This guy has pretty much summed up my church history. Sometimes it feels so good to know that I’m not alone. I probably could have written down those four steps that I quoted below word for word about five years ago. It is so good to see and read this out in the open. http://www.robbymac.org/charismatic/
Early Registration is almost over for the conference that we are running. We are about halfway to our limit, so ticket sales are moving along. If you need more info, just send us an e-mail. [email protected]
From my naïve, 21 year old perspective here is something I have noticed. Young kids, youth, and many young adults have nothing to lose. They live like death doesn’t exist. They live like someone exists who is on their side. They take chances. They live the life that they want. Then there are those that
Thinkerlabs is something that my friends have started up and are part of. It’s a network of people that think, kinda like a labratory. That’s my assumption. But really, its a great little project that combines the ideas of everyone involved and offers them free to anyone interested. With great packages full of free resources
I just finished watching Crash. It was a newer movie and it was confronting the racial situation in America. I really wasn’t prepared for what I saw, but nonetheless it made me think about stuff in a different perspective. The movie was incredibly directed and told about five or six different stories of different people
*Note* This is an extremely long post, and you probably won’t care much about it. It’s more posted for family members and those that wanted a summary of what went on. This past Christmas break I got to go on a cruise. It was my grandparents 50th anniversary and they treated their family along with
Tonight I went to the FRWY in Hamilton, a church that I’m growing to love more and more every time that I spend time with them. There was a panel discussion tonight and they were talking about the neighborhood where they are in that is rated the third most poverty-sicken neighborhoods in Canada. In talking
Because I love to procrastinate. I have re-designed my website. It was a time for a change. I was getting bored of black and well the design was pretty chauchy before. I’m happy with this one. There is still a number of bugs to be worked out. If you notice any, please comment or e-mail
I’m struggling with something lately. I’m trying to figure out what I would prefer. (and to note, maybe preference is the wrong word choice here, but I’m trying to find out what we think constitutes being a Christian or following Christ, not just what we like the most) A person who confesses Christ yet lives
Four Jobs I’ve Had Wendys (Flipping Hamburgers) Datatek (Building Computers) Churches (Trying to Preach) School (Overseeing Computers) Four Movies I Can Watch Over and Over I hate watching movies over and over but if i had to pick Gladiator Matrix Trilogy Rounders LOTR Four Places I’ve Lived Sarnia (actually Point Edward) Toronto ____ yet to
I decided not to post something about this until the elections were finished. But out of curiosity. Did you vote? Why? or Why not?
I just read an article by Dan Kimball that I thought was really good. It really affirmed and encouraged me about the upcoming church plant in Sarnia. You can read it for yourself by clicking on his name above (there is two posts about it, both have pictures of t-shirts), but I want to expand
I’ve been challenged by my friend Amanda Maurice to “to take a break from the Seriousness about church planting and engage the joke.” I cannot turn down a challenge. This blog can’t be all that serious. So I’ve been taggged. I need to state five weird habits of myself and then pass this on to
Addiction is one of those phrases that when we hear it we automatically think of nicotine and its ramifications on our pour great aunt who could never give up on her nasty habit. None of us really think that we have our own addictions; at the worst we’ll just call them habits that are on
I’m going home for the weekend for our first official church meeting for the new church that we are planting in Sarnia. This is a huge step for a lot of us seeing as Joe and Sarah are moving back to Sarnia all the way from Calgary. So Sat night is the night, 6pm at

This goes along with the post before it. I was reading the back of Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell (rated in my top 5 books read in 2005) and it resonated with me with what i was trying to get across. So apply the following quote to this blog. We have to test everything. I
I don’t think that I’ve seen or experienced as much criticism/encouragement in my life than in the past year and a little bit. So what changed that brought on so much opinion from everyone around me? Oct 2004 was when I started Fleeting Limelight (the name of my blog) at www.nathancolquhoun.com and since then my
Lately there seems to be some sort of program for everything that we do. There are programs for worshipping God, teaching the bible, serving the poor, being with the children, building community and taking communion. It seems to be the way of our culture to maximize and cookie-cut out something that should be natural into
