Flux: New Heart (Jer. 31:31-34) Chris Altrock – 2/15/15

There was once a couple who had been married for 60 years [David Daniels, Preaching Today]. Throughout their life they had shared everything. They loved each other deeply. They had not kept any secrets from one another, except for a small shoebox that the wife kept in the top shelf of her closet. When they got married, she put the box there and asked her husband never to look inside of it and never to ask questions about its contents. For 60 years the man honored his wife’s request.

Let’s do a quick survey to see what director Robert Zemeckis got right/wrong as he, in 1989, thought about that far future of 2015. Let’s see if what he thought would happen in the future did in happen:Read More »Flux: Field of Dreams (Jer. 32:1-5) Chris Altrock – 2/1/15

Flux: Love on Your Knees (Jer. 29:5-7) Chris Altrock – 1/11/15

Flux_TitleYou may have seen the dueling billboards in Memphis last month.

It started with just one advertisement. That billboard showed a little girl with a smug look on her face. The rest of the billboard was her letter.  It read:

“Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is to skip church. I’m too old for fairy tales.” 

The billboard was sponsored by an atheist organization called American Atheists. And, on Easter weekend, they will be hosting a convention in Memphis.

A Christian group sponsored a competing billboard.  It read:Read More »Flux: Love on Your Knees (Jer. 29:5-7) Chris Altrock – 1/11/15
