So my topic that I was stressing so much over is..... How Christian messages in non specifically Christian entertainment is perceived. I guess I'm thinking along the lines of how Owl City isn't specifically Christian but many of his lyrics mention faith and even Meteor Shower is straight from verse. Or (and I'm using last semester's bible class on this) how art isn't really art for Christians anymore. "Our" art is pastel pictures of Jesus and lambs, when there are GREAT artists out there displaying Biblical themes that aren't directly... Biblical.
So that could get interesting. What are your thoughts on that?
I just love knowing certain people's parents still love me. And I them and always will. I'm tired of always thinking about it. I know this happened for a reason so why can't I just get over it?
Redoing the room this weekend. I'm pretty excited because I really dislike top bunk. I cannot WAIT to be in the apartments next year!!!
Perth Key Verse:
If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. 3Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.- Philippians 2:1-4
2 remarks:
I think that Christian messages from "non-specifically Christian" artists are, in some ways, better methods of reaching non-believers, who would probably not listen to (or view the works of) "specifically Christian" artists. It also kind of reminds me of parables, especially in works of art with messages that run deeper that the obvious Christian symbols.
I didn't like the top bunk either, which is why I'm glad I live in the bigger New Johnson rooms.
Good verse by the way. :)
