Popular Culture Is An Eternal Gift Of God
Christians who critique fantastical stories are often blind to popular cultureâs eternal purposes.

Dragons, Maleficent, and Echoes Of Groaning Earth
Do stories such as âMaleficentâ and âHow to Train Your Dragonâ say âman is evil, nature is goodâ?

No More
Christians have a hope beyond this sinful age of earth â and beyond even the present Heaven.

Kingdom Come
Humans desire an ideal kingdom, a longing that Scripture promises to fulfill both spiritually and physically.

Resurrection, Part 4: Creation Will Rise
Jesus resurrected from the dead. Yet Godâs Story also says resurrection will spread to âthe creation itself,â Earth and beyond.

Resurrection, Part 3: We Are Risen; We Will Rise
Christ is risen. Next comes a truth echoed by heroes such as The Iron Giant and Iron Man: human resurrection, which comes in at least two stages.

Resurrection, Part 1: Prelude
Every good hero in fantasy and science fiction must experience some kind of death and rebirth. Only one Hero has truly done it. And only He can share the joy of His Resurrection.

Fiction Christians From Another Planet! VII: Attack Of The Spiritoids
From the misquote âyou are a soul, you have a body,â to spiritual-warfare âonly unseen realities matterâ assumptions, to end-times evacuation-from-Earth tropes, Gnostic spiritoids infect some Christian fiction.

Incarnation, Part 1: Eternal Entity
Science fiction and false religions often insist that humans must change from physical to spiritual beings. But God the Son did the exact opposite.

Reading Is Worship 11: Glory Spectrum Of Stories
If Godâs multihued glories shine in all of reality, how do we find such glories in stories and be moved to worship Him?
—

Redeeming Culture In Stories and Politics
The Church is not anti-culture or pro-culture, but a gracious proclaimer of the Biblical Story, and what in culture reflects Godâs truth or does not. This applies to stories, speculative and otherwise. And this applies to politics, the governance of culture.

Reading Is Worship 6: Curing Weirdness-Idolatry
How can we fight inclinations to idolize âbeing weirdâ for its own sake? We must see fantasy âweirdnessâ as normal in the Bible (and even in our culture), ask God to help us reach out to critics, and remember why we love fantastic stories.

Reading Is Worship 2: Experience-Worship
Itâs easy to break into othersâ idol factories. But for most readers, including myself, the worst potential idol in enjoying speculative stories may be experience. How is this self-defeating? What is the Biblical cure?

Speculative Faith Reading Group 9: From Defeat, Final Victory
Even among the greatest stories, the finale of LWW is unique. Here are echoes of Resurrection, eternal joy, and the truth that Christâs people will reign physically over the New Heavens and New Earth.

Will Fiction Last Forever? Part 5
In the New Earth, as here in the Old, we won’t worship things, but worship Christ *with* things. Those may include our speculative stories, maybe even resurrected from this world. Four more reasons why this speculation is based on Scriptural promises about the After-world.

Will Fiction Last Forever? Part 4
Based on Scripture, we can know that God loves stories, we can worship Him now through stories, and we’re destined to worship Him for eternity in many of the same ways. Of course, we can’t take any thing with us after death. Yet our God is a God of resurrection.

Will Fiction Last Forever? Part 3
This Thanksgiving I’m thankful for God’s Word â His perfect written revelation that He has promised will last forever, even into the New Earth. What would it be like to read the Bible then? How can that eternal perspective help us enjoy His Story now?

Will Fiction Last Forever? Part 2
Christians have three main views about the afterlife, all within Gospel faith. But should we even bother with studying and anticipating Heaven? What do we and don’t we know about Heaven from the Bible? Should we speculate about that world?

Will Fiction Last Forever? Part 1
âYour job and your hobbies have no eternal value.â Why do many Christians suspect that belief is true?
