Taking the Swagger Out of Christian Cultural Influence The fact that Christians are exiles on the earth (1 Peter 2:11), does not mean that they don’t care what becomes of culture. The present tailspin toward Sodom is not a fall from Christian ownership. And our joy is a brokenhearted joy because human culture –- in every society –- dishonors Christ, glories in its shame, and is bent on self-destruction. www.desiringgod.org /library/fresh_words/2003/082703.html   (828 words)

True Tunes The Best in Music Joy Electric - Drum Machine Faith Ironically, Joy Electric's remarkable sound transcends the Christian label they are not afraid to wear, while many Christian bands try to hide from such a label even if they are on a "Christian Music"-only record label. Joy Electric, whose new album CHRISTIANsongs hit the stores in late April, made their biggest breakthrough with last year's Robot Rock. Joy Electric is very vocal about their faith both recorded and live, though vocal in a dignified way, of course. truetunesatk.com /cgi-bin/news.cgi?id=15474&ct=1000   (720 words)

The Evangelical Ecologist - A Conservative Christian Environmental Blog Put them together, Christian and Ecologist, and you have a potentially deadly combination that could suck the joy right out of a stadium-sized room.

Focus on the Family Magazine: In Lenten Lands In the meantime a friend of Joy’s, an Episcopal priest, introduced her to the works of an English writer who was becoming known as a great explainer of the Christian faith. But perhaps he’s best known for being the son of Joy Davidman, the woman who captured the heart of C.S. Lewis, one of the 20th century’s great Christian writers and apologists. Joy, in the meantime, started to complain of pain in her left hip, and during the ensuing illness Jack took in Joy and her family at his home near Oxford, The Kilns. www.family.org /fofmag/cl/a0023948.cfm   (1901 words)

* Dusted Features [ Wired Wanderings & Reminiscence on the Death of Christian Morgenstern ] * Morgenstern is at the top of his form, pulling out the joy from melancholia, exploring forms of techno, house and electro, and stamping every track with inventive sounds, incorporated & thieved markers of other genres, and a moodiness that speaks to a human element in the machine. Which also means expressing the joy & profound amazement of life through the unfolding rhythms of techno; and this was Morgenstern's greatest gift as a conductor of the electric — turning the dark to the light, and doing so in such a fashion that the mood of the loop struck before the 4/4. Morgenstern made me forget I was listening to techno — it lapsed into an alien music that spoke in tongues. www.dustedmagazine.com /features/124   (1069 words)

Chronicles of Narnia :: Narnia film preserves author's values, says stepson of C.S. Lewis As stepson Douglas Gresham tells it, Lewis was strolling around his English country homestead with his wife, the American writer Joy Davidman Gresham, when an apparent Robin Hood imitator sprang from the bushes brandishing a bow and arrow. A bachelor most of his life, he married Joy Gresham in his late 50s but lost her to cancer four years later. But Lewis didn't regard "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" as a Christian book, though his beliefs influenced the story - as they did everything he wrote. www.religionnewsblog.com /12816   (1389 words)

Critical Summary and Overview - Surprised by Joy Surprised by Joy is essentially an account of those factors that brought Lewis to a mature, adult Christian faith. It is in Surprised by Joy, for example, that one learns the extent to which Lewis is indebted to a romantic view of both life and culture, that is, a mindset in which reason and imagination are held in tension at all times and neither is allowed to dominate or cancel out the other. Lewis views himself in Surprised by Joy as no more or less a sinner than anyone else, but it is chiefly his intellectual journey that needs charting; his is not a grand repentance from fleshly indulgence but a recovery of a child-like wonderment at the world and its mysteries. personal.bgsu.edu /~edwards/surprised.html   (2430 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Surprised by Joy (The C.S. Lewis Signature Classics): Books Lewis was for many years an atheist, and in Surprised by Joy he vividly describes the spiritual quest which eventually convinced him of the truth and reality of the Christian faith. JOY is the Holy Spirit coming to you at a most unexpected time. When I saw the title, I thought the book must have been about how he and Joy met each other and that since he was an older man when he married, he was "surprised by Joy." Funny thought, but not the case. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/0006280838   (980 words)

Amardeep Singh: Fairy Tales and the Religious Imagination: Adam Gopnik on C.S. Lewis The irrational images—the street lamp in the snow and the silver chair and the speaking horse—are as much an escape for the Christian imagination as for the rationalist, and we sense a deeper joy in Lewis’s prose as it escapes from the demands of Christian belief into the darker realm of magic. In Surprised by Joy, one sees a writer whose imaginative life is apparently animated primarily by fairy tales, but who turns to religion as a way to amplify and order the joy his imaginative worlds give him. I read Surprised by Joy as a grad student, and a grad student I'm working with now recently gave me The Abolition of Man. www.lehigh.edu /~amsp/2005/11/fairy-tales-and-religious-imagination.html   (1405 words)

Rachel Scott (A Christian Martyr) - Christian Soldier) Rachel Joy Scott of Littleton, Colorado, penned these words in her diary exactly one year to the day before her death: "It is like I have a heavy heart and this burden upon my back... It was Rachel Scott's brother who told the story about Cassie Bernall, but then later it was recanted, and an article was published in Colorado newspapers, burried somewhere on the back pages about it. The truth is: the story had already flashed around the world and was picked up and believed and embellished upon by the religious community, so in reality, no one really knows WHO said what exactly, since there were several conflicting stories. www.myusm.com /usm432720.html   (775 words)

Joy - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia Christian joy is no mere gaiety that knows no gloom, but is the result of the triumph of faith over adverse and trying circumstances, which, instead of hindering, actually enhance it (Acts 5:41; Romans 5:3; James 1:2,12; 5:11; 1 Peter 4:13; compare Matthew 5:11,12). Besides joy in a general sense, as the response of the mind to any pleasurable event or state (1 Kings 1:40; Esther 8:17, etc.), joy as a religious emotion is very frequently referred to in the Old Testament. Paul speaks of joy as one of the fruits of the spirit (Galatians 5:22) and of "joy in the Holy Spirit" as an essential mark of the kingdom of God (Romans 14:17). www.searchgodsword.org /enc/isb/view.cgi?number=T5174   (1205 words)

Christian Gellert's Last Christmas It was Christian Furchtegott Gellert, the Poet of Fables, Hymns, and Lays, who was just leaving his college. It was a simple burgher, it was not Gellert; and in the deep breath which Christopher drew lay a double signification: on the one hand, was joy that Gellert was not dead; on the other, a still small voice whispered to him that he had now really promised to give him the wood: ah! Gellert was himself the best example of pure moral teaching; and the best which a teacher can give his pupils is faith in the victorious might, and the stability of the eternal moral laws. www.harvestfields.netfirms.com /horror/006/076.htm   (477 words)

Commentary Magazine - How Democratic Is Christian Democracy? THE appearance of a full-scale, comparative study of Christian Democratic movements in Western Europe from the early 19th century to the present should be an occasion for joy, not only... ...What Christian Democrats maintain is that their Christianity gives them an extra assurance, a certainty of touch, and a capacity for recognising and recovering from their mistakes which enables them to grasp and solve the problems of life more completely and competently than if they relied on human reason alone... ...Christian Democrats quite naturally feel called upon to make moral judgments in nearly every sphere of life-but since the criterion of these judgments is religious rather than political, a merely opportunist selection of political means to moral ends may at the same time appear perfectly permissible... www.commentarymagazine.com /Summaries/V25I5P17-1.htm   (3540 words)

henry II The Christian task in the world includes that of calling to account the cultural milieu in view of God's revealed Word, and that of exhibiting the New Society's regenerate community life reflecting the wisdom, righteousness, and joy of serving the one true God. V Before Christians can effectively shoulder their cultural task in the world at large it is imperative for the church as the new society of the redeemed--the cadre of the redemptively committed--to find for herself the community worldstyle and lifestyle that marks believers off from the world. Christianity is, in fact, sometimes thought of only as a counter cultural force, a premise encouraged by the tawdry manifestations that the secular world considers cultural. www.iclnet.org /pub/facdialogue/8/henry   (3130 words)

Brothers, Consider Christian Hedonism! Christian hedonism aims to replace a Kantian morality with a biblical one.

By Christian hedonism, I do not mean that our happiness is the highest good. www.desiringgod.org /library/topics/leadership/brothers_hedonism.html   (1608 words)
