So, a friend showed me these this evening. Really funny. Couldn’t pass up sharing…
Apparently, the story is, that these guys travel around the country making REAL commercials to help out local businesses. They select a business that gets nominated and then go and shoot these ridiculously funny commercials. And yes, the goal is to be funny… and I think they do it well! You can check out there website here.
I’ve had interesting experiences with the prosperity gospel. I’ve met some very generous people who loved Jesus more than anything and also believed in the prosperity message of the Bible. My concern comes from a lot of the radical prosperity teachings that occur. The prosperity gospel has a pretty good following in the ATL and I met a lot of people that attended those kinds of church. I was always frustrated, angry, and grieved after meeting with most of those people though. There emphasis was clearly on money and not Jesus. They measured there worth in dollars and cents and not an identity in Christ. Many of them, then, based how much God loved them on how much He blessed them. If they were having hard times, they must be living in sin, if it was good times, they must be doing well. Many of these people also weren’t dealing with mindsets. Still living in poverty and expecting God to bless them with wealth while not growing in principles of stewardship, etc…
I’ve then watched as the pastors of these congregations take up lofty offerings to accomplish lofty goals from their impoverished congregations while if they would just sell 1 of there 5+ $100,000+ automobiles could accomplish these goals immediately. It just seems to me like there’s a huge disparity between these teachings and the way that Jesus lived here on the earth.
Anyway, take a gander at these videos below and then let me hear your thoughts…
P.S. – more blogs to come. We haven’t had internet for a bit and I’ve had a lot swirling around in my head as well as fun NYC experiences that we’ve had so far. BUT, yesterday, we finally got internet, so, it’s good to be back in the real virtual world!
#1 – Where do I get one of these???
#2 – Strike that, I would use it everywhere and probably end up in jail for blowing over people’s stuff…
#3 – But, no, seriously, where do I get one of these???
Pulled this off Lanny Donoho’s blog. Seriously Amazing!
Mark Driscoll cracks me up sometimes. I enjoyed this interview. Enjoy.
Ok, so, this 14 year old kid set the world record in Guitar Hero. Un-freaking-believable. Check out the video below. It’s 7 minutes long and never seems to stop amazing me…
I heard about Conan talking about this on his show and thought it was stinkin’ hilarious.
What do you think? Does Rod Blagojevich look like a lego man???
Eventually I’m going to find the time to sit down and start blogging again. You think the holidays will give you a break and then you find yourself busier than ever.
Anyway, being that it’s Christmas Eve and all, it’s time for my annual Christmas post. I hope this brings you as much Christmas cheer as it has me.
What’s crazy is that I played this for a friend a year or two ago and he actually knew the guy that had the studio this was recorded in. Apparently this guy came in and paid for studio time and recorded this in all seriousness. Got his recording and left.
Thank you sir for paying to record this. Your money was well spent!
Do with this what you will…
