Can Christians utilize social media in a way that is pleasing and wholesome? Perhaps there is an existing model of this pleasing and wholesome lifestyle on social media. There are three common examples of Christian social media-users I have found on the majority of social media platforms. Let’s call these users eye openers, word readers, and hardy jokesters.

The eye openers pride themselves on having the job of informing the less-enlightened masses. They are focused on the world’s social problems (or rather only North America’s) and are more than happy to share their knowledge. They know how the world should run, and what would make it pleasing to both them and the LORD. To their credit, they do follow Jesus’ commandment to advocate for the poor and less fortunate. Their posts primarily center around advocating rights for immigrants and the homeless, promoting LGBT awareness, demanding equality for women and holding contempt for anyone who refuses to treat these people the same way. Unfortunately, seeing a barrage of these posts places viewers in a guilt trip. Whether viewers are guilty of disrespect or idle carelessness, the eye opener still wants them to feel ashamed. Even if the viewer does all the things the eye opener desires, the eye opener argues that the viewer is not doing nearly enough. This, however, disobeys Jesus’ commandment: eye openers are like the brother with a hideous log in their own eye, foolishly removing a minuscule speck from their brother’s eye (Matthew 7:3).

The word readers post only Bible verses, usually on cloudy landscapes or sunset beaches, and status updates on their current spiritual journey. They appear to delight in the word of the LORD, and keep themselves accountable for all the times they have strayed from it. An outsider’s perspective may interpret their posts as claiming they are on a higher level of spirituality than others. This is not always the case, as some people truly want to be held accountable for their actions, and have resolved to post one Bible verse a day, as a way of keeping their mind focused on Scripture. A person becomes a word reader when they only read the scriptures, drown out other posts people send them, and post their spiritual status for the sake of being followed. They fall into the trap of believing their faith is greater than the faith of others. Their prayers are not stronger or more important to God than those who shudder to mention their spirituality (Luke 18:9-14).

The hardy jokesters appreciate good Christian memes and post them on a regular basis. In a conversation, they may respond with a silly picture of Larry the Cucumber. They measure churches by their sense of humor. Any character or event in the Bible can be exploited for a joke. While these users posts with the intent to please their viewers, they do so with neglect for God’s Holy Word. Hardy jokesters are not above getting cheap laughs, even if they have to resort to foul language and underhanded insults. These people disobey God’s commandments to treat the Scriptures as sacred. They also use their words recklessly, and do not care who they may hurt or discourage (Proverbs 12:18).

It is clear these three common examples from social media are not honorable ways of using social media. A combination of all three could be used to please the LORD. A post that advocates for the weary and backs up its reasoning with scripture, but is written with the intent of bringing joy and good news to viewers would be an excellent way of using social media. The best way to post on social media is to treat it as any other aspect of the Christian lifestyle. All of a Christian’s actions should be done in a manner that does not conform to the world, but one that follows God’s “pleasing and perfect will” (Romans 12:2).

I knew a theatre director from Lansdale, Pa. who used to be a stagehand in professional productions. Though she teaches aspiring performers how to freely sing and dance their worries away, she does not want this life for herself. When her students asked her what kept her from becoming an actress, she told them she did not want to be overcome by the stress of auditioning.

No matter what profession a performer enters, they will have to go through the audition process. Here at Eastern University, audition season is approaching. Dancers begin rehearsing, the theatre production looks for actresses and actors, orchestras desire brilliant musicians to claim solos and sit in the first chair, and vocal groups around campus hope to discover new talent and beautiful voices. The best way of discovering talent and finding great performers is for a director to send applicants through the audition process. Directors carefully choose who they want in their production by screening all their applicants. Applicants usually come prepared with a brief performance, demonstrate their understanding of the material, and then they are told to leave. It is simple, yet strenuous.

All performers must endure auditions at one time in their life. It is a dreaded thing, like an overcast evening promising either clear skies or a stormy night. First is the waiting. Time enough for a performer’s mind to triple guess their lives and doubt their own existence. Next comes the performance. Everyone in the room transforms. Professors become bouncers, unemotional and evaluating with extreme prejudice. Students become prisoners, pleading for freedom from their mundane lives. Friends become rivals, biting at the heels of acquaintances. After the terror ends, a new psychological torture emerges: more waiting. “Will I get in?” “Why wouldn’t I get in?” “Where’s the email?” “Are they just running late?” “Was I not included because I failed?” Then finally comes an answer. Through a series of brief minutes between performers and directors, dreams are created and hopes are crushed.

This is, however, a worst case depiction of a natural and expected process. The audition is nothing worth fearing. It should not induce nightmares, or haunt students’ lives. There are simple ways to prepare for this stressful process and ultimately have a positive experience.

Auditioning students should treat all auditions as just a regular moment in their life. It is not the end-all determination of a student’s talent. There will be time and time again to audition.

Also, auditioning students should keep their mind open to both acceptance and rejection. Students should accept the role their director gives them, and be content with their gift to perform. Students should also be willing to embrace the possibility of rejection. Considering the answer in an audition is either yes or no, either option is plausible. While preparing for auditions it is best to err on the side of caution.

Lastly, and sadly, students should believe they will not get into the performance. This will prepare them for rejection in advance, and make them feel exceedingly more joyful should they get into the production.

I practice all three of these disciplines, and I have found that they improved my outlook on auditions. I am less nervous. I no longer fear my directors and fellow auditioners. I treat all group members during the audition with respect. I also do not get my hopes up for any particular role. I try to keep a level head when I do not get in a show. This new mindset has drastically changed how I interact with auditioners before an audition. I attended Eastern’s theatre interest meeting in August, and the majority of the students there asked me, “What role would I have in the play?” Even freshmen, who had not met me prior, asked me this without irony.

To my fellow performers, no matter what happens this audition season, know that a role does not define you. You are more than the parts you get or the parts you miss.

Do not be discouraged, and, if you believe in your art, do not give up. You are “fearfully and wonderfully made” by your adoring creator (Psalm 139: 14). He loves you, and He has a plan for you.

Violence and graphic content are simply natural in the world of media, TV, and film. Netflix recently released Adam Wingard’s Death Note, a story based an anime wherein the main protagonists goal is to kill/murder/punish the criminals of the Earth and become a god among those still living. HBO’s Game of Thrones’ Season 7 finale featured armies set on fire, and decapitation, yet it received mostly positive reviews. Should violence and graphic content have a place in the media world?

The depiction of violence in film could not only advance a plot, but also be used as a story motif. In The French Connection, Popeye Doyle, like the drug addicts he ridicules and eliminates, needs his fix of violence. By the film’s conclusion, Popeye only cares about taking down his man, and disregards anyone who gets in his path.

A protagonist can also avoid violence. In Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge Private Desmond Doss is a WWII conscientious objector who will not carry a gun, because God’s word says it is a sin to take another life. Instead he joins his brothers on the battlefield as a medic, and he saves the lives of 75 American and Japanese soldiers.

There are, however, films which depict graphic violence as something which should be sought after and is worthy of praise. In Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, insomniac Travis Bickle trains himself to become a cold blooded killer to purge his steam filled streets of dogs and criminals. In the film’s climax, Travis shoots off a man’s fingers, murders three others, and rescues his lover, Iris. Surprisingly, the newspapers hail his actions as heroic, and Iris’ family thanks him for his bravery.

The avoidance of violence can also be shown as a detriment. In Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now Captain Willard begins the film wallowing in misery, yearning for another chance to get back to the jungles of Vietnam. When arrives back in the jungles and begins taking life again, the color slowly returns to his face and his mind quiets.

All of these films are rated R for depicting violence and graphic content, yet they are also revered pieces of cinema. Each one of these films clearly demonstrates that not only does violence and graphic content have a place in the media world, but it can also be used to create great cinematic art. In this case, perhaps a better question is, “concerning graphic content and violence in media, how far is too far?”

This is a personal preference. Some people can see gallons of fake blood in one movie and still have room for seconds, while others cannot stand watching a slap fight in a family film. The morally minded viewer will use their mind, and observe what lessons the motif teaches.

The French Connection shows violence as a downward spiral that only leads to suffering. Hacksaw Ridge illustrates violence as an unnecessary means, when compassion is a far stronger action. Taxi Driver reveres graphic and disturbing murder, mirroring audience’s dark internal desires. Apocalypse Now submerges viewers into a horrifying world of bloodshed and genocide, illustrating devastating souls without morals or conscience. From a moralistic view, these films illustrate violence as an inhumane, and self destructing desire. They employ graphic violence in fiction to fight against it in reality.

Dear Freshmen:

Let me be the 25th or even 62nd person to tell you, “Welcome to Eastern University!” Here at Eastern University, one of the most visually beautiful places in Pennsylvania, we have a wide range of facilities to offer you. We have one library, one theatre stage, two observatories, two gyms, and four sports fields. We also have a dining commons and the Breezeway, if you want more food. Every edge of our campus is easily accessible from the residence halls. All it takes is ten minutes of walking, and crossing no less than one bridge. I’m sure you will enjoy your college experience here at Eastern University.

Alright, congratulations to you (yes you) who is still reading this. You are about to receive some great tips on how to make your years here at Eastern University that much better. Let me start with classes, and how to prepare for them. Always have extra paper. The professors here love to make the students write, so it would makes sense to have paper for you to write on, right? You don’t have to buy (or rent) any novels or fictional reading for any of your classes. The campus library definitely has enough paper copies of Frankenstein, Candide, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. The library also has older copies of textbooks, and two reserve copies of the INST 150 infamously famous Faith Unraveled. Lastly, if you have a question in class, ask your professor immediately. You will gain insight on the class topic, offer knowledge to your fellow classmates, and possibly change a professor’s disposition to the topic. Few things here are more satisfying than hearing that your comment or question has permanently affected the way the professor teaches the course.

Let’s talk facilities. The library, as mentioned earlier, is one of the greatest places on campus. It contains books, articles, and student papers on any subject or course you will take. The media room, located on the third floor past the computers, contains a myriad of over 1,000 DVDs. It’s a diverse collection of revered classics, fan favorites, memorable blockbusters, movies so bad they are good, and foreign masterpieces you do not yet know about, but soon will never forget.

The dining commons is not only a great place to socialize with friends and strangers, but it also occasionally serves edible food. If you keep an eye out for delicacies, you will never have to partake of our poor excuse for pizza. On Friday mornings, get a freshly made omelette from Dave. If you get noodles with nothing on them, go over to the salad bar, put cheese and bacon on it, and place it in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds. This trick also works on most of the food. Also, check out the desserts early, because the best items vanish fast.

Travel around campus is also difficult. It helps to think of campus as a triangle. There are the dorms (Gallup, Gough, Hainer, Kea-Guffin) the classrooms and the Dining commons, and Eagle and Sparrowk. Walking from one end of the triangle to another should take about ten minutes (15-20 if you are social, 30 if you stop and watch the turtles). Most of the hidden shortcuts are not faster than the paths. These shortcuts often spit you out at the bizarrest of places on campus, and they are not helpful for triangular travel. They are, however, incredibly useful in cut-throat games of Humans vs. Zombies. Lastly, while you are walking, make sure to say “hello.”

If you keep this information in mind, it will improve your stay here at Eastern University by at least 75 percent. If you have any more questions, please email me at the link in the title above.

During these last few weeks of studying and test-taking, sometimes you need some motivation, entertainment and empathy. In order to get any of those things, you might have to leave your studying space, or you might stop studying altogether. With this playlist of finals music, you won’t have to stop studying or find a new study space in order to feel motivated and entertained and have empathy. This playlist is designed to be heard in three parts. The first part offers motivation for studying. The second part offers entertainment because everyone needs to enjoy their tribulations. The last part offers empathy because maybe life is too much to handle, and you just need someone to say, “I know, I feel you.”

MOTIVATION

“Gonna Fly Now”—Bill Conti (Nothing motivates more than the montage music from “Rocky.”)

“Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger”—Daft Punk (Let these adjectives inspire you to follow suit.)

“Go the Distance”—Alan Menken (No matter what’s happening, it can be conquered.)

“My Shot”—Lin-Manuel Miranda (You’ve got a big exam tomorrow, so don’t throw away your shot.)

ENTERTAINMENT

“Uptown Funk”—Bruno Mars (Lift your spirits, sing along and “girls, hit your hallelujah.”)

“10 Feet”—Joelle Doriani (Created by a music major here at Eastern, this fun and catchy tune offers a glimpse into the simple joys and exciting life of stalking [you can find it on SoundCloud].)

“Mr. Blue Sky”—Electric Light Orchestra (Tomorrow is another beautiful day, so make sure to enjoy it.)

EMPATHY

“So Lonely”—The Police (So many hours of studying, you can start to feel so lonely.)

“Sorry Bre” (nightcore)—Andrew Hutmire (Created by a student here at Eastern, this is for when you need to say you’re sorry to someone named Bre for not hanging out with them, because you spent the whole day studying [you can find this song on SoundCloud].)

“Car Radio”—Twenty One Pilots (Sometimes you just need an existential crisis.)

“A Million Miles Away”—Alan Menken (When work becomes too much, just imagine yourself somewhere a million miles away.)

It’s an exquisite estate. Historic houses and barns are strewn across its 311 acres. Its prize-winning cattle and horses still roam the land. This is the Ardrossan Farm in the heart of Radnor Township. After over 100 years of operations, this icon of the Main Line is being sold off and downsized.

Once measuring over 800 acres, the Ardrossan Farm was built between the years 1911 and 1913, which makes the property 104 years old. Now the 311-acre farm is being subdivided and sold off. The division of this great estate is a reminder of how farm life is quickly becoming an era from the past.

Some aspects of this amazing estate will remain historically preserved. An article from Main Line Today states, “The cut-stone walls that line the front of the Villanova property haven’t budged. Nor has the famous stone water tower on Newtown Road or the stone balustrade surrounding the front courtyard.”

According to Main Line Today, “renowned architect Horace Trumbauer designed the three-story, 38,000-square-foot, 50-room baronial brick Georgian Revival structure.” This iconic mansion will remain standing on the property.

Incidentally, this mansion and the Ardrossan Farm were the main inspiration for the 1940 Oscar-winner “The Philadelphia Story.” The film’s main setting was an extravagant farm, inspired by the Ardrossan Farm. The movie encapsulates the Main Line society of the 20th century. The film features stars Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart. According to the article from Main Line Today, “it’s been said that Hepburn’s Tracy Lord was inspired by the Montgomerys’ first daughter, Helen Hope Montgomery Scott.” In time she became known as “the preeminent symbol of Philadelphia’s Main Line society.” With the subdivision of Ardrossan, the society portrayed in “The Philadelphia Story” vanishes.

The estate is being divided into separate housing developments. Main Line Media News states, “Edgar ‘Eddie’ Scott III, one of the heirs to the Montgomery Scott family, who is handling the sale of the property, told the planning commissioners that the change from 19 building lots to six 10-acre lots in that 85.5-acre piece of the property would continue to maintain more than the 15-percent open space required by the previously-approved conditional use plan.”

Building was approved and has begun on this section of the former farm. Radnor Township is seeking to save a portion of the land to be a park. Seventy-one acres were bought by the township for $11.6 million. If you desire to see the iconic estate before it’s developed, take a drive over to Newtown Road in Radnor.

On March 30, the Philadelphia Museum of Art announced they are undergoing a $196-million expansion. Home to over 240,000 pieces of artwork and the cinematically-famous Rocky steps, the Philadelphia Museum of Art attracts visitors from around the world. It is an internationally-known landmark. Recently, the museum began implementing their plan for renovating, known as the Core Project. The entire project will be headed by renowned-architect Frank Gehry, whom Vanity Fair identifies as “the most important architect of our age.” In an interview with 6ABC News, Gehry states that he “spent more than a decade studying the bones of the building, designing a way to keep the original architects’ vision, which came to life in 1928.”

The Morning Call states this renovation “is the most extensive reworking of the museum’s interior in its 90-year history and combines much-needed infrastructure improvements with a reorganization of circulation through the building.” This new renovation is set not only to add new space to the museum, but also to open up previously-closed sections. The museum will reopen sections that have not been open in over 50 years.

The Morning Call adds that these new additions “will add 90,000 square feet of space, including 67,000 square feet of new public space and more than 23,000 square feet of new gallery space for its rich holdings of American art and contemporary art and a newly-designed restaurant, café and meeting rooms.”

This new expansion will showcase a larger amount of the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s collection. More impressive than this renovation is how soon it will be completed. Current first-year students attending Eastern will be able to visit the newly-renovated museum by the time they are seniors. According to 6ABC News, Gehry’s expansion is expected to be completed by the year 2020.

Philadelphia Arrows

The Arrows, created in the autumn of 1927, were Philadelphia’s first professional ice hockey team. The Arrows had little promise, coming in last place in both of their first two seasons. The Arrows got pointed in a new direction when WWI veteran Herb Gardiner became their head coach. The Arrows finished in second place, and the next year, they came in second to last. In their 1932-33 season, the Arrows finished the regular season in first place, which earned them a spot in the playoffs. The Arrows then went on to lose the finals to the Boston Cubs. Considering the team could only come in second or last place, they changed their name to the Ramblers. Perhaps their diametrically pointed lifestyle might change if the name implied they had more freedom to roam. The Ramblers made it to their finals for two out of their next three years. However, they lost both times. The Ramblers then named themselves the Rockets, perhaps hoping they would start to shoot for the moon, but instead they ran out of fuel in 1942 and disbanded.

Philadelphia Stars

Before Jackie Robinson was portrayed by Chadwick Boseman in “42,” he was the first professional African-American baseball player. Before that, baseball was segregated. Philadelphia’s Negro League team were the Philadelphia Stars. The Stars became a part of the League in 1934, and they swept the rest of the teams. With their incredible pitcher, Stuart “Slim” Jones, and future Hall of Fame hitters, Jud Wilson and Biz Mackey, the Stars defeated the Chicago American Giants and won the 1934 National Negro League Championship. Things went from great to terrible when the Jones died of pneumonia in 1938. The team later drifted into obscurity, as there are few records of the Negro Leagues in historical texts.

Philadelphia Bell

The Philadelphia Bell team was founded in 1974, and they were a popular football team. In their first away game at JFK Stadium they attracted an audience of 55,000 fans, and they won with a 33-8 victory against the Portland Storm (another forgotten football team). Though they were not known for their skill, the Philadelphia Bell were known for their fluctuations in ticket sales. At one home game they had a crowd of 64,719. Two weeks later, they had a crowd of only 12,396 fans. This happened because the Bells were handing out tens of thousands of cheap discounted tickets to local businesses. When it was time for the League to pay taxes on those tickets, the price of tickets went up, and only 13,855 and 6,200 fans came to their next two games. A few days later, president Jack Kelly resigned from the team. The Bells never recovered from this scandal, which is referred to as “papergate.”

When I was four years old, ABC Family aired a new claymation film known as “The Miracle Maker.” The film depicts the powerful true story of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. My soul sings for the King every time he triumphantly enters Jerusalem, yearns for Judas every time he betrays his master, cries out when it sees my Savior dying for my transgressions and rejoices each time Mary sees the resurrected Jesus Christ with her own eyes.

When I think of Easter, I think of Jesus cleansing sinners from their sin. A common metaphor heard is “wiping the slate clean.” But recently, I’ve learned that the hope of Easter is more than Jesus cleansing us from our sins. At a recent college morning group gathering at Church of the Saviour the group leader handed out a chart focusing on the Gospel as seen through the angles of guilt, shame and fear. This chart was inspired by Jayson Georges’ book “The 3D Gospel.” These three angles of the Gospel appeal to various cultures around the world and bring about a wholeness to God’s Word when they are placed together.

The angle of guilt addresses God as a judge. It shows the first sin as the first breaking of God’s law. This shows salvation as receiving Jesus as your personal savior and acknowledging that through Him your sins are forgiven. The angle of shame addresses God as a father and patron. Here, the first sin is the first sign of dishonoring one’s patron and being cast out from a family. Salvation comes through allegiance with Jesus in order to re-enter God’s family. The third angle, fear, addresses God as the divine ruler and deliverer. The first sin is an act of insubordination, which led to death and vulnerability. Salvation is knowing Jesus to access his divine power. As a generality, the angle of guilt appeals mainly to European cultures, shame appeals to Asian cultures and fear resonates with audiences in the Middle East and Africa. All three angles are true, and all need to be acknowledged, in order to fully understand the good news of salvation.

I have seen countless examples of one of these angles maintaining precedence in a church. When I hear sermons about Jesus healing the guilty lame man by forgiving his sins and commanding him to get up and walk, I do not hear why it is important we acknowledge Jesus forgiving sins. Most of the time, the congregation knows why it is important for Jesus to forgive sins, because we know and recite that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23, NIV). When we hear a sermon about Jesus healing a man inflicted with leprosy, the pastor will often take time to explain the historical significance behind Jesus, a clean man, touching a leper, a shameful, unclean sinner. We also take time to explain the magnificence of God’s power and Jesus’ miracles, as most of us in the church have grown too accustomed to hearing these stories.

After hearing this angle of the gospel, my eyes opened up to a new perspective on Easter. The Bible’s message of salvation and the hope of Easter is not just written for one generation. It’s not even for one culture. Its inerrant words universally impact people across our world. With this in mind, I look forward to partaking in my favorite Easter tradition, but now with a new perspective.

The brand-new Museum of the American Revolution will shortly open its doors to the public and invite people from all walks of life to view its vast collections of historical artifacts and icons of America’s legacy. The museum will open on April 19, the anniversary of the “shot heard round the world,” the first shots of the American Revolution fired at Lexington, Massachusetts. Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden will speak at the grand opening.

According to Philly.com, “the opening ceremony’s events will begin April 19 at 8 a.m., with a ribbon-cutting scheduled for 10:30 a.m. in the Museum’s outdoor plaza. Prior to the ribbon-cutting, the ceremony will feature an opening program that runs from Washington Square to Independence Hall.”

R. Scott Stephenson, the vice president of Collections, Exhibitions and Programming at the museum, has been planning for this building’s opening for 10 years. Back when it was an idea on paper, he knew it would be a tremendous collection of history and legacy. In an interview with CBS Philadelphia, Stephenson says, “I think it’s going to be like no experience anyone has ever had.”

The museum will feature thousands of historic artifacts, the likes of which were not previously displayed in other museum collections. Among these rare pieces is a British Coat of Arms for King George III. Vice President Stephenson says, “These symbols of the crown were literally pulled off of the walls, were paraded through towns [and] were thrown on to bonfires as an iconoclastic destruction of the King.”

In addition to this, according to PennLive.com, the museum will feature interactive exhibits, an immersive simulation of the sights and sounds heard from inside a war tent, a war at sea section featuring a boardable ship and sections on African-American, French and Native American heroes from the war. The museum will also be the site of a most-cherished artifact: George Washington’s headquarters tent. According to the article posted on pennlive.com, “Washington used this tent starting in 1776 after the siege of Boston.”

Upon the museum’s opening, Philadelphia’s Old City district will have another uniquely historic attraction, and similar to its companions the Museum of the American Revolution is expected to draw thousands every year.
