Well, this should be intresting. Two close friends of mine both started up Blogs within a 24 hour time slot. Maybe they will compete and see who can post the most. Or maybe they are just doing it because I wrote an article in the last Canon 25 about Blogs and how everyone is doing […]

Thought this might be interesting. Bryan McLaren, T.D. Jakes, The Lahayes (Tim and Beverly, you know the Left Behind series) and Franklin Graham were on Larry King live the other night. This is the transcript. It was really interesting, I just love McLaren even more after watching this, i was impressed a lot with Jakes

I’m going to stray off topic for one post because tonight was a good night and I thought I would share a little bit of it. Tonight I went to the Embassy, it’s the University of Waterloo church. I think it’s one of my favourite churches in Ontario that I’ve been to. Anyway, Brandon, the

I updated the top menu a bit. I changed the last link to a design portfolio style of page. Looking to help pay for school by keeping up designs and stuff for different businesses and ministries. If you know anyone who needs a website or poster or anything designed put them in contact with me

My friend Lindsey Minaker from Tyndale has a CD out. I got it from her yesterday and I’m quite impressed. She wrote all these songs, so I thought I’d put one online for everyone to listen to. If you like it contact me [email protected] and you can get your own CD. I uploaded one of

Last night I watched a really interesting movie. It was called The Village. It’s this story of this group of people who decided to seclude themselves off in a village and create their own little world. The people who started the village were extremely rich and paid the country to not allow planes to fly

The concept of freedom is a funny one, and I think it’s something that one needs to be careful of before agreeing with. When one becomes saved Christians believe that they are free. This is understood because of verses like Romans 8:21, Galations 5:21, James 1:25. Many charismatics usually take these verses to mean that

I’m reading a book right now called A Generous Orthodoxy by Bryan McLaren. It is probably one of the coolest ideas for a book I know, and he is one of my favourite authors. The headline for the book is this: WHY I AM A missional + evangelical + post/protestant + liberal/conservative + mystical/poetic +

“Oh my God” is typically a phrase that a lot of Christians will look down upon, it’s right up there with “Jesus Christ.” When we hear it most of us Christians cringe because they are using God’s name in vain, something the bible condemns quite frequently. Personally, I think we as Christians focus way too

My ex-youth pastor, now friend, who lives in Calgary, Dom Ruso married to Bev Ruso, (formerly Prendergast) working with Joe Manafo, wrote an article in the Youth Specialties Journal. It’s about youth ministry, and the leader’s studying and having a theology. It’s a great article. Check it out. http://www.youthspecialties.com/articles/topics/theology/oxymoron.php

This entry is inspired by my uncle who challenged me in my faith more than anyone else I know. It’s easy as Christians to get caught up in all the political mess that the churches have created, and even easier to get caught up in ourselves and our own issues and making everything about ourselves

Hey everyone, I threw together a website for my magazine at the school. It’s Tyndale’s student magazine that i’m the editor and designer for. So you can read all the articles and stuff that are put in. Enjoy! www.nathancolquhoun.com/Canon

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about what the church criticizes. You know all those things that are typically looked down on in the church as sinful or borderline (which is lukewarm so we should just stay away from them). One thing that has been criticized greatly is parties. Growing up I definitely got in

The movie Saved with Mandy Moore was one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a long time. Most Christians would probably get offended immensely if they ever saw it. The entire movie is a parody of Christianity and its offsets. Most of the humour is probably against extreme conservatisms and extreme Pentecostalism, both deserving

I said it before, and yet for some reason I feel the need to say it again. Loneliness is taking its toll on me. This is quite a strange feeling for me, and I’m very cautious of talking about. I don’t want to make it into a big deal because then it looks like I’m

Talk about an odd night for me. It is New Years day, three hours into year 2005 and all I have are weird feelings. New Year’s Eve is a night when most guys with girlfriends are with them, and most girls with boyfriends are with them. I’m used to a night where all my friends

This article was originally published by the Ooze, but I think it fits well with my last entry. I wrote this during a pretty hard time in my life about two years ago….click here to read it on the Ooze. After just getting through a really tough breakup and being scarred almost unbearably I have
