Purpose: Marianne Williamson, a popular figure within the New Age Movement, has sprung to Rick Warren’s defense. I assume (and hope) that Rick Warren is less than pleased that she has chosen to do so!

Scripture: This video was recorded at WorshipGod06 and shows Ryan Ferguson reciting a portion of Hebrews. He did a great job and it was a blessing to all who attended.

Church: Paul brings news of a new Calgary church plant.

Fact: It’s a fact (according to Yahoo): the most common birthday is October 5. Why? Because it falls nine months after New Year’s Eve…

Tuesday January 10, 2005 Quote: “‘Muslim fundamentalism, Christian fundamentalism, Jewish fundamentalism, secular fundamentalism – they’re all motivated by fear. Fear of each other.’” (Rick Warren) And what is a fundamentalist? “Now the word “fundamentalist” actually comes from a document in the 1920s called the Five Fundamentals of the Faith. And it is a very legalistic,…

Uncoolness, Tolerance, and Christ’s Bride the Church – I really enjoyed Randy Alcorn’s reflection on the uncoolness of the church. “A church is a gathering of people diverse in race, occupation, age and gender. When those who are already the same in these areas are united, it is not as great a testimony to Christ’s…

When The Path That I Fear Is the Way He Has Set

There are some lyrics we all especially treasure, certain lines that settle in especially near to our hearts. Personally, I often find myself pondering the words that begin CityAlight’s “In the Valley (Bless the Lord).” “When the path that I feared / Is the way He has set / And I long to give in…

What’s a Trade War and How Did We End Up In One?

A couple of months ago, I wrote an article titled “Trump, Trudeau, and the 51st State.” It began with the words, “These are strange days in Canada.” Little did I know—though I suppose I should have predicted—that they would only get stranger.

Nick Would Be 25 Years Old Today

I don’t why we place more emphasis on some birthdays than others. Why is 16 more significant than 17? Why are multiples of 5 more significant than multiples of 4 or 6? I don’t who decides these things or on what basis, but I suppose 25 is significant because it marks a quarter of a…

Disrupted Journey

I am convinced it is appropriate to acknowledge those who bear with chronic pain and illness and that it is especially fitting to give special honor to do those who do so with a deep sense of submission to God’s mysterious purposes in their suffering. But if that’s true, I believe it is also appropriate…

John Mark Comer and Practicing The Way

It has been a few years since I have had a substantial number of people reach out to ask my view on a particular author. Do you know anything about him? Have you read him? Would you consider reviewing some of his books? But after this break of a few years, it has recently begun…
