If c is constant, then e=mc²

2006-02-14T00:47:00.000-08:00

So I've been thinking too hard, as I often do, and I've come across an interesting parallel:Einstein's theory of relativity has the speed of light in a total vacuum as the only constant. Everything else is relative to the light.Jesus is the light of the world. God is self-existent, the alpha, the first. God existed by Himself before anything, which would be in a vacuum...light in a total

A non-pomo theological construct

2005-12-16T00:40:00.000-08:00

So my friend, Pierre, and I devised a schema based on the Bible in which one could fit all theological truths and interpret Scripture with greater insight and certainty. I have so far been unable to make it fail, though I have by no means thought through every question I have, have had, or will have. All I can say is that I have learned more deeply in two days than I have in possibly the last

Top five reasons why Christians are miserable:1) We don't spend real time with God2) We don't do the work God has given us3) We believe lies rather than truth4) We cannot escape from evil until we physically die5) We aren't really Christians at allGot any to add? Or have we got it all now?

Woe Canada

2005-12-03T14:31:00.000-08:00

I felt it heavy on my heart today that our God weeps over this land. This burden of grief is weighing on me such that I can no longer see our national anthem as anything other than a song of lament and a call for the sons of daughters of the One and Only true God, to cry out to Him.Oh Canada, Oh Canadaour home, our native land,true patriot love in all thy sons command.With glowing heartswe will

the true Beauty

2005-11-29T23:29:00.000-08:00

My friend Mary recently wrote a paper proposing that 'beauty' ought to be included in the attributes of God. Within that essay, she brought forth the idea that God is the most Beautiful thing there is and finds pleasure in Himself, but is unselfish so He created others to enjoy His beauty as well.I thought this was an interesting point and my synapses started firing. If God created for us to

The story of a girl named Keely...

She was a tough, but beautiful young girl about 10 years old who swam with her friend all the time at the pool on the south side of town. She would often talk to Jason, the lifeguard, and get him to throw diving rings for her and her friend. She would joke around with Jason and tell him about her life, her family, and the fact that many of them were Jehovah's Witnesses, though she didn't go to

I've been reading Donald Miller lately. I like Donald. He makes me laugh. He inspires me to write and be witty and make Christians laugh at the funny, hate the bad, embrace the beautiful, and reach for the mysterious. I'd like to think I'm like Don (and I am in some ways) but I'm not.His book, 'Blue like jazz', is causing me to completely re-think everything about the stucture and form of how

"Look at all the wonderful things to eat!" - Tiny TimSometimes I think about where I live...my country, province, city, family, house...and I wonder why I am the one who gets this life, this food, this luxury. Do I know what I have? Do I really appreciate what I have been given? Where I have been placed in time and space? Am I just a greedy little monkey with so many bananas that it's funny

Scripture at the summit

Jesus preached... "Knowing is the correct password--saying 'Master, Master,' for instance--isn't going to get you anywhere with me. What is required is serious obedience--doing what my Father wills. I can see it now--at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, 'Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God-sponsored projects had everyone talking.' And do you

The title is an amazing quote from the poetic Amy Grindall.The following is a modified note to a friend on the subject:Did Jesus feed every mouth?Did He preach to every ear?Did He write books for us to read?Was His ministry to the Gentiles?Did He look after the finances of His ministry?No, in all these things He had help.He sent out the twelve to feed 5,000.He sent out the twelve to preach in

I just had dinner with some people I never knew before today. We ended up talking about war and whether or not Canada should've been involved in the fight against terror in Iraq, as well as Paul Martin's elusive statements concerning the London bombings. Though I was quite quiet for most of the dinner conversation, I got heavily involved in this new topic.The problem with me being so involved is

I was downloading the best free software on the planet, when I started thinking about the gift of the Bible and the fact that I can read it here on my computer. I thought of the process of inspiration, the forming of the canon by the early church fathers, the tireless efforts of monks copying for hours somewhere in the Himalayas, King James' decree, Martin Luther's reforms, Eugene Peterson's

Fantasy is what people wantbut reality is what they need - Lauryn Hill

2005-07-11T22:46:00.000-07:00

Two kinds of reality: Spirtitual and Physical. The two are in harmony and in a battle. The natural things speak of the invisible whether people know they are or not. My eyes are open and I see the deception, the lies, the hopelessness in the people inside the church and out who don't know the reality of beyond the one they can see. However, I still feel blinded as though I can't see anything else

We are Dominators

2005-07-03T18:56:00.000-07:00

You are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit. Those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we
