Hang on to your hats, because I am about to spiritualize (and very possibly trivialize) one of the great laws of physics. Newton’s Third Law of Motion states, in its simplest form, that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Take a look around and you will see this law in action…
This fall, Rick Warren will be encouraging thousands of churches to join his 40 Days of Community program. Warren descripes this program as “a next step in spiritual growth for your congregation, and we believe it’s a necessary step for deepening healthy, balanced, purpose-driven lives.” 40 Days of Purpose is a prerequisite to move on…
A man and his guitar. On the surface, that is all you are going to get with Derek Webb’s album The House Show. There is no production, no percussion, no backing vocals. Dig deeper and you will find an outstanding album featuring one of Christian music’s most honest and outspoken voices. The album seamlessly weaves…
Well, I think the first BlogSwap went exceptionally well. We had eight participants and all but one (I’m looking at you, Ochuk) posted the article that was sent to them. Hopefully that one other guy will do so shortly! What I am excited about are things like this. Click the link and you’ll see a…
I spent three years of my life at McMaster University studying history (I did a bachelor’s program in 3 years). So with a past as an amateur historian, I know the importance of identifying the bias of an author when reading a historical work. Not too long ago I purchased J.A. Wylie’s book “The Papacy:…
Today was the first BlogSwap and I think it went very well. We had 9 participants respresenting (obviously) 9 different blogs. It is quite fun to start with one blog and, after reading the entry on that blog, to click on the next and so on. By clicking from one to the other you find…
Due to a late entry from James I will be posting two entries on my site for this BlogSwap. When the topic of “How Blogging Has Impacted My Life” a few thoughts and emotions came to mind; nervous, how do I word this article, anxious, willing to share, and more. Needless to say, I am…
For the first time in the history of this site, we are featuring a guest writer. As part of the first BlogSwap I am priveleged to have Rebecca doing some writing today. What’s Up With the Blogging Fixation, Anyway? The subject for this weeks Blog Swap is “How Blogging Has Impacted My Life,” and I…
Once again I use up my allotment of “ramblings” before I would like to, but I have been so busy doing nothing today that I really haven’t had time to sit down and write anything intelligent. Yesterday was a great day for writing as I got well into an article that I am really excited…
Several years ago the “big thing” in the Christian world was the WWJD movement. If you were attending a church during that time (and even if you weren’t) you probably remember people wearing the little WWJD bracelets. There were also WWJD bibles, albums, videos, books and every other type of marketing material. Though associated with…
Today is Canada Day. Generally that means Canadians take a little bit of time on this holiday to be thankful for the country they live in. In reality, of course, most Canadians head to their cottages and drink themselves silly (a long-standing Canadian tradition) and think only of their country when they see a maple…
