I’m thinking/planning on submitting this to the local Sarnia newspaper in repsonse to all the poorly written letters lobbying for prayer to be brought back into the schools. Let me know what you think. If you think I should say something I’m not or take out something I shouldn’t say or any other comments. With […]
One of Aaron‘s best friends, Phil Nellis, has been drawing some art lately, and I think it is extremely well done. Here is one that I posted below. You can check out his other paintings here. A lot of them are for sale and such I beleive. Or some others in his series below. Dirt
This is a sweet video that really emphasizes the beauty of creation and how intricate it is. Great clip to show at some sort of event I’d think. It’s kind of long, but I think the length really makes it. ———————– There is a website that just started up in reaction to the terrorist threats
Brian McLaren has a letter that he sent out to the Emergent folk that I just read that sort of hits me closely with a lot of this revival talk and more specificaly my post. Read the whole letter here, it was really well done I thought. Here are some quotes. If I were to
My best friend, since I was four years old, Phil put up a wicked post on his experiences with youth ministry in the past and where he is now. He explains what it was like in our church in Sarnia and why it worked then and why it won’t work now and then goes into
I got to share a little message at the FRWY this weekend. So I thought I would put up some points on here. We are doing the month on the prophet Jonah, each month is a different chapter and I was in charge of chapter one. I began by pointing out that Jonah wasn’t just
So I stumbled across this website through a new blog I’ve been reading and I thought it was pretty funny. The website is called Church Marketing sucks, and you assume that its a bash on that the church does marketing, but in fact its nothing of the sort. It’s simply about how church needs better
While I was home for a few days, I got a chance to go under the bridge for fries. That probably sounds weird to anyone who doesn’t live in Sarnia. What that means is I got to partake in the most heavenly french fries ever cooked in one of the most beautiful and relaxing places
I just finished reading a book called The Younger Evangelicals by Robert Webber. I really appreciated this book. All my life I have butt heads with the traditional church and with a lot of people who were in leadership over me. I haven’t been able to understand them and they don’t understand me. I usually
One of my closest friends, Jon Eastman has been having quite a rough year. His brother died a few months ago, and his dad passed away yesterday. His dad has been fighting off cancer in his brain for quite a time now, going through multiple surgeries. Jon’s dad was one of the most genuine and
Acts 2:38-47 (The Message) Cut to the quick, those who were there listening asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers! Brothers! So now what do we do?” Peter said, “Change your life. Turn to God and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, so your sins are forgiven. Receive the gift
To shift the attention off one church for a little while. Last year I interned at Temple Baptist Church in Sarnia working with the staff there. It was a great summer where I learned a lot. I designed a website last summer for them and they finally got it up this week. Mike Raiger, one
This was a great (but extremly long) article on Pentecost and comparing it with the Tower of Babel and all kinds of other great parrallels between the Old Testament and the New Testament.
Thanks Tom. Here is the latest article on the faith healer in Sarnia from the Revival. See a review/open letter I posted here. Complete with a picture. Click Here Read/Post Comments
The “person” I live with Pernell has a serious back problem. His wife doesn’t know what to do, she posts her agony here. The good part is he is a lot nicer to me, the bad part is I am twice the bitch I once was. ———————– A friend of mine Maria has posted about
Effects of the revival are being leaked into the city. My neighbour who I grew up with is one of the main journalists for the Sarnia Observer and I just found out that she is following some of the leads on the revival. See a open letter/review that I wrote a review/open letter posted here.
The deeper I get into indulging into kingdom talk and understanding what the kingdom of God is all about, the more I feel like I’m going back to being a little kid living in the realm of opposite day. I’m sure we all remember what that was like; when our yes meant no and we
After speaking to a number of people that I respect regarding the previous post on the Sarnia Revival, I’ve come to believe that some of the things I said were not said gracefully, or at the very least could easily be misinterpreted as ungraceful. I want to publicly, like I wrote the original post, apologize
We just had a picnic at the Buceks for the FRWY and I didn’t move much and just took a bunch of pictures trying out both lenses and different settings. Krista let me try out a few of her lenses also and taught me a whole bunch of things that I’m excited to put into
Andrew linked to a good article on The Freedom from Quiet Time Guilt. This was something that for about ten years of my life was heaped on me. I never did enough quiet time. I even heaped this guilt on the youth that I was teaching to, but never did myself. I liked this article.
