excitement!


rainy and grey monday - yuck.

last night i was so encouraged. there was these young people from new jersey who had come to oregon for a wedding. they decided to come up to canada for the day. they went to relevantmagazine's church database and found first@night! i guess we're listed on there although i can not remember signing us up to it. i also can't find it now on the net.

i was so pumped! the funniest part was that on their way up here they passed all these cool big emergent churches like imago dei in portland and mars hill in seattle. and they end up at our small little community! had a great time visiting with them.

since we are hurting for worship leaders we did "worship karaoke" last night. iworship has these dvds that contain a bunch of worship songs on them - they also have the words set against beautiful scenery. i was nervous about using them but they were quite effective.

i was a bit disappointed with my sermon. i wasn't going to read the whole story but i did by mistake - gen 27. i waasn't going to read it because i spend most of the sermon summarizing it. i forgot and sort of repeated the whole story twice - oh well. i've sort of come to terms to the fact that i won't always be able to hit 'em out of the park.

today - regent library and then my doctor.

joel sent me this - very funny - http://nickciske.com/fun/godpod/

Santosh. Thanks for the mention. It really was great meeting you and worshiping in Vancouver that night. Seeing my brother's eyes light up when you told him your U2 stories was great. That's all he was talking about afterwards.

I'm pretty sure if we lived in Vancouver he'd want to hear you preach every Sunday. I really appreciated the enthusiasm and the laid back atmosphere of First@Night. I've been wanting to start something similar for about a year now at my church so it's definitely inspiring.

I'll be sure to keep you and your church family in prayer as far as the future of the ministry goes. I praise God that He used us to be an encouragement because we definitely left there encouraged by your teaching and not as bummed out about the fact that it rained the whole day we were there.

P.S. I couldn't find a link to the church directory on Relevant either so I searched under Google and found it - www.relevantmagazine.com/churchdirectory. Funny thing is I can't get it to come up now.

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

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

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
