"Sentimentality plays a central role in modern culture - it is the mask with which fantasy conceals its cynical self-regard.Sentimental feeling is easy to confuse with the real thing, for, on the surface at least, they have the same object. The sentimental love of Judy and the real love of Judy are both directed towards Judy, and involve tender thoughts of which she is the subject. But this

"But when we use God-talk to paper over the truth, we risk taking the name of God in vain. Scripture is clear that God does not appreciate it when we misuse his holy name for our purposes. Hiding behind a veneer of God-talk that everyone knows is just a way of obscuring painful realities invites cynicism about all our words about God."http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2006/009/21.114.htmlYou

Under heaven nothing is more soft and yielding than water. Yet for attacking the solid and strong, nothing is better; It has no equal. The weak can overcome the strong; The supple can overcome the stiff. Under heaven everyone knows this, Yet no one puts it into practice. Therefore the sage says: He who takes upon himself the humiliation of the people is fit to rule them.He who takes upon himself

I call on the LORD in my distress,and he answers me.Save me, O LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful toungues.What will he do to you,and what more besides, O deceitful tongue?He will punish you with a warrior's sharp arrows,with burning coals of the broom tree.Woe to me that I dwell in Meschech,that I live among the tends of Kedar!Too long have I lived among those who hate peace.I am a man of

And when all these things had happened to him, Job's Christian friends came by to comfort him.The first said, "I'll be praying for you. Seeya." *smile and a wave*The second said, "You need to stop thinking negative thoughts and start thinking positive thoughts and God will bless you more."Job responded, "I was thinking..."But he was cut off when the third said, "You're not very much fun to be

Philippians 1:9-11 (Amplified Bible) 9And this I pray: that your love may abound yet more and more and extend to its fullest development in knowledge and all keen insight [that your love may display itself in greater depth of acquaintance and more comprehensive discernment], 10So that you may surely learn to sense what is vital, and approve and prize what is excellent and of real value [

Recently we have had a mini controversy about election campaigns and satire/free speech/jackassery. I'm going to take this in a slightly different direction that you have probably seen so far. What really bothers me about this is not so much the idea of satire in campaigns (which can be in good humor and can be used to enlighten) as that most of what is trying to be justified as "satire" is

It's one of those days again. I hate these days and I'm having more than a few lately. I haven't been sleeping well the past few nights and it makes me feel very fragile - my bones feel brittle, my concentration is spastic at best, my self-control is riding away on a unicycle for some reason, I've been tripping and dropping things all morning, and I feel like a neurotic spaz.

from the Relevant magazine News Slices section:There is an amazing story in GQ magazine about a writer's experience at Creation East, the Christian music festival. It doesn't go the direction you'd expect. Very thought-provoking ...An engrossing read, it is not for the faint of heart.

We hold contempt and disdain for those who attempt to steal part of the glory of something popular by creating a cheap knockoff. I think the first things my friends will think of are ccm, christian t-shirts (our god is just like a generic version of the mammoncorp you serve... and may he be glorified in this copyright infringement), and maybe reality tv (you get no caps from me, not that kind

So often, as highlighted by the homosexual marriage discussion in State and Local, we are fighting for right but without understanding why. And it shows. I think this is scary - we and our people look like the religious fanatics both we and the world are scared of. When and why did generations fail to pass on the essentials of life? How can we ensure we don't fail in the same way (especially when

Acutally, he tied with Ghandi, so we defered to alphabetical order. I honestly didn't bother to see who the song was written about (I have some guesses); but anyone who puts these two in a

I see her there, a vision, dancing in in a field blanketed with red flowers. I run to her, and we dance together for hours... We continue dancing among the flowers until one of her lies explodes underneath my feet, removing my legs at the knees. I lie here alone, forever in the field, soothed only by the puddle of my blood cooling underneath me. Eventually, I gather enough strength to lift my

If you think politics is about compromise, you are playing by the wrong rules. "Compromise!" is the cry of the defeated. As long as we hold up compromises as trophies we are playing to lose. Can truth and justice be compromised and yet remain truth and justice?
