Some thoughts about “Scripture… As We Live It”
I’ve been writing the “Scripture… As We Live It” series since May 2008 (this is the first post). Tomorrow, I plan to publish the 237th post in the series. It’s a fun series for me to write, and I always enjoy the feedback. It seems that everyone agrees with some of the re-mixes and disagrees with others.
I also enjoy it when other people do their own re-mixes. (I’m certainly not claiming to be the first to do this…) For example, Eric writes his “Tradition Says” posts, and Jon has his “Playdough Scripture.” There have been others, but those are the two that I could find quickly. (Also, my friend Art created an animation based on one of my SAWLI posts.)
Recently, I’ve been honored to see that someone else is commenting on my SAWLI posts as well. Over at “Some Thoughts on Being Christian,” an author named JC has written a few posts based on some of the re-mixed Scriptures and he includes some of his own thoughts as well. You can find all of his posts here: “Scriptures about church… As we live them.”
I’m glad this idea has caught on with many bloggers. I really appreciate the many people who have followed my series and have commented on the posts.

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. But, of course, the days will be even more evil in about 2000 years. You won’t believe how awful it will be then. (Ephesians 5:15-16 re-mix)

Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Yes, of course they were! God always sends disasters like this and hurricanes and tsunamis and tornadoes and other natural disasters because of the sins of a nation. (Luke 13:4-5 re-mix)
