Shameless plugs, Huckabees and Marriage.

Well today we'll have a bit shorter of a post, nothing too incredibly burning on my heart today :).
So first of all, every one of you should go out and get a copy of "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers... it's a daily devotional, a page or less each day. But it's the most anointed devotion I've ever read, and it's ridiculously challenging and amazing. If you're up for it.
Oh Oh and download E-Sword (Link is on the left), best free bible program ever. Tons of versions, tons of commentaries, dictionaries, graphics, plus a HUGE amount of extra resources, enough to keep you reading and studying for, well, several years, if you don't go into any detail :). VERY Solid program.
And read "Pursuit of God" by A.W. Tozer. Actually anything by him. And by Oswald Chambers.

Well that's about enough of that.

So I watched "I Heart Huckabees" for the first time yesterday. Quite an interesting but very well made movie. I enjoyed it. And other than one... sort of... sex scene (you don't actually see any nudity, but it's still awkward... close your eyes) and some language (which i must say does kinda fit the movie... in a weird way) it's definately a recommender. It's basically all about existentialism and nihlism, but not really promoting it... in the end it kinda shows that neither are good, leaving the door open for Jesus (though I doubt that was their intention). Anyway. yeeeah.

Oh and I was reading and thinking a bit about marriage this morning during "God Time" and realized that its not going to be all that easy to be married and a serious disciple... I guess the key is to find a wife with the same views... so we can both hate each other for the sake of Jesus (not literally, don't worry, I'm not a nut... but compared to our love for Jesus :). Read Luke 14:26 and on). But hey. The point of life is not to be completely devoted to your wife (or husband). The point of life is to be completely devoted to Jesus, and if you have a wife that shares that with you then all the power to you.

I suppose it's just wise to heed Paul's warning in 1 Cor 7 and make sure that if you get married it won't make life harder for you trying to follow Jesus. Find a spouse with the same burning passion for Jesus and the same calling, and make sure you stay grounded in Jesus in all you do. Easier said than done I would suppose, I've never been married... but hey, it sounds nice in theory. Better in my eyes than not getting married at all like Paul suggests (though needless to say that would make following Jesus easier... But where's the fun in that?)

Well I suppose that's all for now. Later y'all.
