On a lighter note\u2026 I ran across this video yesterday from the Lutheran Satire folks. You\u2019ve heard of messing with Sasquatch \u2013 they have a go at the dispensationalists. Nothing could be more fun than messing with the sloppy biblical interpretation and just plain fictional foolishness of dispensationalism. From Hal Lindsey to Tim Lahay, from \u201cA Thief in the Night\u201d to Kirk Cameron\u2019s immortal \u201cLeft Behind,\u201d dispensationalism (rymes with sensationalism), never ceases to disappoint in terms of its sheer comedic value. I\u2019ve watched this video 3 times and I\u2019m still laughing out loud. These guys (TheLutheranSatire) have some serious game. Make sure you watch through the credits, the best part is at the end.<\/div>\n
