This is more of a bonus episode, not a Truth Conversation or a Truth Talk, but a sermon I preached almost a year ago to the day. Because of changes in my understanding and interpretation of the world, this may have been the last sermon I will ever preach. No guarantees of course. I preached this sermon July 22, 2007 at the First Congregational Church of Riverside. The sermon is titled, “Something is Amiss.” I look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback.
As usual I want to bring to you a couple of recommendations. The first is quickly becoming one of my favorite sites on the web. It is freedocumentaries.org. This site brings footage, ideas, images, and perspectives that won’t be shown by the mainstream media. One of the most impacting films I have viewed this year is called Earthlings, and it can be found under “Animal Abuse Documentaries” The film documents how animals are exploited in the food, clothing and entertainment industry, as pets, and for science. This heart wrenthching documentary can also be found on the HT Blog with along with some other videos worth your time, namely George Galloways rant against Fox News. I would like to give a special thanks to Zehender for the song Any Day. Words and music by Tom Zehnder, BMI and Tim Gibbs Zehnder, BMI. They can be reached at www.ztheband.com.
