a little SHOT from the MATRIX

never forget my first exposure to “The Matrix” sitting in a theater in rural India as rats were scurrying across my open toed sandals ... what a collision of realities!

was just watching it again with a friend from the streets of LA who was desperate to watch it. Although I never got caught up in all the hoopla when the movie was released in regards to the NEO character (if there was any “christian” reference I always thought it was more about ‘me’ being a “new creation” than anything), I was definitely impacted by the Kingdom imagery as the alternate reality of the Kingdom of Heaven collided with that of the current age.

in seeing it again one ‘quote’ really stuck out to me ...

“THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN KNOWING THE PATH, AND WALKING THE PATH”, Morpheus

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm ...

Dave I remember when this came out and we were in Winnipeg.  You loved it.  the next Sunday you were talking about it.  For some reason we were talking about concerts too the other day.  You said “I love this Church, U2 on Friday night, March for Jesus on Sunday” those were the days.

“I am pleased to give “When Justice Shines” our Editor’s Choice award. I strongly encourage you to consider getting this project- it will inspire and encourage you with its prophetic call, its amazing live musicianship and its unashamed message of abandon to Christ as we look for justice to the broken here on earth.”
