I recently read a blog from Chris Summerfield about how he sees his spiritual walk less like the Matrix (one often used because of the duality of the universe - spiritual vs. physical) and more like Fight Club:

 ”There is no overarching vampire or matrix that we need to discover and fight, rather the evil is being perpetrated by us and the systems that we comply with. In Fight Club Tyler Durden is the Christ like figure who walks into Jacks life. Tyler forces Jack to face the current reality of his world, the injustice, the love of money, the obsession of the trivial and to liberate him, an “heir of oppression” (my term) from that.”

So it got me thinking. What movie does your spiritual walk of faith look most like?

Mine? Lord of the Rings. Often times it feels like there’s only a small fellowship that keeps the light going. We do our best beyond insurmountable odds, in the hope that our King will return.

So what about you?

I don’t think I’d have a correct understanding of faith if I weren’t a Braves fan. For years I’ve followed with marginal success, but still faith and hope keep me coming back. Now Thursday they’re having their own faith day at the park. Thankfully it’s not a Jesus bobblehead night.

After the game, John Smoltz will share about his walk with Christ and they’ll have Christian bands playing. It’s an interesting idea and I’ll be curious to see how it pans out.

It would be more interesting if the after game show was actually free (not the $10 cover charge). Our gift of salvation was free, but then again Jesus never had to deal with Ticketmaster.

Any thoughts?
