Thinking Out Loud...

1) Braveheart, The Matrix, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade are currently rotating through my favorite movies of all time.
2) Antje Duvekot's "Merry-Go-Round", Ben's Brother's "Stuttering", and Yael Naim's "New Soul" are my top songs right now.
3) I strongly suggest reading "The Challenge of Jesus" by N.T. Wright and "The Shaping of Things to Come" by Frost and Hirsch.
4) I am sad that "The Class" and "Raines" have gone off the air, but I am slightly satisfied by "LOST", "Pushing Daises", and "Journeyman."

I wish we could change our view of the Kingdom of God being in this "I'll Fly Away" model of heaven to the view of the kingdom being "on earth as it is in heaven." Then, heaven is actually a more full expression of what we are trying (imperfectly) to accomplish here and now. The way I see it currently, we are not trying to accomplish anything here and now, so we are trying to give people tickets to heaven. But, what if Christians did not give tickets to heaven... what if we gave snapshots of heaven?
