Messes of Ben: Yelling at a Person Under a Bus, ‘Watch Out! You’re About to Get Hit By a Bus!’
http://messesofben.blogspot.com/2010/10/yelling-at-person-under-bus-watch-out.html
How G-d rules the world! Yelling at a Person Under a Bus, ‘Watch Out! You’re About to Get Hit By a Bus! The title of this sermon is Yelling at a Person Under a Bus, ‘Watch Out! You’re About to Get Hit By a Bus! It concerns the 14. Chapter of the Book of Jeremiah which might very well be one of the most important books for our time. Despite its importance, I believe a great deal of confusion surrounds our reading of Jeremiah. And there are consequences for causing divine damage. 8217;s everyman alter ego.

Messes of Ben: My First Crack At Relating "Hook" to Important Things
http://messesofben.blogspot.com/2010/09/my-first-crack-at-relating-hook-to.html
How G-d rules the world! My First Crack At Relating "Hook" to Important Things. Back in 1991, Steven Spielberg directed a film titled Hook. Starring Robin Williams, Julia Roberts, Maggie Smith, and the incomparable Dustin Hoffman as Captain Jas. Hook. John Williams produced the soundtrack (to which I am currently listening). Hook. Provides an intriguing twist on an extremely original tale, and I submit that the title is purposefully misleading. The first line of J.M. Barrie's book, Peter Pan. These strug...

http://messesofben.blogspot.com/2010/11/mega-church-pastors-crooks-and-their.html
How G-d rules the world! Mega-church Pastors: Crooks and Their Books. I am like a barista who cannot drink another latte. I feel like an author who cannot write because she no longer likes words. I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Why do I feel like this? Of what am I sick and tired? My furious anger against these crooks recently rekindled while browsing at one of my housemate's books titled Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless G-d. Name Chris Tomlin, the well-known worship artist, got a credit unde...

How G-d rules the world! Mennonites, Pacifism, and Patriarchy. Reason why I believe people need to be in Church) is the onus of responsibility for those within the Church. Thus, for example, whether we like it or not, the Catholic priest scandal effects us, and we are responsible for them. I am responsible for the Mennonite Church. This is the problem I see. Distinctive Mennonite and Christian practice. Why has pacifism become the defining belief of Mennonites? Links to this post. By convincing people to...

How G-d rules the world! Sermon on Luke 12.49-13.5: Get Rid of Your Stuff! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Sermon on Luke 12.49-13.5: Get Rid of Your Stuff! Dr Richard Beck's Mess. If Jesus' crucifixion is a way of life, why would we aspire to become people who hold the power to crucify? If Jesus' death and resurrection is the climactic moment in G-d's soteriological plan, why would we vote to give someone the power to kill on our behalf? I am a Christian Anarchist.

Messes of Ben: Dreamgirls and the Subjection of People Through Strip Clubs Revised and Expanded
http://messesofben.blogspot.com/2010/11/dreamgirls-and-subjection-of-people.html
How G-d rules the world! Dreamgirls and the Subjection of People Through Strip Clubs Revised and Expanded. Since I have never been to “Dreamgirls” or any strip club for that matter, I will simply launch my critique from the wording on the signs. Each sign reads with this:. 8220;DREAMGIRLS: Seattle’s Newest Gentleman’s Club”. Let us break down this sign bit by bit. What does it promise? This is where the women come in. A girl is young; she is innocent; and she is a female. Who is a man? At a fundamental l...

How G-d rules the world! Two Part Sermon Series on Revelation: On the Side of the Lamb Part 2. For us, the most common form of media comes in movies. I brainstormed which movies best reflect Revelation's story-telling style. There are many candidates: The Matrix. Dawn of the Dead. Or the newly released Avatar. However, none seemed quite so fitting as Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. I do not know if you have seen Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove. And to the Lamb.
