What We Do.

“I have come to appreciate the “worldliness” of Christianity as never before. The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man… It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one… This is what I mean by worldliness — taking life in one’s stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness… How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world? ” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer

This is an experiment, born out of the mind of a young, homeschooled, Christian rebel against the neo-platonism that dominates our day. This is the first front for the beginning of the new reformation.

What is this new reforamtion all about? The church today has slowly found itself slipping back into the bad, unchristian philosophies that led to the need for the first reformation. The reason for this can be attributed to several things, one of which is that the reformation never truly finished its job because it got cut off by the secularist enlightenment. A group of Christian leaders both celebrity (C.S. Lewis, Nancy Pearcey, Ravi Zacharias, and Francis Schaeffer) and obscure (the strong coalition of professors in Christian colleges for example) have been planting the seeds in my generation (I am entering my final year of high-school at this writing) for a new reformation. I have encountered countless spiritual leaders who are convinced that this generation will bring about a reformation of the Christian Church unseen in history. This blog is one small attempt to ‘get the ball rolling’ by simply being a tool of living out what I believe in.

We will feature interesting news, reviews on music, art, and film, guest posts, my political rants, and etc. All of it is designed to let you, the reader, take everything around you one level deeper and hopefully find the truth and beauty of your Creator at the root of it all. All in all, this is the attempt of a Christian to live out his faith in a new, relevant, convicted, timeless, and true way. We believe in standing up for justice, in exploiting and creating beauty, in discussing truth, and we believe in a God who is the author of all those things.

I hope you find your time here encouraging, enlightening, and dangerous.

Sincerely,
SK Johnson [administrator]

[Administrator/Renaissance man]
My name is SK Johnson. I am a homeschooled high school student. I am also the owner of the Duncan Hunter Grass Revolt (www.dhgrassrevolt.wordpress), which was the beginning of my blogging career. I am obsessed with ideas, books, music, politics, and my heroes: William Wilberforce, Thomas Jefferson, William Blackstone, C.S. Lewis, Ronald Reagan, Brother Andrew, and Jon Foreman. I hope to one day be a college professor and/or involved in politics, depending on where the Lord leads me and when.
I also have a weakness for sweet tea and European cities.
