Author: Nathan Campbell
Nathan runs St Eutychus. He loves Jesus. His wife. His daughter. His son. His other daughter. His dog. Coffee. And the Internet. He is the pastor of City South Presbyterian Church, a church in Brisbane, a graduate of Queensland Theological College (M. Div) and the Queensland University of Technology (B. Journ). He spent a significant portion of his pre-ministry-as-a-full-time-job life working in Public Relations, and now loves promoting Jesus in Brisbane and online. He can't believe how great it is that people pay him to talk and think about Jesus. If you'd like to support his writing financially you can do that by giving to his church.

The future of church music
I don’t want to sound like a total Apple fanboy (I remember when I used to be an unfanboy) – but the iPhone is the future of music in church. Don’t believe me?
The real question is how emo “worship” leaders are going to manage procreation without a guitar to attract the ladies…
Some new music
I’ve heard this song on the Js a few times. I really like it.
Here’s an acoustic version.
Here’s a cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s Cecilia…
Interesting panel discussion on atheism
I’ve got a bunch of things to say about atheism in a later post. But you should watch this video, if you have 30 minutes…
He’s not the Messiah…
Just an Italian plumber featured in Nintendo games…
Though this sculpture may cause some confusion…
The original:
Via Gearfuse.
Why I’m not Anglican (or Catholic)
It’s mostly the clothes. To be honest.
I don’t want to look like a Rubik’s cube.
Or a motherboard.
From Bad Vestments.

YouTube Tuesday: The Rock’n’Roll bonanza
Jacob Aranza was right.
Rock and Roll is for Klingons (who Jesus hates).
Even the Catholics are onto you back masking rock stars – I’ve always wondered why “another one bites the dust” made me want to start smoking marijuana:
Crystal ball gazing is going to get you into trouble…
But, Aranza was wrong. There is no such thing as “Christian rock”… this comes in eight parts (I’ve started this at the relevant bit, the background is that this guy is a prophet of true Christianity).
I think this guy also thinks coffee and failing businesses are Satan’s work.
The solution is to be less enthusiastic in our singing.
Understanding Christianese (from the atheist perspective)
This is simultaneously helpful and unhelpful. Given that we believe “I’ll pray for you” actually is a method for caring for people that particular critique is mostly unfounded (though “I’ll pray for you” with no offer of physical help does smack of hypocrisy).
What do you reckon? And are there other phrases we should reconsider?
An alternative Pacman Movie
I posted a Pacman Movie trailer a while ago (I can’t find it – it had a guy in a yellow motorbike helmet). This one is more intense.
PACMAN: THE MOVIE TRAILER from Therefore Productions on Vimeo.
Thou Shalt Not Kiss (until you are married)
I think that’s the 11th commandment. Don’t watch this on YouTube – the comment thread has been hijacked… although watching it here will give you a good understanding why that’s the case. It’s kind of creepy and emotionally manipulative at the same time…
This guy has it all sorted. (via Jesus Needs New PR – a pretty awesome blog)
