Lifehouse skit
What is it about that Lifehouse skit/mime thingy that hits me so powerfully each time I see it? I’ve seen quite a few different versions already, but it’s a really beautiful picture of what Chrisitanity is about. The skit is really divided into 4 major sections- a portrait of Creation, Fall, Redemption, Glorification, and not a bit of theological controversy can be read into it as...
