21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. 24 But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again. (Philippians 1:21-26)
There’s been a question nagging me for some time now, and I’d like to throw it out there to see what other people think…
To “depart and be with Christ” is obviously a good thing. Spending eternity with our Lord is one of the blessed benefits of our salvation and adoption into the family of God. It is one of the reasons we are to live with hope today; it is something we can look forward to.
In Revelation 6:10, the martyred saints cry out from under the altar, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Their seeming impatience is for God’s justice, which is certainly a good. It echoes the Psalms where David cries for God’s justice upon His enemies.
But it is possible to desire good things for the wrong reasons. For example, someone might desire to cure cancer only because it would make them rich and give them esteem among their colleagues. Or consider someone who desires to report a co-worker to their boss for wasting time on Facebook, not for the good of the company, but out of hate toward their co-worker.
The question is, is it possible to desire to depart for the wrong reasons? Is it possible that this desire may even be held for sinful reasons?
Often I long to depart and be with Christ because I’m weary of this world, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. I’m weary of the toil, the disappointments, the illness, the sin. I want to escape from all this and enjoy Christ in a place unencumbered by the struggles of this life. Certainly there are times when I desire to be with Christ for good reasons, but often it seems my desire is tainted with selfishness. The desire longs for eternity on my terms instead of God’s. Much like the “prodigal son,” it seeks my inheritance now instead of when God has planned to give it.
So what do you think- is it possible for our desire to be with Christ in heaven to be wrong or even sinful?

If you’re a Christian, you probably like a lot of those words. I bet some of them can be found in Stuff Christians Like by Jon Acuff, so you’ll probably like it as well. I mean, how could you, as a Christian, not like a book that’s all about things you like? It’s got everything- God, Jesus, love, prayer, stories about children.
The book is a compilation of blog posts from the blog of the same name. Each expresses Acuff’s humor and wisdom on all sorts of topics related to Christianity. Some bring out a more serious, devotional reflection, while most simply make light of our most awkward Christian cultural baggage. I found it a bit difficult to read in long strides due to the disjointed nature of the commentaries, but it’s a great read taken in smaller doses.
In fact, it’s the perfect bathroom reading book. You know, since it’s a sin to read the Bible while you’re using the toilet. This will fill that void for you. You’ll just have to explain to others why you were laughing in the bathroom- which, of course, is better than someone finding out you read your Bible in the bathroom.

When a series as beloved as The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis becomes adapted for the big screen the process becomes a story unto itself. Media guru Mark Joseph seeks to tell this story in The Lion, The Professor, and the Movies: Narnia’s Journey to the Big Screen. The book archives the process from its beginnings in obtaining rights and forming relationships between the necessary companies using published press releases and interviews.
The twelve chapters of the book cover Narnia’s contemporary film journey through several perspectives including directing, writing, producing, marketing and financing. In the middle of the book is a thorough analysis of C.S. Lewis’s theology, why evangelicals appreciate his work, and the role his theology plays in the Narnian tales.
Surprisingly, there are no interviews in the book, only quotes from published sources. Given the timed release with The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, I expected more coverage on Prince Caspian and The Dawn Treader, the breakup between Disney and Walden Media, and Fox’s involvement with the series. However, the last two films only comprise the last 20 pages of the book.
Fans that have enjoyed seeing the series come to life on the silver screen will enjoy the comprehensive account offered by Mark Joseph in The Lion, The Professor, and the Movies. Those not thoroughly familiar with how films are made will be especially fascinated by the book, in addition to the dramatic narrative the Narnian journey to film has formed.

Christmas means lights both colorful and bright
It means cheerful giving, though budgets are tight
For many it means family from both near and far
And many a great big tree they’ve topped with a star
For some it means a church service followed by presents
A time to pause and reflect on Christ’s earthly presence
From the time of the curse we knew He’d appear
He would fulfill all of Scripture and make the truth clear
But sometimes we forget the full purpose and scope
We forget the true reason we have so much joy and hope
If “now in flesh appearing” means He only came
Then our position before God would be all the same
Mere holy incarnation would do nothing to pay
For all of our sins or keep God’s wrath at bay
For if that lowly manger didn’t lead to a high cross
Then we’d be a cursed race, doomed for eternal loss
But not only has Christ come, He also lived and died
So that all who follow Him may with God forever abide
Christmas led to Easter thus giving a reason
For joy, hope and peace beyond just this season

A friend recently asked about my beliefs regarding “God’s will.” What follows is my response, adapted for the blog. He asked, “How do you discern His will when it’s not a black and white issue Scripture doesn’t address (ie the choice between two good)?”
I assume that by “His will” my friend meant what God desires for me to choose between the two goods- basically the view that God has a personal will or plan for my life that I may or may not choose to follow. I don’t believe such a personal will or plan can be found in Scripture.
In the Bible we learn that God has a sovereign will, those things that God decrees or allows to happen [Eph 1:11, Rom 9:19, Dan 4:35, Acts 2:23, 4:27-28]. This will is hidden from us- we can only discover in hindsight or as it is revealed in Scripture (the fate of the lost, what happens on judgment day, etc). We also learn that God has a moral, which is the application of His holiness to how we ought to live [1 Thess 4:3, 5:15-18, 1 Peter 2:13-15, Eph 5:16-18]. God’s moral will is completely revealed in scripture and accessible to everyone. It applies to us all equally. Apart from these two perspectives on God’s will, I see no personal plan or will in scripture. God’s will is not about what woman I will marry (if I will), but what sort of husband I should be. It’s not about which job I should take, but what sort of worker I should be.
Regarding the view that God has a personal will for us individually that we have to discern and find, J.I. Packer says, “The first thing to say is that the idea of guidance is actually a novelty among orthodox evangelicals. It does not go back farther than the last century. Second, it has led people to so much foolish action on the one hand, and so much foolish inaction on the other, as well as puzzlement and heartbreak when the ‘hotline’ to God seems to go silent, that it has to be discredited. Third, it must be said that Scripture gives us no more warrant constantly to expect personal ‘hotline,’ ‘voice-from-the-control-tower’ guidance than to expect new authoritative revelations to come our way for the guidance of the whole church.” (Hot Tub Religion, page 118).
As to the point of the question, how do I make decisions, I attempt to make decisions in light of three factors: God’s moral will, wisdom, and my personal desires. If something is opposed to God’s moral will, then I should obviously flee from it. If it’s not opposed, then I consider the wisdom of the choices. For example, would it be wise for me to marry a woman who loves Jesus, though we have nothing else in common? Probably not. If the options pass the criteria of wisdom, then I’m free to choose how I wish. If I’m offered two jobs, and both are honoring to God, and both would be wise to take, then I’m free to choose the job I would like more. I don’t need to put out a fleece or await some other confirmation from God. If it’s moral and wise, then the only question as to whether or not it will honor Him is my attitude.
Some examples of this model used in the Bible (in theological circles referred to as the Wisdom Model) are in Paul’s planning of a mission to Rome in Romans 1:9-15, 15:22-24, the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15:1-29), and Paul’s instructions for legal disputes (1 Cor 6:3-6).
Apart from Scripture, my views on this have been influenced by Packer, Greg Koukl at Stand to Reason (“Decision Making and the Will of God”), Gary Friesen (“Decision Making and the Will of God”), and Ruth Tucker (“God Talk”). Tim Challies recently posted a list of “5 Great Books on the Will of God” that take this perspective.

For most Christians the doctrine of the Trinity is believed more on authority than biblical understanding. Yet Christians, and evangelicals in particular, have a deeply Trinitarian theology embedded in their worldview that they’re often unaware of. In The Deep Things of God: How the Trinity Changes Everything, Fred Sanders seeks to bring these Trinitarian beliefs to the surface and show how critical they are to the Christian faith.
Sanders explains early in his introduction: “The gospel is Trinitarian, and the Trinity is the gospel. Christian salvation comes from the Trinity, happens through the Trinity, and brings us home to the Trinity.” (p10) Not only does he attempt to show how important the Trinity is to Christian doctrine, but along the way he cites a rich history of evangelical authors to show that deep down it’s been important all along.
The first two chapters of the book deal with preliminary matters of method and what it means for God to live in Trinitarian existence. Here Sanders reminds us that “the man practical reason for learning how to think well about the eternal life of the trinity is that it is the background for the gospel. The blessedness of God’s inner life is the only thing that is even better than the good news.” (p83)
Chapters three through five comprise the heart of the book. They explore the size and scope of the Trinity in its relationship to the gospel and salvation. The final two chapters of the book look to the practices of Bible reading and prayer. Essentially, they address how we commune with the Trinity, whether or not we’re fully aware of the complex depth of the communion.
It’s important to point out that this is not an argument full of biblical proof texts to argue that Christians ought to believe in the Bible. For that, I recommend The Forgotten Trinity by James White. The Deep Things of God by Fred Sanders assumes the biblical nature of the Trinity and explores what it means for other important Christian doctrines. Though this theology is embedded throughout evangelical writings, The Deep Things of God provides a unique synthesis of thought and application that will challenge readers to thoroughly consider the Trinity in all the right ways. Those who are not accustomed to reading theological books will likely struggle through certain portions of the book (particularly the first chapter), but will undoubtedly benefit from the rest of it.

*If you have not watched the final episode of LOST and don’t want to know how it ends, do not continue reading*
Overall, I believe LOST’s narrative narrowly survives the weaknesses of its unsolved mysteries. We are left with nagging questions, even after the bonus epilogue found on the season 6 DVD. But the most important questions have been answered, and the great climatic struggles of the narrative have been resolved.
Beyond mystery, another criticism of the show has been its theology. There are two moments that seem to demonstrate either ignorance or thoughtlessness on the part of the writers. In Season 2, Episode 12 “Fire + Water”, Mr. Eko claims that Jesus was baptized for his sins, and that baptizing Claire and Aaron will protect them. Both claims are plainly contrary to Christian teaching. I think the best way to explain this is that Mr. Eko never received formal theological training. He does seem to have memorized quite a bit of scripture, but there’s no indication that he has a robust understanding of its teaching.
The second can’t be explained via the plot, and is solely the responsibility of the writers. Even if we accept that LOST has its own unique spiritual worldview (there’s a light in every man that’s sourced to the island, the island is purgatory for bad people, not-so-bad people move on to some vague after life), the stain glass window in the final episode “The End” is rather repugnant. The church appears to be a Christian church (especially considering the painting of Thomas in the sanctuary and Christian stained glass windows), yet in this odd room is a stained glass window featuring symbols from Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. The obvious message here in the afterlife is that all of these religions have led to the same outcome.
The problem is that each of these religions have serious differences at their very core. Saying they’re all true is much like saying every color of the rainbow is actually blue. If you take away their contradictory claims, you take away the claims that make them the religions that they are. For example, if Jesus is not the only way for salvation as Christianity claims, then Christianity is wrong. You cannot take away that claim and still have Christianity. Even in LOST’s unique worldview, that stained glass window is either utterly illogical, and disrespectful to the religions that are represented, or the symbols have absolutely no meaning and don’t refer to the religions we associate them with.
That said, there are very redeeming moments in LOST revolving around faith and religion. A few months ago I heard a gal say that watching LOST motivated her to return to church. LOST raised many of life’s biggest questions and never shied away from wrestling with them.
There isn’t much else for me to say at this point. LOST has become my all-time favorite show. I’ve met many of the cast and crew, collected plenty of memorabilia, attended some fun events, become friends with other devoted fans, and spent considerable time reflecting on and discussing the intricacies of the show. LOST is a great story, and every good story reminds us that we are part of a grand story that encompasses all of history.

*If you have not watched the final episode of LOST and don’t want to know how it ends, do not continue reading*
“The mystery box… stays closed.” The LOST island had mystery boxes everywhere, and the island itself was a mystery box. Some of these boxes were torn open and examined, such as Dharma. Others were left much like J.J. Abrams’s box: tightly sealed with a big question mark. Obviously, these question marks were a large part of what LOST was, and the writers made it clear all along. Some boxes would not be opened; some questions would remain unanswered.
There are many good reasons to leave some questions unanswered. Whether or not there’s a good reason all of our remaining question marks is worthy of some consideration. In my estimation, the unanswered questions fall generally into three categories.
1) Unfulfilled setups. For example: Viewers generally accepted that some people had special abilities. Hurley talked to dead people, Miles heard dead peoples’ final thoughts, and Desmond was resistant to electromagnetism. For the most part, these were accepted without much question. But Walt was also special, and his special abilities were deemed especially important. Just what makes Walt special is only hinted at, so we can only guess that he had some sort of ability to summon things (such as birds and polar bears) and appear in places he shouldn’t be. The Others seemed to think that Walt’s abilities were worth kidnapping and attempted murder. That was a rather large setup leading to high expectations regarding the nature and importance of Walt’s abilities. But after leaving the island in season 3, we’re left with a rather nagging underdeveloped mystery.
Of the remaining mysteries of LOST, I believe this is the most populated and the least important category. Many of the questions that can be placed here are interesting, pique our curiosity and fuel our speculation. And that’s how mystery in a quality narrative should function. Some, such as Walt, really should have been paid-off to some degree.
2) Inconsistencies. For example: The Man in Black’s primary goal for some 2,000 years is to leave the island. For whatever reason, he appears to be stuck there as long as Jacob and the candidates are alive. However, he seems to have appeared off-island as Christian Shepherd on the freighter and in Jack’s hospital lobby. Maybe we can write off the freighter appearance because it was really close to the island, but what about the hospital room? Maybe it was actually the ghost of Jack’s father? I think there’s a decent case to be made either way.
The point is that there are some questions that raise inconsistencies in the narrative of LOST. While fewer of the remaining mysteries fall into this category, these are more troubling. A narrative structure can only survive a limited amount of inconsistencies before it collapses. I don’t believe LOST’s narrative collapsed, but suffer some damaging blows from these lingering questions.
3) Foundational mysteries. For example: We are expected to believe that the most powerful and important thing in the show is the light at the heart of the island. It’s ultimately why everyone was brought to the island and, in a round about way, what so many died for so it could be protected. The crazy mother said that there’s a bit of this light in every man and they all want more. Furthermore, if it’s destroyed at the island, it goes out everywhere. Whoever installed the light must have been very sophisticated, and it must have required a group of people to construct. With all the power and resources the constructors had, apparently they couldn’t protect the light themselves. Some how protection of this all important light was left in the hands of crazy mother. Without any explanation, this is the sort of thing that’s foundational to the show’s narrative, yet really hard to buy.
This sort of problem is the most damaging to the narrative. If the foundation of a narrative is weakened by too many of these sort of mysteries, it cannot bear the weight of the narrative. Thankfully, there is not much in LOST’s narrative that fits this category.

If you have not watched the final episode of LOST and don’t want to know how it ends, do not continue reading*
*
Having been an outspoken fan of LOST for the last few years, a good number of folks have asked me how I felt about the finale. My response has been that I feel great about the finale. The problem is that the more I think about it, the more nagging questions come to mind. It was an emotionally satisfying ending, but not intellectually satisfying.
Before I explain my reaction, I should note that I still believe LOST is the most daring, compelling, beautiful, and interesting show that has ever aired on television. It appealed to a wide spectrum of genres and interests, including drama, romance, science-fiction, comedy, religion, and mythology. The narrative, story-telling, acting, score and production were top-notch across the board (with the exception of a few cheap CGI scenes). No amount of disappointment in particular elements of the final episode changes my belief that there isn’t another show that can match the caliber of LOST.
Reaction to the final episode seems to be split right down the middle: many people were satisfied with how the character’s stories were resolved, while many were dissatisfied with the lack of resolution of many of LOST’s mysteries. Misguided expectations were partially to blame: some people expected every mystery to be resolved and lambasted the writers and ABC for not providing the desired answers. Folks, we live in a flawed world and everything we encounter is flawed to some degree. Those who expected the finale to wrap everything in a nice tight box were doomed for disappointment before the episode started.
On the flipside, viewer’s expectations for answers were partially motivated by advertising for the show. Official promos and teasers repeatedly promised that this final season would reveal all the important answers we’ve longed desired. So, I think the blame for false expectations goes both ways.
From the very first episode mystery played an integral role in the developing narrative. It was one of many plot devices used to hook viewer’s interest. What was that “monster” that made strange noises in the jungle and knocked down trees? How was Locke miraculously heeled after being paralyzed? How did polar bears end up on a tropical island?
The importance of mystery relied heavily on J.J. Abrams’s “Mystery Box.” If you haven’t seen Abrams’s brief lecture on this, check out the video below. In the next post I’ll further explore mystery and why my satisfaction is mixed with some of the ways LOST utilized it.

This is the first poem I’m written in a few years. It’s not very sophisticated, but I think it works. “On Distant Shores” is a phrase that teases my imagination. It conjures in my mind thoughts of Aslan’s Country in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. What lies beyond that shoreline? One day we shall see.
My heart yet years for distant shores
Where pain and sorrow stain no more
Since my youth and from days of old
I’ve heard hopes excitedly told
Of sprawling vast mansion and streets of gold
Of countless fishing holes and treasures without mold
But I have longed for more than these
Something worth the journey on these troubled seas
For beyond the shores a kingdom lies
Filled with pure light and bluest skies
A king there reigns with proven might
He has conquered sin and made all wrongs right
He has healed the broken and given sight
And become for all people a wellspring of light
One day I’ll face that inevitable hour
And in death I’ll flee to that strong tower
At that grand moment I’ll see His face
My savior, brother and author of my race
More than gold or rest it’s Him I seek
He is true treasure and strength for the weak
Eternal communion with my dearest friend
Makes all trials meaningful and worth it in the end
How often we approach the throne of grace as desperate beggars. Yet He never once turns us away, but lavishes the richest of riches upon us. 2009-10-06

21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. 24 But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again. (Philippians 1:21-26)
