A Community of Faith for the Generations 'M Y A NTI- Z OMBIE G UARANTEE"- BY P ASTOR MONTY N EWTON I was so relieved this week when I ran across an ad for a Zombie- proof log cabin with a 10-year anti- zombie guarantee. T h e a d assured zombie-proof log cabin dwellers that they will hear "the horrifying groans. Decaying hands scrabble at the door, trying to find a way i n . T h e y w a n t t o e a t you. You sit down on the sofa, kick your feet up and open a can of Spam. No worries. Y o u a r e inside a Zombie Fortification Cabin from Tiger Log Cab- ins. A l l y o u have t o d o now is wait in safety and comfort f o r t h e zombie apocalypse to blow over." It is quite the layout including a rooftop deck for gardening and obser- vation. It comes with a base price of $113,000 with additional upgrades like installation, security cameras, solar panels, a water cannon, search lights and a f l a m e t h r o w e r . Perhaps the greatest glitch in t h e w h o l e deal is the 10-year guaran- tee. If the zombies get into your zom- bie-proof cabin, it is unlikely there will be anyone left to complain. But just supposing they do get i n . . . O n e satirist posed this question f o r w e w h o follow Christ: If zombies do rise up one dark night what d o w e do? "Do w e t r y t o convert them to Christianity o r d o w e grab Uncle Barney's shotgun..." There must be something to this zombie thing. This is t h e 5 i h Sea- son for AMCs Walking Dead series. And on October 1 8 t h e Denver marked the 9* Annual Zombie Crawl with 7,300 zombies crawling about t h e 1 6 th Street Mall in downtown Denver. This fasci- nation with zombies m u s t m e a n some- thing. Stephen Carter recently wrote in the Bloomberg View o f a conversa- tion he had with a bright young woman he and his wife met i n a phone store. She happened to mention how excited she was about t h e n e w Walking Dead season. When they asked h e r w h y , she went on to tell them that s h e a n d her generation watch it "because it's true." She said s h e a n d h e r generation were living that life of fear. It i s n o t t h e zombie stuff that is true but the true life they are living i s a loss of faith in gov- ernment and authority and the sense that a societal collapse with ensuing chaos and anarchy is inevitable and... young people will have to look o u t f o r themselves. I recently s a w a n advert i n a professional journal for preaching re- sources on Fear. T h e a d stated, "People are afraid... very afraid." Though I am pretty much a casual ob- server it does seem that we are being inundated with all manner of end of the world or apocalyptic scenarios that play into an ever growing pessimism and fear. D r . J o h n Ulrich, Professor of English at Mansfield University and expert on zombie lore says, "At its most elementary level, the zombie repre- sents our fear of death." Picking u p o n that thought, self-proclaimed atheist Stephen Marche wrote i n a n Esquire Culture Blog, "Why Zombies Are Every- where,"... materialistic atheism, for all its advantages, does not provide a very comforting way to deal with the dead. Christians have prayer and visions of an afterlife. Pagans have ghosts and spirit ancestors with whom one can negotiate. Atheists like myself have rotting corpses and oblivion. And zom- bie movies." I think Stephen Marche is onto something. It seems I've read something about that... "There are bodies in the heavens and bodies on the earth, The glory of the heavenly bodies is different from the glory of earthly bodies. Our earthly bodies are planted i n t h e ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever. Our earthly bodies are buried in broken- ness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness but they will be raised in strength. They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. "For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. A n d w e who are living will also be transformed. F o r o u r dying earthly bodies must be trans- formed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies." I Corinthians 15:42-53 So it is... we who place our hope in the risen Christ have nothing to fear and no need for a Zombie Fortifi- cation Cabin from Tiger Log Cabin.
