Belated Birthday Celebration and Others

So, today Kevin and I went to Culver's. It was delicious. Then the people who were in Peoria came home and we had Chipotle for dinner (not my fave, but the guacamole is delicious) and celebrated my mom's birthday (a little belated). And.... I'm exhausted. And.... I'm having one of those days where I just want to know what I'm doing for the rest of my life and I'm so confused. And.... I'm getting up early, soooo.... This post will be short.

Theology is like football: In Super Bowl,there's only a winner and the other team. With Christianity, you're either Chirstian or not.

Sin distorts creation and we can't fix it. God steadily works to redeem what God made. {Good news and bad news: You're part of the solution and part of the problem}

-In Exodus, people of God are in Egypt and they cry out to God for deliverance.

Pharaoh:

-Robs them of the fruit of their labor

-Robs them of their human dignity and worth

-Sees them as a means to his own cards

Mixing Religion and Politics

-Triangles of Power

Three Powers of Kingdom Building

1. King

2. Prophets (the advocate)

3. The voiceless oppressed
