Are you the Key Master?

Ghostbusters, Gozer, and Jesus

This past week I made my Mockingbird Ministries debut. The article, titled Are You the Key Master, explores John 10 from the angle of my favorite movie franchise.

Here’s a preview:

If you have never watched Ghostbusters, do not worry because grace abounds and there is still time for you to watch this cinematic marvel of the 1980s. The Gate Keeper (played by Sigourney Weaver) and the Key Master (played by Rick Moranis) must get to know each other in a “biblical way” so that Gozer the Gozarian can return and conquer the world.

Two scenes highlight this relationship.

First, Peter Venkman (played by Bill Murray) arrives at Dana Barrett’s apartment for their scheduled date to find her possessed by one of Gozer’s minions. She asks him, “Are you the Key Master?” Later, Louis Tully runs around New York City looking for the Gate Keeper. Long story short, these two eventually find one another, Gozer returns with plans to destroy the world, and the Ghostbusters must cross the streams to save the day.

As a five-year-old child, I did not understand the “adult” undertones of the Gate Keeper and Key Master getting together, but you can believe that now as I watch this film with my children, I am squirming inside of my head.

Are you the Gate Keeper? Are you the Key Master? The Gate Keeper leads to Gozer, who will run amuck on the Big Apple and destroy humanity.

Head over to Mockingbird and check out the rest of the article, and be sure to let them know how much you enjoyed it!
