Music Monday: Death Be Not Proud

At the end of this week I’m going to be in Los Angeles for the funeral of my friend Thomas, who died in a motorbike accident last Tuesday. It seems fitting, therefore, that today’s Music Monday song should come from the title track of Audrey Assad’s latest album, “Death, be not proud”:

Death, be not proud, though the whole world fear you:
Mighty and dreadful you may seem,
But death, be not proud, for your pride has failed you.
You will not kill me.

Though you may dwell in plague and poison,
You’re a slave to fate and desperate men,
So death, if your sleep be the gates to Heaven, why your confidence?

When you will be no more, you will be no more,
When you will be no more.
Even death will die… x2

Death, be not proud x3
Cause even death will die.

The Case Of The Empty Tomb

My good friend Joe Heschmeyer will soon be abandoning the United States in order to complete his final seminary studies at the North American College (NAC) in Rome.  Given the recent World Cup defeat of the England at the hands of the Italians, I take this as an extremely personal betrayal.

Fortunately for Joe, I’ve decided to forgive him and post the talk he gave recently on the subject of the Resurrection:

If you’d like to see the rest of the presentation and read his notes, they’re available here.

A little update

Life has been a little busy recently with lots of travelling so I’m rather behind with writing more substantial posts, sorry. I think that should change by the end of the month and I can start knocking out all the posts which are currently 90% complete.

TOTOh, and if you’re in Seattle this week, then please come to my Theology On Tap talk tomorrow on “Reading The Bible For All Its Worth”. I’m very excited 🙂

Tattoo Follow-Up

Last week I shared links to two other blog posts which discussed the issue of Christians getting tattoos. Needless to say, there was quite a lively discussion on my Facebook page! In the discussion, quite a few of my Christian friends shared the stories behind their tattoos and, despite my personal dislike of tattoos, I found the whole things fascinating so I thought it might be a nice idea to do something of a follow-up post…

So, if you are a Christian and have a tattoo, please contact me. I’d invite you to send me a picture of your tattoo, together with a little bit of the story behind it. I’ll then collect them all into a post for next week 🙂
