. This is his neutral face. His Swiss. He also happens to make some pretty righteous (read with the cultural connotations of a Ninja Turtle) faces. This little blog is a side gig to my main act as wife and mama! I hold Mr Driscoll's teaching in high regard and this blog is not meant to be disrespectful but it came as a result of simple 'math':

I love Jesus. 

I love to listen to Marky D's sermons. 

I love the still shots when I pause the sermon video 'at just the right time'. 

I love to laugh and share.
