Save Joshua House
This week I did something I have never done before, and I am so glad I did. After hearing about the plans to close Joshua House on the news, I was livid. Having volunteered at Joshua House and seen first hand the results of the work accomplished there I was compelled to take action in…
A Lamp and a Light
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105 NKJ About a week ago, Psalm 119:105 was referenced in a sermon I heard, and several questions immediately came to mind that had never occurred to me before. Why does the psalmist refer to both a lamp and a…
Order, Chaos, and Free Will
God created a perfect universe out of nothing. That the universe is perfect is undeniable, from the balance of nature here on earth to the rhythm and movement of the stars in the sky, it plays like a symphony without error, until we introduce ourselves into the equation.
Some Radical Thoughts on Holy Communion
I have attended and received Communion in churches of many denominations, and there is no shortage of opinions. Opinions about who is eligible to receive, opinions about whether it is a representation or miraculously becomes the actual body and blood of Christ when we partake, and opinions about how often one should receive the elements…. And guess what… I have a rather radical opinion of my own, but I will spring that on you a little later
Effectively Selling the Gospel
A friend recently gave me a suggestion to write about how to explain God to someone that has had no religious experience as we know it. I pondered this subject for about a week before it struck me that the question that was troubling me was actually a bit broader. My question was “Why are…
“One Like a Son of Man” Revisited
The parallel imagery we find in Daniel and The Revelation are striking, but there has been one phrase troubling me for months as I completed a study of Daniel, then another in The Revelation. I recently wrote about the interpretation of the phrase “one like a son of man” in Daniel 7:13, but was having…
Worship Interrupted
It all boils down to keeping a “God view” on our daily activities and responding to every interaction with a consciousness that God is always there with us. It will change the way we think and do things, and it will bring blessings into our lives.
Lessons from “a Son of Man”
I recently read a commentary on Daniel’s Dream of the Four Beasts (Daniel 7:1-28) and was awestruck at the way the author described verse 13 as Daniel witnessing Christ being glorified by God in the presence of the heavenly multitude, five hundred and fifty some odd years before the sojourn of Jesus on the…
The Changing Face of Web Ministry
Web Ministry – The Humble Beginnings Back in the day… well actually not that long ago, the internet was new and we marvelled at how cool it was to be able to email instead of snail mail. At first it was small businesses that kick started personal use of computers, but as personal computers became…
A Beautiful Thing Happened On the Way to the Benediction
Sometimes we are so caught up in worldly things that we just can’t see the beautiful thing God is doing in the midst of it. Today I witnessed one of these beautiful moments when everything came together with perfection only God can offer, but even in the midst of it, the enemy was doing his best to beat those being blessed down and cause them to miss their blessing.
