last week the youth group went on a field trip to Anoka High School to see
the Maze.
if you haven't seen it - i wish that i could describe it.
my mind was blown.
that's all i got for you. haha but really - the guy is an illusionist with an INSANE story. Jesus is just ALLLLLLL over it. and he is just using his gifts of story telling and being able to do these illusions to share it in a way that people will never forget.
truly incredible.
one of my favorite parts was when he did kind of a spoken word piece while he did one of his tricks.
the idea behind the whole thing is that we're in this "maze" of life. and he looks at different ways we try to find our way out of it.
one of them?
religion. or rather - rationalization.
and this is a clip of the show (not the one we went to, but one of them).
just a glimpse at how the world tends to see religion or spirituality...
and how it so quickly and subtley can be twisted and changed to something that doesn't the truth anymore, but everyone keeps justifying it and explaining it to death until we lose sight of why we believed what we did in the first place... and we can be deceived without even noticing.
what starts out harmless builds and finds its way in until we are so far in that we don't see where we were anymore...
its an incredibly important message -
it should cause us to stop and THINK about what we believe. about what we're doing, what we're fighting for, what we think...
and make sure that we are so grounded in TRUTH. so that we KNOW what we believe... and can't be swayed from it. because there will be questions... there WILL be other opinions.
but there is only one truth.
and its to important to get it wrong.
this is a powerful visual for a powerful message.
i LOVE seeing different ways that people share what God is teaching them...
so many creative things out there, the possibilities seem to be endless.
so let God inspire you!
