  • 1 Practicing Your Faith: Trust That You Are
    Practicing Your Faith: Trust That You Are Gifted 1 Corinthians 12 February 28, 2016 Rev. Pen Peery First Presbyterian Church, Charlotte, NC Throughout the past two weeks and for the next few weeks we have been talking about what it means…not just to talk about our faith, but to practice it. We’ve encouraged you to worship every chance you get, and to be a steward…or be generous. Today I am lifting up a third practice of faith: to trust that you are gifted. Another way to say this is the church needs you. That God intends for you to use your life in service, and so God had graced you with gifts. You have a role to play in the redemptive work of God’s story. So trust that you are gifted. Our scripture reading continues from Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth. I am reading from the 12th chapter: +++ Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers; then deeds of power, then gifts of healing, forms of assistance, forms of leadership, various kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? But strive for the greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way. +++ I’m good enough. I’m smart enough. And doggone it, people like me. Before he was a United States Senator from Minnesota, Al Franken played the character of Stuart Smalley on Saturday Night Live who signed off of his “Daily Affirmations” show with that quote.

This thesis examines if and how the Internet viewers of Saturday Night Live skits were influenced by the video skits. The viewers’ online comments were read, categorized and analyzed for content to explore and discuss how the viewers “read” the text of the online video skits. Each video in which candidates John McCain, Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama appeared is summarized and analyzed through viewers’ comments. A sample of skits including actors’ portrayals of McCain, Palin, Clinton, Obama and Joe Biden is also summarized and analyzed to find and discuss how the viewers’ perceptions were influenced by the portrayals.

    SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE AND PHILOSOPHY ffirs_UK.indd 1 08-01-2020 21:06:50 The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series Series editor William Irwin A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, and a healthy helping of popular culture clears the cobwebs from Kant. Philosophy has had a public relations problem for a few centuries now. This series aims to change that, showing that philosophy is relevant to your life—and not just for answering the big questions like “To be or not to be?” but for answering the little questions: “To watch or not to watch South Park?” Thinking deeply about TV, movies, and music doesn’t make you a “complete idiot.” In fact it might make you a philosopher, someone who believes the unexamined life is not worth living and the unexamined cartoon is not worth watching.
