We don't talk enough about this, because it means admitting that we don't have it all together. It would mean admitting that we are still growing, and that we don't have all the answers. Sadly, this isn't tolerated in the church today. We have to have all the answers, and present this shiny, happy, fake image of ourselves to the world. We might think we are doing good, but we really aren't. If anything we're hurting ourselves, and the message.

For someone who doesn't wear a suit or speak good 'Christianese', the church has little to offer. Everyone calls one another 'brother' and 'sister,' yet they treat their neighbors better. We call it 'fellowship' and yet there is little if any real community going on. For the hundreds and thousands of people like me, we didn't choose to be de-churched. We feel that the church left us.

Without question, the plot of 'The Electric State' is one of the most original stories I have ever seen. A wild and cartoony version of 'Mad Max'. Truthfully, if you aren't paying attention, most of this films concepts will completely skip right over you.

There is at this moment, a sin that is eating at the heart and soul of this nation. A sin that we not only tolerate but celebrate. A sin, that a sinning nation have essentially forgotten. The sin is called gossip. I know, 'gossip' probably sounds like a subject for a Sunday School lesson. I assure you that not only is gossip a sin, it is a subject vitally important for more 'mature' believers.

Are we living in a golden age, or is conservative culture spiralling towards destruction? In our fight to assert our beliefs, are we becoming the very thing we are fighting against?
