So, I was heading home yesterday listening to the radio, and they began to play this tirade and I had no clue who it was. Well, come to find out it was Christian Bale as he was filming his last movie “Terminator 4.”
Who goes off like this? Seriously. And the news caster notes, “People there said he might have just been having a day day.” C’mon, a bad day?! Dropping 36 F-bombs on someone in less than four minutes for walking into your shot on a movie scene is more than just a bad day. Two words: Anger Management.
Check out the video below, but it made me think… How do we respond when things get heated? How do we handle outbursts from others? Better yet, how do we handle our own outbursts when the emotions are rising?
Sometimes there are stories on the news for which there are no words. Listen for the quote, “Maybe if more people had a duck in their life…” Classic. [HT: Nat]
I was so excited to preach the message today. When it comes to community, it’s something I can always use more of. It also doesn’t hurt that I got to use Sugar Hill Gang, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Beastie Boys, and Run DMC sound clips all the in same message. I told a story about trying to find a place to fit and used my “Wanting to be a Hip Hop Rapper” Phase. (I know, pretty lame- I could never make it as a rapper).
I placed the clips below for your listening pleasure. Enjoy.
I got the opportunity to see Jon perform this song at Catalyst. I’ve seen the full band (Switchfoot) a few times and they are great, but he’s doing a solo thing and this song convicts me. Check out the video and the lyrics are below. I can’t get the idea out of my head.
I hate all your show and pretense The hypocrisy of your praise The hypocrisy of your festivals I hate all your show Away with your noisy worship Away with your noisy hymns I stomp on my ears when you’re singing ‘em I hate all your show
Instead let there be a flood of justice An endless procession of righteous living, living Instead let there be a flood of justice Instead of a show
Your eyes are closed when you’re praying You sing right along with the band You shine up your shoes for services There’s blood on your hands You turned your back on the homeless And the ones that don’t fit in your plan Quit playing religion games There’s blood on your hands
Instead let there be a flood of justice An endless procession of righteous living, living Instead let there be a flood of justice Instead of a show I hate all your show
Let’s argue this out If your sins are blood red Let’s argue this out You’ll be one of the clouds Let’s argue this out Quit fooling around Give love to the ones who can’t love at all Give hope to the ones who got no hope at all Stand up for the ones who can’t stand at all, all I hate all your show I hate all your show I hate all your show I hate all your show
Instead let there be a flood of justice An endless procession of righteous living, living Instead let there be a flood of justice Instead of a show I hate all your show
