god was in the house

tonight was the best first@night we have ever had. greg and mylene led worship and it was unbelievable - they did this one song "breath of god, breathe on me" which i guess is an old hymn that greg reworked - there was a moment when they stopped singing and greg kept playing and the congregation just kept singing - it was like a u2 concert - how long?

i preached on lot and sodom and gomorrah - i have to tell you this sermon was quite interesting in how it came together. yesterday at about 5:00 i finished it in my office - i looked it over and wasn't really happy with it - but i decided i was too tired to polish it off. then this afternoon i looked it over and added a few things.

when i preached it was one of the few times when i felt it was really god speaking, not me - i just have to get out of god's way. i came down quite strong against homophobia in the church and challenged us to overcome the "sin of sodom" in our lives which is simply gross selfishness which silences out the cries of the poor and disadvantaged in our lives.

all glory to god for an incredible service.

joel - our web-site designer has been a member of the u2 fan club for 10 years. i am not a member but i will probably join before the next tour so that i have a better chance of scoring tickets.

leave for toronto on tuesday. felicia and adam are in saskatoon next week too. will still have internet access in to so will keep you posted.

Go to church

We are several months out of even the most limited pandemic restrictions. I cannot remember the last time I wore a mask. When I see someone wearing a mask, it feels nostalgic - a reminder of a strange time when that person was the norm and I - the unmasked one would look strange. Despite the fact that we can break the 6-foot barrier and admire the lower halves of other's faces - I have been surprised at the number of Christians I meet who are just NOW starting to return to live worship services. I understand the lure of the live stream worship experience while sitting at home on the couch - worshipping in sweats and hot coffee in my mug - much more appealing than a hard couch and no coffee. I've also met believers boldly walking away from regular church attendance and proclaiming they can worship God anywhere - including the pickleball court. Nature is my sanctuary. "God’s Spirit and gift of salvation are not defined by church walls. But without an embodied community of be

Where the Light Falls

Image
I've read two books by Augustine - City of God and Confessions. I think I've read his confessions 3 times. I like him because he is a good writer, has lots of self-insight, and loves God passionately. He was very honest about his pre-Christian life. At one point he makes this observation: "I had my back toward the light, and my face toward the things on which the light falls." Most people have their back to the light - and they focus where his light falls. Where the light falls refers to God's common grace. God does not keep good things only for those who follow him. Because he is good he distributes his blessings and grace widely. Where the light falls are places of grace: art, music, beauty, sunshine, loving relationships, a baby's smile. But - these things are not the light - to enjoy and encounter the light, we must turn around and follow the rays of light back to the source. What is the source of beauty, love, and truth? Jesus said he is the light of the

Coaster goes up (a little)

Unused photo from the Globe and Mail shoot. So, last night and all day today I was on the top floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Vancouver. Quite auspicious surroundings for church council/pastors meetings! there were stunning views of the North Shore mountains, Stanley Park and the downtown buildings. The meetings were lengthy, exhausting and a lot of work. Basically, FBC has been on a year long journey of crafting its vision statement and core values - we did it with the assistance of a coach from Outreach Canada. We are coming down the home stretch and needed to hammer out everything for presentation to the congregation. Today was the first day that I have begun to feel lighter and ready to resume the work. Although still feeling wounded from this whole mess, I'm ready to limp on. It's true: Sunday,Monday - elation at finally reaching a goal of holding a first@night service in a trendy nightclub - excitement at getting press coverage - even thoug
