constantine


i watched the movie “constantine” today and i’m still not sure how i feel about it. i definitely liked some of it but i’m not sure that i loved the movie. seemed a bit slow at times.

SIDE NOTE – i found a group on the net called “improv everywhere” today. you’ve got to see what they did with a mcdonald’s restaurant bathroom. i think it’s pretty funny. CLICK HERE to read the story.

landover baptist church

i can’t believe it has taken me so long to realize that landover baptist church had a youth ministry. i’ve followed landover with interest for years. i mean what could be better than a church with a tag line that says “the largest assembly of worthwhile people to ever exist. unsaved are NOT welcomed.” does it get any better than that? yet i’ve never imagined that they would have a youth ministry. i lucked into their youth ministry today while reading about how “JESUS didn’t have long hair.” what i read was amazing. it’s youth ministry at it’s finest. 🙂

every so often i try to go visit another church’s youth ministry and learn from what they are doing (or not doing). what better example could there be than the youth ministry at landover? i’ve got to learn from them. hopefully, with lots of work i could lead a youth ministry as good as theirs. 🙂

constantine


i just got back from watching the movie “constantine” and i’m still not sure how i feel about it. the movie is blatantly spiritual without preaching a specific agenda. it is nice to see faith claims being treated seriously. constantine discusses CHRISTian theology on forgiveness and the battle between good and evil and it does it in such a way that good discussions will come from the movie. i love the fact that hollywood has moved beyond making fun of spirituality. constantine is just the latest example of hollywood being open to spirituality. they approach the theme of constantine with an appropriate sense of respect and it shows within it’s content. there was some serious depth within some of the movie’s dialogue. the conversations between constantine and gabriel are great.

what i’m not sure of it how good the movie was. i liked it because i was excited about the extreme spiritual nature of the movie but i’m not sure i would have liked the movie if the spiritual content had not been there. sometimes the movie felt a little slow. i wish the whole thing had been a little shorter.
