And that being the case, you can be sure that we are even now living within the End of All Things. Or Kingdom Come, if you prefer. We inaugurated millennialists get to do stuff like that. <abbr><em>The Danes last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/nowheresville/~3/tooRmJU4yIo/2008_11_01_old1.php" rel="nofollow">20081119.ChurchLies</a></abbr></em> Well, Scott, if you want to be technical, I’ve got two things that might encourage you.

I pretty much figured that the day The Dane and Doug W agreed on something would be more or less synchronous with the End of All Things - and yet I look out my window and there's no Jesus coming down from heaven, just a thunderstorm. <abbr><em>Scotts last blog post..<a href="http://scott-schultz.blogspot.com/2009/03/two-quotes-that-struck-me-this-weekend.html" rel="nofollow">Two Quotes That Struck Me This Weekend</a></abbr></em> I’ve gotta say, I’m a little disappointed.

On one hand he thanked God that Christ was being preached, but he also clearly criticized them for their wrong motives. Which means, I believe, that when it comes to looking at the cultural works Christians make, we should be careful not fall into the either/or fallacy. A work, like Fireproof can be both edifying to some people and poorly done/seriously flawed/misguided at the same time. All that to say, I agree with Wilson.
