Ecclesiastical Egotism: The Death of Christian Imagination

Will Nielsen

October 2nd, 2007

Tags: Arts & Culture • Christian Imagination • New Testament • Romans • Romans 12:1-2

As a sort of punctuation (!) to the series just finished on Romans 12:1-2, Participation and Transformation, which dealt with Sanctification and Christian Imagination, I wanted to post this You-Tube video, echoing its parody. While it is a parody, it saddens me deeply that what it spoofs is in fact an increasingly present disposition in the Churches of Jesus Christ - at least in America. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, have mercy upon us.

Something to say?
