RZ is my hero. He made the best observation IMHO. "Were they bored with God? What brought this on?" I thought that was a good observation...what brought on the emergent conversation. Did these young evangelicals get bored with God, or doctrine, or the Church?

Good stuff.

Thanks for posting the video.

I couldn't stop watching You Tube clips of this panel discussion. As someone who left the church a long time ago, I still find arguments around the church interesting. One of the most interesting things I saw in these clips is that there is actually no discussion, only agreement. It would have been great to see a panel discussion with multiple views represented. That's why I loved growing up in the Mennonite community; in my private high school I was educated on major world religions before I studied ANY Mennonite history. Kudos to my school for promoting tolerance and allowing students to make their own educated decisions on faith!

This video infuriated me. These men patently misrepresented a very broad and nuanced movement with sweeping generalizations, patronizing (though unqualified) witty quips and (what seemed to me) no effort to understand. Do I acknowledge the truth of much of what they are saying? Of course, but that only makes their own twisting of truth more palatable. These men should know better.

I wish I had done this first. I believe this video was actually shot in Saskatoon, as a friend of mine, musician Paul Benjamin produced and does some back-up vocals on it. Rock on.

Christmas in Vancouver

As you can see I've been fooling around with different templates, fonts, colours, etc. I like this one - Carla was using it, so I've followed her lead. The font appears small - I've enlarged it on this post. By the way - I've lost my site counter!!! When I made the template shift, it disappeared. I have had a difficult time adding a new one. this is a bit frustrating as I like to see how many people are reading this thing. Any techies out there able to help me out? Anyways - had another does of Christmas in Vancouver. Went on the bright lights train in Stanley Park. This was actually pretty good. The train goes for about 15 minutes through a well decorated part of the Park. There were a few odd images - along with Santa, snowmen and a nativity scene, there were also native americans and a leprechaun. The train took a turn into Bizarro world, when a dancing cowgirl on stilts came out and did a little jig. This was a real live person on stilts dancing around. I was wonde...

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 ...
