Man’s prophetic actions offer lifestyle of fun

Just kidding.

As I type, Tim Hodge is finalizing storyboards for Big Idea’s second water-based feature-length film, The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything.

My take? It’s the only time they have the budget for massive CG water.

[IRAN] Seven years after Issa Motamedi Mojdehi converted from Islam to Christianity, Iranian secret police have jailed him for abandoning Islam, but officially charged him with illegal drug trafficking. Authorities formally charged the 31-year-old Christian with drug trafficking when he was arrested two weeks ago. Secret police officials have told Motamedi Mojdehi that his real offense, said to be recorded in his confidential legal file, is abandoning Islam. Officials told him unless he renounces his Christian faith and returns to Islam, he will remain in jail and possibly face execution. An officer identified only as Mr. Baghani warned the arrested Christian that it might take “several executions” before Iranians understand the consequences of apostasy under Islamic law.

Pray our Omnipotent Father will protect Issa from all harm. Pray he will be kept strong by the precious Word he has hidden in his heart. Pray the mercy of God will keep Issa faithful to His Lord and Savior.

The salvation God offers is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. It is not a result of works — not even the work of praying a little prayer when you were a kid.

Now that I’ve got your attention… [listen]

Just wanted to make a quick post for any “Cornerstoners” reading my blog: Nicole and I are planning to bring the kids down over Labor Day weekend!

Details to come, but needless to say (assuming God drops the desired pieces into place) we’ll be worshipping at Cornerstone’s new building for the first time ever on September 3rd. (They were still meeting at West High School when we moved away.)

So… any chance we could get a Labor Day picnic on the grounds of “the seminary” (as I’ve taken to calling CCK’s estate)?

Knoxville, Tennessee, here we come! …oh yeah, and “Go Big Orange!”
