A WHAT????

I can soooo imagine Jesus doing this – celebrating Easter with Krispy Kreme, Starbucks and a very large elephant. As the old saying goes, “There’s nothing like a holy pachyderm to get the message across”.
What, there is no old saying like that? Well there damn well should be, that’s all I can say.
———-If [...]

Love so amazing, so divine

We sang this hymn in our gathering on Easter Sunday. I can’t get it out of my head, especially the last two lines. How can something written over three hundred years ago in a very different time and place impact me so much?
When I survey the wondrous crossOn which the Prince of Glory [...]

Velvet Elvis 2

It’s been a while, but here is my second post about Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell. The first post is here if you missed it.
I wanted to highlight Rob’s opinion on the “Christian” label:
The Bible is filled with stories of God teaching people how to think. How to discern. How to sort [...]

Happy Easter!

Here’s wishing you a very blessed Easter as we remember what started all this deconstruction: the grace of God shown through Jesus.
May your weekend be spent with those you love, and in honour of God, who loved you first.
Now, enough with the serious stuff. Here’s a bit of silliness before I go:

You Act Like [...]

Peace and surrender

Surrender. It’s the most difficult thing to do when you’re a control freak like me. Everything inside of me screams “NO! Fight!”, even when I know what God has for me is infinitely better. I have to learn to stop the fighting, to stop the pointless arguments that go around and around [...]

They are a fantastic charity, and I can promise that 100% of what you donate will go towards projects in third world countries (especially Mozambique) that directly [...]

Messy is good!

I have finished Messy Spirituality by Mike Yaconelli.
All I can say is, if you haven’t read it, add it to your ‘must read’ list immediately! I honestly think it’s the most real and down to earth commentary on Jesus and the ways of the Kingdom of God that I’ve ever read.
The book is basically [...]

Bloggy Changes

Ooooh, there are changes afoot!
Well, it’s not really that exciting (or worthy of “Ooooh”s), but I have been playing around with things in here. RSS readers will need to click through to see.
First of all, I have a brand-spanking-new header. Preeetty.
And I also changed my Blogroll to update automatically via Google Reader. [...]

A one-hit wonder

No, not the Right Said Fred kind. Another, infinitely more important kind.
“But nothing could be more important than I’m Too Sexy For My Shirt“, I hear you say.
Well, just look at this. One Hit Wonder has been launched. They are a legitimate charity, and they’re challenging everybody with internet access to donate [...]

A whole day’s food for the cost of a third of a latte?

I didn’t think it was possible! I spent $3 on my latte this morning, and here I find Nathan and Laura doing a very intriguing experiment where they are eating with a dollar a day for just over a month.
Yes, I’m very late to the party. They’re up to day 30 already, but [...]

Oh how I love the junk drawer

I was reading a comment by Mark Driscoll today on Kingdom Grace.
(Speaking of the Emerging Church) “It’s a junk drawer category for all kinds of different people.”
Even though it was probably meant to be disparaging, I like it. The Kingdom of God is a junk drawer, full of all kinds of different people. I love [...]

Seems I’m It again!

This time it’s a tag from Brand Name Faith.
Since it’s such an easy one that requires little or no thought on my part, I’ll get right to it. It may be argued by many that I have little or no thought generally, but that’s another issue altogether.
The meme consists of four questions requiring [...]

More from dear old Lucaslabrador

It’s lovely to have somebody about whom you can say “If he says it, chances are I believe the absolute opposite”.
Really, Lucaslabrador never fails to amaze me.

Some choice quotes:

There is a very simple way to know it is sin; the vast majority of the women approve [...]
