Crash: A Movie Assessment

Last week I watched the movie 'Crash'. I am still in the process of thinking through this movie. If you are unfamiliar with it, you can get some info here. Basically the movie is constantly working racial stereotypes. One redeeming feature about the movie is that everyone in the movie is racist. But some in the movie are more racist than others. This movie has received many good words, but there are two points that have caught my attention with the movie. First, is that there are really no answers given in the movie. Yes, people change in the movie, but there are ultimately no answers given for how one should live. This then brings me to another thought: can this movie and the worldview with it actually offer any real substantive answers? No it cannot. This, then, reminds me of an article I read some time ago by Doug Jones (Read it here). The sin of racism is a sin against which the Church can speak most powerfully. It is Christ alone who unites people of all races under the banner of a new people. Also, it is Christians alone, who give a reason for the sin of racism. Ask people if racism is wrong, and most will say yes. Then, ask them why it is wrong, and most won't have a clue. Christians can speak to the presupposition of the wrongness of racism. Let us speak!

Bob Kauflin over at worshipmatters, writes on a issue of great importance: singing to Jesus romantic songs of love. Here is his post. I have also attached my paper regarding this as well.  1 Attachments

Well, the Lord smiled upon me on my hunting expedition, and I shot a fifteen point buck. Here is a nice little pic of it.
