Dry Bones Again!!

We are regenerated in the same manner as the dry bones of Ezekiel 37.  Someone calls us to life and we can do nothing to respond.  God breathes life into us and we thus live as an act of His absolute sovereign kindness, generosity and mercy.

The dry bones didn’t choose to live.  Neither do we, the people of God.  But both do as result of the grace of God.          –  Jeff Peterson

 

 

This project was a collaborative effort that spanned countries & time zones with several artists working long

Ezekiel

hours to finally put this piece out. The passage comes from an Old Testament prophecy, taken from Ezekiel 37. Not only is the text extremely descriptive and visual, lending itself to beautiful imagery, but show that where there is death and exile, hope and life can be found.

Dry Bones would not have been possible without the extremely talented artists with loads of patience, who I had the privilege of working with.

We shot the piece entirely on the 7d and post work was done in c4d and Nuke. The project started in April with boards & CG dev, we shot in early June outside of Las Vegas, and spent June through October refining the CG as well as the composite, sound design, and color.

Dry Bones started off as a personal project of mine, but had it not been for Adam Devizia & the A/G picking up DB and funding a significant portion of it, it’s possible the project would have not taken flight.

Jesus is, what is He to you?

Letting go of God

This lady’s theology was way off the mark from early childhood. That is so sad to me. She was led away from He who loves her by bad guidance.

She has a humorous way of telling her story.

Julia’s bio: As a solo performer, comic actor Julia Sweeney explores love, cancer, family and faith. Her latest solo show and CD, Letting Go of God, is about the “quest for something I could really believe in” — which turns out to be no God at all.

A little girl was actually used to “breed” babies for her father to SACRIFICE in his rituals as a satanist high priest!! See how she overcame this!

Okay, so you don’t like Pat Robertson. This story is worth watching. Go 50 seconds in to begin.

Is Evil in the world a problem to you?

Revised:  Have you had someone say to you that the presence of evil in the world keep them from believing in a loving God.  But, I have to ask them if they have really thought it through.  For C. S. Lewis,  the issue of evil initially led him into atheism.  Later,  he began to reason that if there is no God, then there is no such thing as evil either.

The number one lie that Christians are often confronted with is the argument that evil, pain, and suffering prove that there is no God, says author and apologist Mark Mittelberg.

Camus

Providing a rebuttal to the question of why God would allow evil can be challenging, said Mittelberg, who is the author of The Questions Christians Hope No One Will Ask and other books on defending the Christian faith.

The atheist view is that we, our being and our behaviors, are the products of biochemical reactions in our brains–even our morals and  societal mores are the results of biochemical reactions.  All our interactions are simply a result of biochemistry in our brains.
