Check The Wounds Yo

From the Greek home -work this week: John 20: 19-23. The Sunday after Jesus was crucified John says the disciples got together after the first 'weekday' after this horrible weekend.  The doors are 'already locked'  (strong emphasis).  They didn't lock after everyone got there.  They were locked at the start; people were cautiously added one …

Your God is Too Small

Have you ever noticed that the most outwardly 'religious' people in the world have the most anemic gods?  In the news last week I saw an ultrasound photo taken of a woman's womb.  "Is Jesus in the picture", a reporter asks? Of course he's in the picture! How do you think its even possible for …

Reading Very, Very Old Books

I am currently a student at McMaster Divinity College studying for a Master's Degree of Divinity.  I sometimes get people asking me how school is going and I say, "Good, its going good; lots of reading, but I enjoy it."  Sometimes though, I can't help myself...  I just snap and dump all this obscure stuff …

From Death to Life

I have ranted before about how Fall is not my favourite season.  Crisp air?  Bah!  The smell of rotting leaves and damp earth?  To me Fall smells like wet dog; constantly.  It has always reminded me of death.  When Fall comes, all I can see is that: Sailing (for this year) is over, everything dies, you have …
