Epistemology

“The world reaches our eye upside down, and yet we see it the other way around in our mind. Epistemology is in the Eye of the Beholder. Kepler sorted out our physical optics: the image to reach the retina is upside down.”

Title track from the upcoming live worship album, “A New Hallelujah“, available October 28th, 2008. You’ll see the African Childrens Choir singing along in the video. Perhaps there are a few souls looking for hope after the financial troubles of the past week. This is “A New Hallelujah” – not Jeff Buckley’s  Hallelujah, or Handel’s grand old Hallelujah.

Hallelujah—means “Praise the LORD!” The word is made by putting together two Hebrew words: Hallelu (meaning “praise”) and Yah (for the name of God, “Yahweh,” or “the LORD”). Hallelujah is also the title of the Hollywood’s first all black film, produced in 1929 (the same year that Dr. Martin Luther King was born). Another interesting connection – October 28, 1929 was Black Monday in the stock market crash leading up to the Great Depression.

Look for A New Hallelujah, coming out on October 28, 2008.

I listened to a lecture by Dr. Hugh Ross this morning, about the origin of the universe.  Perry Marshall packaged up the lecture on a nice web page, with PDF and MP3 for you to download.
