Malex Minute, Macbeth, and Future Shrew Taming
First, please allow me to congratulate our faithful friends at The Malex Media Network™ on the launch of the MalexMinute.com, at http://malexminute.com/ . The Malex Minute launched this weekend to celebrate the Malex Minute's first birthday. Visit and enjoy a little healthy laughter and free, clean and clever audio entertainment. Imagine the Marx brothers, only updated to the 21st century and minus unsavory innuendos. Note that the illustrations at the Malex Minute are top rate, adding an extra dimension to the experience for those of us who are visually oriented. The Markley Brothers (responsible for this madness) "often poke fun at politics and the entertainment industry while simultaneously satirizing whatever happened to us at the grocery store last week. It's so exciting! We've even been known to bring in various people and interview them! (Failing that, we occasionally corner various people and interview them - an exhilarating, albeit frequently unsatisfactory solution.)"
I recommend using the Malex Minute to help you recover from reading tragedy such as Shakespeare's Macbeth, which we studied in our Analyzing Literature class last week. We explored invigorating discussion questions, such as "Can the devil speak true?" If you would like to weigh in and post your comments, click the comments button, below.
We plan to watch and discuss "The Taming of the Shrew" on March 23, at our house. On the subject of shrews and submission, The Values-Driven Family, at http://www.valuesdrivenfamily.com/core_value_verses.htm , is offering a free "comprehensive compilation of Bible verses and case studies from the Word organized by themes to help you model and teach the values that God values... You will see from reviewing these documents that there is little doubt that these twelve core values are certainly of great value to God." The authors, referring to 1 Corinthians 12:14-16, state that "Submission doesn't make one person "better" than another, just different roles."
As they used to say, “Stay tuned…”

On the question of whether or not Satan can speak the truth: The Bible tells us in John 8:44 that when the devil lies, "he speaks his native language" (NIV). Now, my native language is English, but I learned to speak some Chinese a little while ago. I never got fluent with it because I didn't use it often enough for that. So when I spoke Chinese, it took some effort on my part. I was however able to deliver a few phrases so well that I impressed native speakers with my inflection. On one notable occasion, I fooled a native speaker who was not looking at me. Because my comment was short and well delivered, he thought I was Chinese until he saw my plainly non-Chinese features.
We can be fooled by Satan the same way. He can deliver a few well rehearsed truths with not a trace of an accent. But the longer he goes on, the more he slips into his native language - lies. Speaking the truth is taxing for him and he will only do it briefly. Just long enough to put you off your guard...
