Enjoy the Theater

My wife and I went to the movie theater the other day. We hadn’t gone in a while, and a movie came out that we wanted to see, so we went out for dinner and a movie. The theater was modern, with reclining leather seats. Most importantly, the theater didn’t reek of stale soda and popcorn. The film was fantastic; we watched Jesus Revolution. Do you remember the first movie you saw in a movie theater? Mine was E.T. (Extra Terrestrial)—no need to do the math. I will make it easy. I predate dinosaurs.

“Movie theater” is synonymous with laughter, saturated butter popcorn, and overpaying for everything, and it offers an experience you can’t get at home. Nature offers a different kind of theater. The kind that you may hear two lawyers arguing, two kids playing, or two otters playing tag in a river. There’s spring in the air! Soak up the sun. Drink up the cool air. Saturate yourself with the glory of God’s beautiful creation. Men are more frontier than suburban. Always have been.

Original works of grace are possible in the everyday work of forgiving the sinner, in helping the hurt, and in taking up personal responsibilities. . . . Creation continues. The streets and fields, the homes and markets of the world are an art gallery displaying not culture, but new creations in Christ.”
