Proud to Not Be American (03/31/05 - 0 Comments)
There are times in life where I would love to be American. I love and admire the confidence and patriotism that are such a part of what makes Americans who they are. One recent example of a day I would have been proud to be American is September 11 and the following days and weeks, as the whole nation gathered together to mourn and to rededicate itself to the pursuit of liberty. Watching as an outsider, it was an inspiring reaction to such tragedy.
31 Days of Wisdom (2005) - Day 31 (03/31/05 - 0 Comments)
This is the thirty first and final part in this study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of this study has been to learn wisdom and discernment from God's Word. Yesterday I learned that limited human wisdom can never compare with God's unlimited perfect wisdom. I also saw that though nature proclaims that God exists, it is only through His Word that I can really come to know Him. Finally I saw through several examples from nature, that God is able to overcome any weakness through His strength.
Michael Schiavo's Very Strange Lawyer. (03/30/05 - 0 Comments)
National Review online has an interesting article about Michael Shiavo's lawyer, George Felos. Reading through the article it would be easy to dismiss Felos as a crackpot, but this would be hasty. Instead, we should see Felos' beliefs as being consistent with the New Spirituality (formerly known as the New Age).
In his 2002 book Litigation as Spiritual Practice, Felos expresses his belief in the "cosmic law of cause and effect," in which the human mind is not limited by the constraints of reality....
Advice On Reading (03/30/05 - 0 Comments)
Darren, friend and artist extrordinaire, recently sent me a link to some writings of the great puritan pastor and theologian Richard Baxter. Baxter wrote some advice on reading that seems as appropriate for us to learn from today as it was for the men and women of the seventeenth century. Perhaps the advice is even more important today as we have access to far more books and writing than the puritans could ever have imagined. The following is drawn from an article printed in the Banner of Truth (Issue 11, June, 1958). My commentary appears italicized.
31 Days of Wisdom (2005) - Day 30 (03/30/05 - 0 Comments)
This is part thirty in my 31-day study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of this study is to learn wisdom and discernment from God's Word. Yesterday I learned that I need to keep my mouth and emotions under control lest I be proven foolish by my words or actions. I also saw the importance of maintaining moral purity when in a position of leadership, where political, church or family leadership.
Chapter 30 is one of just two chapters in this book that records the wisdom of someone other than Solomon. The proverbs in this chapter were written by Agur, a man we know nothing about, except that he was probably a foreigner (and the son of Jakeh, as mentioned in the first verse).
Solomon Talks Blogging... (03/29/05 - 0 Comments)
There are many who doubt or downplay the relevance of the Old Testament to our times. Those people have probably never taken the time to read the book of Proverbs. As you may have noticed, I have been working my way through that particular book this month and have been posting a few comments on it. I have been continually amazed at just how relevant this book is. It seems that wisdom is timeless. The lessons David taught Solomon speak to myself and my children as much as they did to the men and women of ancient Israel. The wisdom of God given to Solomon continues to ring loud and clear in my heart.
In the past few days I have read chapters twenty six to twenty nine and have found so many lessons that could apply specifically to people who blog, and who participate in forums, chatrooms and the like.
31 Days of Wisdom (2005) - Day 29 (03/29/05 - 0 Comments)
This is part twenty nine in my 31-day study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of this study is to learn wisdom and discernment from God's Word. Yesterday I learned that confession is a critical aspect of having a deep, intimate relationship with God. Failing to confess sin to Him will build barriers in our fellowship. I also saw the value of trusting God to guide me through life rather than depending on myself.
Chapter twenty nine is the final chapter containing Solomon’s proverbs, for chapter thirty was written by Agur and the final chapter by Lemuel. Today’s passage repeats many of the themes we have seen in previous days, so I will try to focus on a couple of other key messages.
Mark D. Roberts, Time Magazine, and Mary (03/28/05 - 0 Comments)
What an incredibly uninspiring and unimaginative title to this article. I hope you will read it regardless.
As you may know, a few weeks ago the cover of Time magazine featured a portrayal of Mary and the words "Hail, Mary: Catholics have long revered her, but now Protestants are finding their own reasons to celebrate the mother of Jesus." The thrust of the article, written by David Van Biema, is that in our day there is a resurgence of interest in Mary amongst Protestants. He offered a fair bit of proof. Among them:
31 Days of Wisdom (2005) - Day 28 (03/28/05 - 0 Comments)
This is part twenty eight in my 31-day study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of this study is to learn wisdom and discernment from God's Word. Yesterday I learned that since God is in full control of the future I need to ensure I am not presumptuous about what is to come. I also read powerful words that described the heart as being like a mirror that reflects who I really am.
"Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but such as keep the law contend with them." Several days ago a similar proverb made me think about the people of Hollywood and this verse did the same.
An Easter Reflection (03/27/05 - 0 Comments)
Sometimes I think my favorite moments of praise are ones where I do not say a thing. This morning in church, after the sermon while everyone was singing a song of response, I so badly wanted to just run somewhere quiet and be alone with God, just to bask in His presence. That was probably wrong of me, to wish that I was somewhere other than at the worship service. It is difficult to have time alone with little children who constantly need me, and even more difficult on an Easter Sunday that is pretty well booked from beginning to end with church and family celebrations.
31 Days of Wisdom (2005) - Day 27 (03/27/05 - 0 Comments)
This is part twenty seven in my 31-day study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of this study is to learn wisdom and discernment from God’s Word. Yesterday I learned that no proverb will apply to each and every situation, so I need to be careful in their application. I also saw that I need to be wary around foolish men for they are, because of their foolishness, untrustworthy. Finally I saw examples of how folly breeds delusion so that foolish men are unable to see or understand their own folly.
Book Review - Fool's Gold (03/26/05 - 0 Comments)
All that glitters is not gold. This is a lesson many thousands of men learned in the 19th century when they stormed California seeking their fortunes. While there was treasure to be found, as evidenced by the wealth many gained from their mining ventures, there was also what came to be known as fool's gold. While this looked like gold, it was in reality valueless iron pyrite. For a miner to be successful he had to learn to discern the true gold from mere fool's gold. A man's livelihood depended on this. Because it was difficult to tell one from the other only by looking at it, miners develped some simple tests. One was the hardness test, where a miner could bite a rock in question. Fool's gold was hard while real gold was much softer. A broken tooth would prove the rock to be fool's gold. For a second test a miner would scrape the rock against a white stone. True gold would leave a yellowish streak while fool's gold would leave one that was greenish-black. This is the historical backdrop against which John MacArthur and the staff of Grace Community Church compare today's church. We are in a time where the church is filled with fool's gold and only godly discernment will show what is true treasure and what is trash.
31 Days of Wisdom (2005) - Day 26 (03/26/05 - 0 Comments)
This is part twenty six in my 31-day study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of this study is to learn what God has to say in this book about wisdom and discernment. Yesterday I learned the value of being humble. It is far better to begin humble and be exalted than to begin proud and be brought to shame. I also saw that wisdom will teach moderation.
There is so much wisdom in today's chapter that I hardly know where to begin! This is no doubt the funniest chapter in the whole Bible (which admittedly, does not contain a whole lot of humor) as it contains some striking statements about lazy and foolish men.
It's A Good Friday (03/25/05 - 0 Comments)
It's a good Friday. After all, this is a day off. I don't know what these days are known as in other parts of the world but in Canada we call them statuatory holidays - days that, by law, we can (and should) have off. As someone who is self-employed I rarely know what days I am supposed to have off, but I happened to remember this one.
This morning we left the house bright and early, went for a delicious, nutritious and very large breakfast at some friends' house, and then went to a local conservation area to learn how maple syrup is made. It's quite an interesting process and one that produces one of the most delightful substances known to man. Did you know that it takes forty litres of raw Maple sap to make a single litre of maple syrup? No wonder it sells for $50 per gallon.
31 Days of Wisdom (2005) - Day 25 (03/25/05 - 0 Comments)
This is part twenty five in my 31-day study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of this study is to learn wisdom and discernment from God’s Word. Yesterday I learned that wise people surround themselves with trusted, godly counselors and then heed the counsel of these people during tough times. I also saw that I am to show equal love to both friends and enemies and never rejoice in anyone’s trouble.
Chapter twenty five is prefaced with the words "These also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied." Hezekiah was a godly king who lived long after Solomon. During his reign there was a return to the Law of Moses and it seems that there was also a return to emphasis on wisdom. The proverbs were copied, either from existing documents or from oral tradition, so they could be widely distributed.
Seems So Long Ago, Nancy (03/24/05 - 0 Comments)
In 1969 Leonard Cohen released an album entitled Songs From A Room. The fifth song on that album is "Seems So Long Ago, Nancy." The song has become one of Cohen's more popular ones and has subsequently been recorded on one of his live albums and has also been recorded by several other artists. If you have never heard the song, you can listen to a short clip here.
It is a dark, haunting song that talks about a young woman named Nancy. The poetic words are difficult to interpret leading many fans of Cohen's music to speculate on what they mean. Here are the words to "Seems So Long Ago, Nancy."
31 Days of Wisdom (2005) - Day 24 (03/24/05 - 0 Comments)
This is part twenty four in my 31-day study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of this study is to learn wisdom and discernment from God's Word. Yesterday I learned that riches are fleeting, so to work myself to exhaustion in order to acquire them is foolish. I also learned that sin is addictive and though initially it provides joy, it always ends up bringing sorrowful consequences. I should avoid sin, trusting that with God's power I can overcome it.
Verses 5 and 6 raise a theme that we have seen before in Proverbs. "A wise man is strong, Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength; For by wise counsel you will wage your own war, And in a multitude of counselors there is safety."
But Then I Read A Book... (03/23/05 - 0 Comments)
A few days ago, browsing through a magazine, I read an article that described the importance of brand loyalty to corporations. Many companies are trying to influence children and teenagers towards their products, hoping they can make customers for life. Looking back at my years in university and high school I can see that this was true even then. There were many times when a company would come to campus and give away whole boxes of their products. During my first year at McMaster University I got more deodorant, razors, shaving cream and aftershave than I knew what to do with. The latest players in this game, apparently, are condom companies, which are always eager to sponsor giveaways and health classes in high schools and even middle schools, giving out their products to whoever wants them. There is great competition to be the company that has their condoms dispensed in vending machines in high school bathrooms. Beer companies are another example of corporations that try to target their future customers while they are still young - too young to be using their products!
31 Days of Wisdom (2005) - Day 23 (03/23/05 - 0 Comments)
This is part twenty three in my 31-day study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of this study is to learn wisdom and discernment from God’s Word. Yesterday I learned that God makes no partiality based on wealth – all men are equal in His eyes and will be judged by the same standards, regardless of their riches in this world. I also saw that if I train my children in the way of wisdom, they will learn to love it and not turn from it when they grow older.
Worship - Elements and Circumstances (03/22/05 - 0 Comments)
Last week I posted an article about the freedom God gives us in worshipping Him. In that article I suggested that there may be some merit to what is known as the Regulative Principle. I would like to comment further on this topic.
Allow me to comment first on the Regulative Principle of worship (also known as The Regulatory Principle), restating the brief definition I provided last time. This principle states that the only acceptable worship is that which is explicitly taught in the Bible. By extension then, anything that is not explicitly taught in the Bible is implicitly forbidden. The Regulatory Principle is most often applied to music in the worship service, but can also apply to the use of drama, the administration of the Lord's Supper (how is it celebrated and how often?) and any other number of situations. Churches that adhere to the Regulatory Principle will insist that God, in His wisdom, provided certain ways in which we are to worship Him. The ways in which we are to worship are outlined in Scripture. Means of worship that we may invent will not be acceptable to a perfect and holy God. We should note that this principle generally only applies to the worship service.
31 Days of Wisdom (2005) - Day 22 (03/22/05 - 0 Comments)
This is part twenty two in my 31-day study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of this study is to learn wisdom and discernment from God’s Word. Yesterday I learned that God is in complete control - Every person, whether great or small, believing or unbelieving, must do God’s will, whether he realizes he is doing it or not. I also saw that the path to destruction begins with greedily desiring things but not having the motivation to acquire them. I need to set my sites on godly goals and do all I can to reach them.
Can't Bear To See It Go... (03/21/05 - 0 Comments)
I am blessed to have been born into a family that has one of the greatest cottages in the world. I don't feel that I am boasting, either. Situated in Chaffey's Locks, a tiny town about 3.5 hours outside Toronto, it is close enough to be a weekend destination, but far enough away that it is a vacation. And it's certainly far enough away from the city that it promotes a rural rather than urban pace of life. The cottage is owned by my father and his two siblings. They received ownership of the cottage when their parents died, and my grandparents received it from a relative as well. My children represent the fifth generation of the family who have spent their summers at the cottage.
Chasing the Wind, Defending The Faith (03/21/05 - 0 Comments)
Tim Irvin (of The Irvins) posted some thoughts on Saturday that caught my attention. I have tremendous respect for the elder Tim and value all that he says (except, perhaps, his thoughts on horror movies). Because of my respect for him, and because I felt his comments applied to myself and my site, I wanted to respond to them. I am attempting to do so in a spirit of humility, acknowleding Tim as my elder and one who undoubtedly has wisdom far surpassing my own.
In his article Tim writes "I lost most of my vanity many years ago, about the time my chest fell into my drawers, and the thought that I could write something on a regular basis that would appeal to anybody never really crossed my mind. I'm continually amazed by the amount information some writers post on a daily basis. I'm equally amazed by some of the topics." The topics he is amazed people write about are "Rick Warren, Saddleback, The Purpose Driven Life, The Emerging Church, and Joel Osteen." He then confesses that he gets "tickled" at the amount of time, energy and space that are dedicated to these people. "I don’t find them the least bit interesting or worthy of our time and attention..."
The Value of a Link from Hugh Hewitt (03/21/05 - 0 Comments)
Hugh Hewitt is the biggest of the God-bloggers, which is to say he drives the most traffic. According to the notoriously-low SiteMeter statistics that he makes public, he has a daily average of 26,694 visitors. A visit, according to SiteMeter, is a series of page views by one person with no more than 30 minutes in between page views. SiteMeter defines a visit much more narrowly than many similar programs, and I find that I need to add 40 to 60 percent to the visits registered by SiteMeter (As an aside, it's also important to note that SiteMeter does not track RSS visitors and they comprise a very major number of visitors to many sites these days, though for some strange reason Hewitt does not offer RSS). The point is, Hewitt gets a lot of traffic.
31 Days of Wisdom (2005) - Day 21 (03/21/05 - 0 Comments)
This is part twenty one in my 31-day study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of this study is to learn wisdom and discernment from God's Word. Yesterday I learned that though any fool can begin an argument it takes a wise man to know when and how to apologize and cease fighting. I also learned that discipline, though it may be painful, should serve to force me to examine my life and see where I am not following God's will. Today we turn to the twenty first chapter of Proverbs.
The chapter begins with an expression of the Lord's omnipotence. "The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes." Everyone is under God's control, even kings and rulers who may not acknowledge Him. God's sovereignty extends to all people of all times and they must do his bidding whether they realize it or not. At the same time we know that God will not force anyone into doing wrong since we are wholly responsible for our own sin. So though God may use our evil for His purposes, it does not excuse our sin. We are still responsible for carefully discerning right from wrong.
Dear Paul, Love Demas (03/20/05 - 0 Comments)
I found the following letter at David Cloud's site and it tickled my funny bone. It is a fictional (obviously) letter from Demas to Paul and was written by Pastor Buddy Smith of Grace Baptist Church in Malanda, Queensland, Australia. Before you register offense, please note that it is merely satire, and hence is deliberately exaggerated in order to make a point.
Dear Paul,
As Convener of the Greater Corinth Ministers Fraternal, I have been asked to write you regarding your coming visit to our fair city. Since you were here last we have made impressive gains in many vital areas. The greatest advances are in our Ministerial Training Programme. Ten years ago the Corinth Bible Institute was upgraded to Bible College status.
31 Days of Wisdom (2005) - Day 20 (03/20/05 - 0 Comments)
This is part twenty in my 31-day study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of this study is to learn what God has to say in this book about wisdom and discernment. Yesterday I learned that family relationships offer not only the greatest opportunities for blessing, but also the greatest opportunities for pain. I have to be a wise father to ensure that my children are raised in wisdom so they do not prove shameful later in life. I also learned about the natural inclination to blame God for our own sins.
"It is honorable for a man to stop striving, Since any fool can start a quarrel." Any old fool can start a fight but it takes a real man to apologize. A mark of wisdom is having the humility and good sense to admit blame and be the one to apologize first. When I read this proverb I thought of my relationship with my wife.
Gratuitous Shout-outs (03/19/05 - 0 Comments)
There is lots of talk about Hugh Hewitt's Blog. I wrote a review, and Jolly blogger decided to affirm that blogging is not the new Reformation. There is some disagreement as to whether Hewitt meant to say that blogging is the new Reformation or whether it will just be the medium that carries it. Blogotional and SmartChristian are talking about the book too.
Shane at 2Twenty8 is giving away three good books. But you have to work for them by writing an article about "A Case For Conviction." It sounds like a challenging but rewarding task.
31 Days of Wisdom - Day 19 (03/19/05 - 0 Comments)
This is part nineteen in my 31-day study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of this study is to learn what God has to say in this book about wisdom and discernment. Yesterday I continued to learn one of the predominant themes of this book – I need to guard my lips and choose my words carefully, whether I am in a position of judgment or simply listening in order to give advice. Also, I am to put my trust in the Lord and find my refuge in Him rather than in material possessions.
One emphasis in chapter nineteen is family relationships. Verse 13 reads "A foolish son is the ruin of his father, And the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping." A son who despises wisdom will bring grief to his family.
Your Plans This Weekend (03/18/05 - 0 Comments)
Here are my plans for this weekend:
Hmm. Come to think of it, I have no plans for this weekend, other than going to church on Sunday morning. I see before me the makings of a great weekend! I suppose this means I will spend plenty of time reading, though admittedly I haven't felt much like reading the past few days. I've been struggling my way through a book about the authority of Scripture, but have generally preferred doing other things.
Apart from what I have to do this weekend (which, as we have seen, is nothing) here are some things I hope to do this weekend:
- Write at least the first of a two-part article about The Emergent Church for a magazine. I told the editor I would try to have the first submitted by March 25, so the clock is ticking.
- Watch "The Incredibles." That shouldn't be hard to difficult to force myself into doing.
- Play with the kids.
Now you know my plans. What are you up to this weekend?
Freedom of Worship (03/18/05 - 0 Comments)
In recent days and weeks there have been some interesting discussions in the forums about worship. A couple of these were kick-started by book reviews or articles I had written while others were started by readers in the General Discussion forum. A patter began to emerge that I would like to discuss briefly. This is a pattern I have seen often in these types of discussions. It seems that many people believe that for us to have worship that is pure and free, it must be predicated by on as few rules as possible. In other words, in order for us to worship in spirit, as God commands, we must worship in ways that we have originated with us and make us feel good.
One of the first articles I ever posted on this site was called "The Rules of Freedom." In that article I discussed the Christian view towards freedom, and showed that we are only truly free when we are bound by rules. It sounds like a contradiction in terms, but allow me to bring out a few of the points I made in that article.
31 Days of Wisdom - Day 18 (03/18/05 - 0 Comments)
This is part eighteen in my 31-day study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of this study is to learn what God has to say in this book about wisdom and discernment. Yesterday I learned that God uses difficult times in my life to shape and mould my character and that during these times I need to have a peaceful soul and restrain my tongue. I also learned the value of avoiding strife at all costs.
The predominant theme of chapter eighteen is the dangerous nature of words. Verses 6 through 8 read "A fool's lips enter into contention, And his mouth calls for blows. A fool's mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul...

Purpose Driven Life on CNN (03/17/05 - 0 Comments)
Last night on "Newsnight" CNN featured The Purpose Driven Life, giving the book perhaps thirty or forty minutes of coverage. The book has enjoyed a resurgence of interest in the past few days because of the Brian Nichols case. Ashley Smith, the woman Nichols held hostage while he was a fugitive, read to him from The Purpose Driven Life. Since the press heard of that, the book has enjoyed plenty of press coverage.
As I mentioned previously, CNN contacted me about this story and I could sense that they were looking for miracle stories to share with their audience.
31 Days of Wisdom (2005) - Day 17 (03/17/05 - 0 Comments)
This is part seventeen in my 31-day study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of this study is to learn what God has to say in this book about wisdom and discernment. Today we are looking at the seventeenth chapter of Proverbs.
"The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the LORD tests the hearts."
Silver and gold are of little value or beauty before they go through the process of refining. During this time they are heated to great temperatures so the valuable metals can melt away from the worthless rock. The metaphor of refining fire is used many times in the Bible to show to us that God uses tough times in life to refine our character.
CNN on The Purpose Driven Life (It's On Tonight) (03/16/05 - 0 Comments)
According to CNN.com, there will be a one hour special edition of "Newsnight" tonight that will focus on The Purpose Driven Life. "It may have saved one woman and inspired an alleged killer to give up. What is the message in "The Purpose Driven Life"? Paula Zahn hosts a special edition of "NewsNight" at 10 p.m. ET." I'm sure it will be interesting. Because this of the combination of the subject matter and the network, you may want to take some anti-nausea medication before it begins.
Should We Pray For Forgiveness? (03/16/05 - 0 Comments)
I have had the privelege of hearing Louie Giglio speak on several occasions, both at conferences here in Toronto and in the church he ministers at in Atlanta. He is a wonderfully gifted speaker and has the rare ability to hold thousands of people at rapt attention for as long as he cares to speak. Generally I was impressed with the content of his speeches as well, as his ministry seemed to be rooted in the Bible and not in the teachings of men.
Recently Giglio spoke at the 2005 Purpose Driven Youth Conference and challenged the youth leaders in attendance to "remix" their prayer lives. He shared four remixed versions of typical cliché prayers many Christians regularly pray. They were: Instead of "Forgive me," pray "Thank you for forgiving me."; Instead of "Bless me," pray "Let us bless you.";
31 Days of Wisdom - Day 16 (03/16/05 - 0 Comments)
This is part sixteen in my 31-day study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of the study is to learn wisdom and discernment from this portion of God's Word. Today our passage is the sixteenth chapter of Proverbs.
A predominant theme in this chapter is God's omnipotence. Where in the previous chapter the author stressed the fact that God sees and knows everything, in this chapter he stresses the fact that God also controls everything. The first verse says "The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the LORD." Though I may make preparations for the future and even diligently pray about it, ultimately it is God who is going to control what happens. Whatever He speaks is going to come to pass. This is reinforced in the ninth verse which reads "A man's heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps." The obvious application of this knowledge is to submit my life to God, giving Him control over it. I need to seek His will so I can prepare my way for His purposes.
Book Review - With Reverence And Awe (03/15/05 - 0 Comments)
Reformed Christians are increasingly divided over how they ought to worship God. For many Reformed believers, this is an issue of great urgency. D.G. Hart and John R. Muether wrote With Reverence And Awe (Returning to the Basics of Reformed Worship) to address this topic. They call the book a primer on worship, "a brief overview of how Reformed theology informs the way we think about, put together, and participate in the worship service. Our aim is to help church officers and members gather corporately for worship and do so in ways appropriate to the God who has revealed himself in Christ Jesus" (page 13). The authors believe that good theology must produce good worship, while poor theology necessarily produces poor worship. This is something the church has understood in the past, but has lost sight of in recent years. Reformed worship, because of its distinctiveness, will worship God in ways that are distinct from other theological traditions.
31 Days of Wisdom (2005) - Day 15 (03/15/05 - 0 Comments)
This is part fifteen in my 31-day study through the book of Proverbs. The purpose of the study is to learn wisdom and discernment from this portion of God’s Word. Today we turn to chapter 15 of this book of Wisdom.
"The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good."
There is so much truth contained in this one small verse! This verse speaks of a doctrine we know as God's omniscience which says that God sees and knows everything.
