Exciting Goings On

There are a lot of exciting things going on… here are some I think you might enjoy.

Iron Man releases on DVD & BluRay today. At Target BluRay was sold out by lunch even out here in Tracy (ie: the sticks). If you’ve got a PS3 nab it, if you don’t have a PS3, buy one its a tremendous value if you compare it against the cost of a vanilla BluRay player.

Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle presents its new sermon series: The Peasant Princess: A study of the Song of Songs. If you don’t know what the Song of Songs is, its the book of the Bible that focuses on sex. Ya, you heard me, one entire book of the Bible is all about sex, as in having it and having good sex.

Christianity is about living life the way our Creator intended us to. God put nerve endings in fun places for a reason! Most preachers won’t touch the Song of Songs with a 20 foot pole because they can read it without blushing. Shame on them! It’s a wonderful book, an explicit book, and lays out the great wonders that are intended for a married (maaaaaaarrrrrrrrriiiiiiieeeeeeeeeddddddd!) couple to draw closer to each other than you thought was even possible.

Mark Driscoll has the guts to take on this book. I encourage you, sit down with your wife or husband and watch these sermons together as a couple; Christian or not you’ll learn something and grow closer together and hopefully even have a new perspective on the life that Jesus Christ and God the Father have in store for us. Watch them all here.

The first ever Grand Prix of Singapore was this weekend, and it was the first ever night race for Formula 1. And what a race it was! Absolutely beautiful, the cars look better than ever in those lights. Hit YouTube for all the video you can get if you missed it!

If you missed the news, back in June the next installment of Final Fantasy Tactics was given to the world: FFT A2 for the Nintendo DS. Any FFT die hards (such as Tamarah and myself) will want to pick it up. Of course, a PSP re-release of the origonal FFT came out a while back, we both used it as an excuse to pick up PSP’s because it added multiplayer!! Tamarah and I love goin’ head to head on the plains of Ivalice.

    Which model PS3 did you buy Ben? I was looking at the 80GB model, but it appears that the new ones don’t play PS2 games. Bummer! Maybe it’s time to scour craigslist and eBay to find one of the older consoles.

  2. Mark Driscoll was out in Sydney recently and I did find some value in what he had to say…His views seem wildly different, perhaps a little bit more conservative, than those coming from Rob Bell who is also a Mars Hill preacher…

    @Cha: Please be clear! Mark Driscoll is from Mars Hill Church in Seattle, whereas Rob Bell is from Mars Hill Bible Church in Michigan! Completely different churches that are NOT affiliated. Confusing I know, but there are literally thousands of “Mars Hill” churches non of which are affiliated (its like “Trinity Church” or “Grace Church”, taken from Bible text, but not affiliated together).

    Rob Bell is a post-modern leader of the emergant church movement, which I consider largely heretical. Rob Bell is a smart guy, but he’s misguiding people in a lot of ways.

    Mark Driscoll is reformed exegetical. He’s an extremely conservative Bible preacher who isn’t afraid of pissing people off or talking about contemporary issues like sex.

    @Matty: I think I got the 60GB. Was mid-priced. The PS2 issue concerned me initially, but ultimately when GRID released I was more concerned about it. I still have my PS2 if I need it. I just don’t really play PS2 games as much as I thought.

    I watched Iron Man a few days back and mostly disliked it! I have read and enjoyed Iron Man cartoons in the past but the movie was a complete letdown. Very poor direction.
