How Insecurity "Sidelines" Geeks (In Search Of Truth, Hebrews 11:32, Gideon)

Image
(Hebrews 11:32, ESV) And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets— The names listed in v. 32 seem to represent the totality of those in history who displayed faith, since the list of deeds followed by "who" in verse 33 can probably not all be accounted for in the lives of only those on this short list of names. With this in mind, we're going to take a brief look at each of the people listed here and make a few observations about their faith based on what the Bible says about them. This time we'll focus on Gideon, whose story can be found in Judges 6:11 – 8:32. When the angel of Yahweh first appeared to Gideon and told him that Yahweh was with him, Gideon's first response was not worship or gratitude, but confusion and possibly even doubt. He didn't see any evidence of God being with him and actually felt abandoned by God.(Judges 6:13) When the angel told him to go...

"The Silver Chair" Movie In Production Soon?

Image
Collider.com recently reported that things are moving forward for "The Silver Chair" which will be the first in the "rebooted" Narnia film series, featuring an entirely new production team and cast. It's difficult to speculate what this could mean for the series, but given that the movies have not been runaway hits up to this point it makes sense they would want to try and freshen things up. Here's hoping that doesn't include a stripping away of the best parts! Read the full story at collider.com!

What "The Force Awakens" Was To A Fan (SBU Podcast)

Image
The official podcast of Christian Geek Central!  ( http://www.christiangeekcentral.com ) On the Show Today: A conversation about what The Force Awakens means to a fan of Star Wars, plus some thoughts from scripture about what to do when geeking out leaves us wanting more.

When Geeking Leaves Us Wanting More (In Search Of Truth, Ecclesiastes 3:11)

Image
(Ecclesiastes 3:11, ESV) He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. Ecclesiastes largely deals with the purpose of life and how we ought to view the every day grind of work. I had a great time off for the Christmas break, but unlike previous years I didn't end my time off with renewed energy and desire to get back into creative endeavors and other parts of the ministry I'm doing. I had gotten an almost unprecedented amount of physical rest and more time than usual on vacation to do the things I enjoy. But when it all came to an end I still just wanted more rest. How is that possible? What did I not do enough of? Was my entertainment time not as fun as it should have been? I think a small part of the blame in my case can be placed on the type of games I like to play, which often involve a loot/experience progression loop that never ends and alway...
