Have you ever had one of those conversations, you know the one where someone says something so obviously ridiculous that you are not sure how to answer. One of my least favourite is when someone says that the Bible doesn’t teach that Jesus is God. You might hear it from some friendly Jehovah Witnesses knocking…

Worship #5: Where to From Here?
I promised in my last article to write about the apparent short comings on the ‘Baptist Confession of Faith’s’ section on worship, however, the more I have been looking at it and comparing it to other creeds I feel that I would be making a mountain out of a mole hill. The real issue still…
Meditation on the Danger of Computer Unreality
I think that there are good reasons to make biblical resolutions as Christians. I think it is kind of like the idea in Scripture of making vows and keeping them (Psalm 76:11). But like so much that is good and helpful, it can be turned for evil and abused, as in the form of legalism.…
Where Moses Failed, Christ Prevailed! ~An Easter Meditation
I was meditating today about the whole point and message of the death and resurrection of Christ. Have you ever thought about what it means? Or why Christ died for sinners? How can the whole idea of atonement (two parties being brought together) be so linked to sacrifice? My mind went back to a passage…
The Meaning/Purpose of Life
The purpose of life… That’s something people have always asked, I think the question is similar to what is the meaning of life. Religions try to give the answer, but their answers are more like the child who has just been asked if he thinks standing on the moving car is the wisest idea. Philosophy…
Calling Christians to Glorify God
I was reading through the Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards this week, and I must say I found them inspirational to say the least, and also very very convicting. Hard to believe he began writing them when he was only 19. I guess we live in a far less profound and thoughtful time. I want to…
A Response to Rising Islam- Pt 2 (Better Titled: What’s Wrong with the Church Today)
What is the problem with the church of this generation? I posed this question in my post responding to the rise of Islam. If you read that post, you will notice that Islam does not so much concern me. However, it did raise for me, the question, of the Church? Why are we not having…
Matthew 24:34 – The Olivet Discourse continued (Part 2)
Alas, I approach the text which makes preterists squeal with glee and Pre-mil’s faint with the malady of exegetical psychosis. Or perhaps I am being a tad melodramatic. I am referring to the ‘this generation’ of Matthew 24v34. I now endeavour to interpret this statement: “Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away…
Matthew 24:1-3 – Olivet Discourse continued… (Part 1)
Mathew 24’s first two verses begin by describing a comment Jesus made about the incredible stones with which the temple was made, this comment then triggered the rest of the discourse. The disciples probably thought that Christ would be impressed, as they were, by the beautiful stones, but instead He goes on to predict that…
The Olivet Discourse – Matthew 24
It has been on my mind for awhile to deal with the whole issue of eschatology, and to be honest, as I approached the issue, I began to realize how little I understand. The more I read various views (which initially seemed rather convincing) the more I began to realize that none really answers all…
