By far the book of 2012 for me (it possibly has taken me 8 months to read it, I’m not great with history). Nevertheless, this book was phenominal and eye-opening. Debt: The First 5,000 Years…
Every once in a while I run into a snag with using cloud based technology or web based apps. Namely, the company that runs the software can make changes whenever they want and then you…
theStory is about 6 years old. It functions decently and is slowly being taken over by the community that it consists of. We no longer have a ‘senior pastor’ and the leadership team is taking…
I found this from something Mirosalv Volf shared tonight and thought it was jam packed with brilliance. It is the text of Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury and Primate of All England and the Anglican Communion,…
We have been in a series right now entitled Results May Vary. The idea being that even as we move along in our lives and understand what our role is that the results will always…
We finally got our write-up for our series finished and we left it up there when you were walking in just so you could get a grasp on what we are trying to do with…
I’ve now got a solid six years or so under my belt of preaching sermons to a pretty broad group of Christians at my home church in Sarnia. You can read all my sermons, as…
Sometimes I feel like there a choice to make between change and community. I don’t mean change ambiguously. I mean changing from good to bad, wrong to right, oppressing to liberating, lazy to productive, hateful…
One of the the things I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about and reading about lately is our worship service. I tend to do this and then start reading a lot of books,…
Harry, I’ll be honest, I’m not really sure where you were going with your e-mail. It seemed sort of scattered and lots of vast assumptions about what I believe. Nevertheless, I’ll do my best to…
There is a lot more to go, I’ve probably lost most of my readers by now, but I think it’s important for folks (especially in Sarnia) to see the circle this is going in. There…
We are entering in at Chapter 25 in Acts this morning. So there is a lot happening now in Acts. Paul is bound up in prison for at least two years. He is being used…
See More Art Installations… With the arrival guide of street preachers downtown theStory wanted to offer some lightheartedness and clarification to the situation. There was way too many folks asking us what was going on,…
Acts was written by Luke as a second part to the Gospel of Luke. Acts is chronicling the spread of the church from the Ascension of Jesus to following Paul around on his different missionary…
Nathan Thanks for email. You have given me much to respond to that I thought it best to send a portion of all I want to say.One reason for slow replies is that I type…
Harry, I’m glad we can do this on e-mail now. It was getting difficult for me to read your handwriting ;) I would like to try to keep our conversations to some order just so…
Harry (the Street Preacher) and I have officially moved to e-mail for our correspondence. Lots coming. Thanks again Nathan for your quick response. I do appreciate your response and your love and devotion to love others…
Harry, Thank-you for your response. I read your letter and I was a bit disappointed that you felt the need to compile biblical references. Not that references are bad, but rather I am trying to…
Below is the second response from the street preacher. I think by this point he’s getting a bit scattered and not able to articulate what he needs to say. What I do find most interesting…
I was happy to get a letter from Harry. To be honest, I’m disappointed at the inability of Christian leaders to carry on a conversation, be criticized and defend their beliefs in public. Generally the consensus from…
