http://musement-park.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
I met someone not too long ago who totally blew me away. She was a doctor who preferred to be practicing as a missionary doctor in India amongst the poor. I asked her why. She really didn’t know. It’s something she just always wanted to do. To add to how mind boggling (or mind bottling? This is, she’s ethnically Malayalee. If you are Malayalee, you know our culture in the 21. This mysterious “something” is not found in Kerala, nor is it found in America. But I want to know what it is. I just want to know...

musement park: The Gospel and Aliens: Reflections on District 9
http://musement-park.blogspot.com/2011/02/gospel-and-aliens-reflections-on.html
The Gospel and Aliens: Reflections on District 9. This may contain spoilers for those who have not seen the movie. And wish to see it. Many years ago I was leading a small group at a youth retreat. One youth asked me, in all seriousness, with the most sincere curiosity, “Did God create the aliens? 8221; I said yes. If there are aliens, God created them. Years later, I shared this question with a professor at Westminster. I then asked him what would be the Christian reaction to the existence aliens? The m...

musement park: Confessions of a Dallas Sports Fan
http://musement-park.blogspot.com/2011/05/confessions-of-dallas-sports-fan.html
Confessions of a Dallas Sports Fan. When I moved to Dallas at 11 years old, I moved to a city with the Big Three professional sports: baseball, football, basketball. But I didn’t become a fan of either instantly. It slowly happened. My first love was baseball and the Texas Rangers. The reason why I even developed interest was because in 7th grade P.E., a friend was telling me how great it was that the Rangers got Nolan Ryan. I asked, “Who’s Nolan Ryan? To all those Mavs fans who have stuck with it throug...

A desire for orthodoxy and orthopraxy. Mdash; Leave a comment. February 15, 2010. There’s something manly about having a well-maintained lawn. That may sound ridiculous, but if you’ve ever maintained a lawn and you’re a man, you know what I’m talking about. Imagine plush, bright green, thick lawn. The kind that’s strong enough to play football on but soft enough to protect a child. This is a lot like the seed of the gospel. Believing this truth leads us to some key realizations:. We’re called to be...

We’re excited, scared, anxious, etc. for the arrival of our baby. Sherin has been doing great and our baby continues to remain active (especially throughout the night – oh boy). We always get asked “So are you guys ready? And so we’re taking it one day at a time. I keep my cellphone close by me. We’re enjoying the ca...You both will be ...

A desire for orthodoxy and orthopraxy. Mdash; Leave a comment. February 22, 2010. The following sermon was preached by Ajay at Seven Mile Road Church. It is the final message of a 7-part series titled The Seven Mile Road based on Luke 24:13-33. I share this sermon with you because it challenged me to consider the urgency, cost, and joy of living in mission. May we too respond as did the men travelling with Jesus on the road to Emmaus….

A desire for orthodoxy and orthopraxy. Let’s talk about sex…. Mdash; 4 Comments. January 12, 2010. What does flying have to do with sex? Nothing, nothing at all. But even flying can be made sexual. So can bracelets, beer, burgers, and band-aids. We have the ability and the tendency to think sexually about anything. Why is this? Think about that for a moment… that thought may disturb us a bit. But what if we learned about sex biblically? Let’s challenge ourselves to think biblically about sex. L...Have yo...

What would American movies be like if they adopted the obligatory song and dance that Malayalam movies and Bollywood movies have? This was something I found myself pondering yesterday. So I thought I would pick a movie and find moments in the movie where a song and dance could occur. In addition, usually when there’s a dance, the scenery keeps changing. What different settings could be used in each dance in the American movie? The movie I chose for this test is Armageddon. This is the easiest one. Tim Wi...
