I’m definitely interested in the finished Organum script. If I remember correctly, I might even have stumbled upon the Arca Musurgica via your Cuckoo clock entry in the first place …</p> Thanks for the links!

]]> Comment on “Chocolat” by Renee http://martinwinter.com/blog/2006/02/03/chocolat/#comment-19 Renee Sat, 25 Mar 2006 22:35:27 +0000 http://martinwinter.com/blog/2006/02/03/chocolat/#comment-19 <p>I think what struck me the most about the movie was how joy and personal satisfaction or fulfillment of desires was completely found outside the confines of the church. Because the townspeople were not taught the whole message of the gospel, they believed that their lives as good religious people had to be based on pretense, boredom and gloominess. Some of them found joy and satisfaction through other means (chocolate) because they had no idea that the Source of all joy is actually Jesus. The Jesus they knew was still hanging crucified on the cross and had no power to bring transformation to their lives. Their religious knowledge in this case actually led them away from Jesus.</p> <p>I believe that it is a very clever tactic of the Enemy to deceive the church by making us believe that our lives in Christ are dull, lifeless and hypocritical. If this is our mindset, we truly will miss the kingdom of God and probably take others with us down this deceptive path. If only we as the Bride of Christ would wake up and find that our God sings with delight over us (Zeph. 3:17) and because of joy endured the cross for us! If only we would realize that all of our longings are met in HIM, not in temporary pleasures, then we would actually have something to offer to our world instead of the dead religion so well portrayed in this movie.</p> I think what struck me the most about the movie was how joy and personal satisfaction or fulfillment of desires was completely found outside the confines of the church.

Speaking of people, long time no see. There’s a Bible study in English at my church on Thursday nights at 6:30pm if you’re so interested in practicing your English and meeting some more Christians here in Dresden (people from all over the world, including Germany).

And I agree, what can be scary about this book is it's "backdoor techniques". Even people who approach the book as "fiction" will start to entertain the idea of Jesus marrying and having children. Which has long reaching implications as to who you think Jesus was (and is). Brown's publisher is also being sued right now by two other authors who claim he copied their research for his book (is there anything worse than being caught copying the wrong answers?).</p> <p>I figured I should comment on here instead of just reading it (like I have been for a couple weeks).</p> <p>Ross</p> Hey Martin, I am somehow not surprised by this development over the book.
