http://www.paris-live.com/ "Alons enfants de la patrie, le jour de gloire est arrivé." The French philosophers inspired the Founding Fathers to give the boot to the U.K. and declare our Independence. On July 14,1789 , the French people acted like they were possessed. They destroyed the Bastille prison, of which not a stone remained. They did away with the monarchy and amateur model ristocracy. The revolt of the people had a strong reason -- hunger. The monarchs spent public money in futilities while the people starved. In addition, the bourgeoisie had means of production, owned the press, but weren't entitled to have land. So, they carried the banner of "Liberté,Egalité, Fraternité" even if they couldn't keep their promises of democratic liberties once they had the power. Nevertheless, the French Revolution is an important mark for all of us; the end of tyranny dictated not by achievement of rulers but by blue blood :P) You can watch the Tour Eiffel light today and tomorrow, to the sound of the Marseillaise. On July 14, 1789 the French became citizens no longer subjects. I will be at Os Mutantes, I hope and with my feet up again tomorrow. The fact I left the hospital doesn't mean I am okay-o. Mireille Mathieu sings the Marseillaise, full version, Portuguese subtitles.

In my last post I mentioned that our small group was doing a study on Galatians, using Tim Keller’s material. And, by the way, since Tim made a comment on my last post on this subject and I am hoping he’ll read this one, I want to point out up front that I’ll be jumping off from his material into my own ruminations and applications. What I say will be largely based on his material but I want to make sure he doesn’t get the blame if I stray from his own thoughts. In our study we came to an excursus on the story of the prodigal son and we saw how the story is really that of two lost brothers. We saw that the elder brother and the younger brother represent two different kinds of lostness. The younger brother represents the irreligious person and the elder represents the religious person. The outcome of both religion and irreligion are the same – lostness. The gospel is a “third way” of salvation that is neither through religion or irreligion. As our small group discussed this story, one passage from Keller’s study stood out in particular. The point? When the message of the gospel is clear, moral people tend to dislike it, while irreligious people are intrigued and attracted. The way to know that you are communicating and living the same gospel message as balance transfer credit cards esus is that “younger brothers” are more attracted to you than elder brothers. This is a very searching test, because almost always, our churches are not like that.
