In Which Turmeric Finally Learns How to Journal
Untitled First Entry
Posted 05-03-2008 at 11:55 PM by turmeric
Hello, everyone,
I don't have much to say in this first entry - I don't blog very often, but decided to try this feature out. I wonder if there are ways to customize it like the profiles? It's a Saturday evening and I'm listening to the local jazz station.
I'm thinking about post-modernism, how it's a descendant of existentialism, which is something I do understand, as opposed to post-modernism, which I don't understand. I've listened to quite a few sermons by someone trying to reach the post-modern age and he almost seems to be apologizing for being a Christian. Are they really so cynical that one has to do that? Puzzling...

No wonder you haven't continued to blog after waiting four years. No one posted a comment since your last May's blog!Since I am so new I don't even know how to post a blog on here. I can thank others when I get to fifteen comments--I'm not there yet.
I would love to be able to post on post modernism and the emergent church.
Post Modernism may be very West Coast, but probably it is sweeping the county. Rather than be Bible-centered, the "faith" of these moderns tend to be self-centered, with the thought that their ruminations will draw others to Christ--almost sounds like works. Books like The Shack, Velvet Elvis and Blue Like Velvet show that self-centeredness. But they are best sellers! Being best sellers doesn't make them right.
Gary Zustiak in an article about the movement points out “There is a heavy emphasis upon narrative, or story, as the chief means of communicating the message of God over doctrine or exegetical approaches.” See Christian Standard .Posted 02-16-2009 at 01:27 PM by CNJ
