“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful.
“All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.
–1 Corinthians 6:12 (ESV)–

I was reading through the band “Thank Yous” of Zao’s 1999 album Liberate Te Ex Inferis today. It took me back to my freshman year of high school. It was basically a time capsule for all things cool to rock and roll charismatic kids when I was that age.

1. The Vineyard Church – John Wimber’s theology or church environment.

2. Deftones.

3. Playstation (PS1).

4. Nintendo 64 (N64).

5. Spawn.

6. Back to the Future trilogy.

7. Star Wars trilogy.

8. The Matrix (1st one).

9. Star Trek: The Original Series – especially Spock.

10. Event Horizon – album concept – only on VidAngel definitely.

Being that I’m a dad that podcasts and blogs a lot about theology, I thought maybe I should loosen up a bit with some of these “carnal” delights and Christian liberties. Or maybe not…too much. When it comes to the movies, I could probably only push ’em in front of my teenagers with VidAngel or Clearplay in a clear conscience. But I’d need to add the Indiana Jones trilogy into the mix. Star Wars: A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back should ONLY be watched with the original DVD set called the LIMITED EDITION: BONUS DISC. You know, the original ones without the stupid CGI edits. –J.B.
