With a woman to look at culture from a Christian worldview on John Stone Street with the point,

Russell Brands' brand is crass British actor comedian and free thinker, however, he recently

offered a quite profound take on the Ten Commandments human nature and contemporary culture.

Quote, when it says in the Old Testament, worship no other gods than me, the implication

is that we're a species that worships.

If you do not access the divine, you'll worship the profane, you'll worship your own identity,

you'll worship your belongings, you'll worship the template laid before you buy a culture

that once you do remain dumb.

Well, wow.

You know, John Calvin called the human heart a perpetual factor of idols, and St. Augustine

wrote that the human heart remains restless until it finds rest in the one who made us.

Pascal talked about a godshade pole we all have, and that we're always trying to fill.

I just did not expect Russell Brand to join that list of keen observers of human nature,

but let's hope that God is grabbing a hold of his heart.

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street.
