RE: Foundation. Very Exciting! Living the Gospel, Man.

I might do a little work for the <a href="http://www.re-foundation.org"]RE-Foundation, in terms of writing the content for its website. The RE-Foundation is an exciting not-for-profit organisation that goes into war-torn areas (currently Uganda) and performs reconstruction surgery on those who can’t afford it. In wars people get burned, have ligaments

The Fact is We’re Made in God’s Image; The Fact is We’re Fa

Many people are quite aware of the Christian doctrine of the Fall of Man, although I’m sure they’re also confused on the details that matter. I was watching the movie Taking Pelham 1-2-3 this last weekend and a line of dialogue struck out to me, probably because I was considering this

Searching for God Knows What

I’m busy re-reading Donald Miller’s Searching for God Knows What, one of his books that I believe is highly under-rated. Here’s a great quote from the book: “… if the gospel of Jesus is just some formula I obey in order to get taken off the naughty list and put on a

This is part of a synchroblog, started by Steve Hayes. Brian McLaren is a well known writer and activist from America, and he has been labelled by many as a ‘leader’ of the Emergent Church / Emerging Church movement. I have enough experience with the Emerging Church movement to know how

O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing

I love this hymn penned by Charles Wesley, and it’s been on my mind especially after I read that the hymn is not about a thousand people singing about about Wesley having a thousand tongues himself to sing. Nice imagery! Here’s the background of this hymn from Wikipedia

Knowledge and Philosophy Could Never Lead to Joy Themselves

Over the years I’ve learned a lot about philosophy and theology. And, although there are others that know more than me (of course), I could tell you a few things, I’m sure. I could tell you about Spinoza, Aristotle, Plato, Kant, Epicurus, Hobbes, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Marx, Descartes and

Why Enjoyment is the Point of a ‘Quiet Time’

One of the reasons why Christians should set aside some time during the day, every day, for God, is to make our pursuit of pleasure for the day God Himself. This time set aside for God is often called a ‘quiet time’. This is usually an intimate time

Suffering in Temptation

Hebrews 12:4-7 “In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when
