HoMY 52: The Doxology |
|
| May 11, 2008 06:00 AM |
| When I first began my series Then Sings My Soul: The Hymns of My Youth a year ago, I had no idea that it would run this long. I thought it would probably run several weeks, a few months — six, maybe nine — and I’d run out of material. I had no idea until I began looking back into old hymnals that we had sung so many hymns that remain familiar to me even today… even though I’m not often in a hymn-singing context anymore.
Still, these old hymns evoke memories and |

The Consequences of Abortion |
|
| May 10, 2008 12:00 PM |
| Here’s a data-updating article via the Christian Medical Fellowship of Britain. The sections on “Serious Psychiatric Consequences,” “Consequences for the Father,” and “Consequences for Siblings” caught my attention. Very little research has been done on the effects of abortion on the father and siblings. This all connects back to that book I read a few [...] |

Random Acts of Linkage #60 |

| You ever notice they don’t make anything like they used to? Not even cold and toothache remedies. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing is entirely at your discretion. (Two images via DRB).
If you’re a fan of irony, there’s also the office of the National Association of Telemarketers…
Riddle me this:
What do sea monsters eat? Fish and ships.
Why do sharks only live in salt water? Because pepper water makes them sneeze.
What kind of monkey can fly? A ho |

Disjointed |

| Life feels like this at the moment and probably explains the absence of blogging around here.
This time last week we were supposed to be launching into a week of activity with some visitors from Bali, but they didn’t arrive. They have arrived today but there is little to do, so it will be several days [...] |

Logically… |
|
| May 09, 2008 08:00 PM |
| I am preaching this Sunday night at North Beach Baptist on Revelation chapter 2, so I have been doing some reflection on who we are as the church.
I’m thinking that if the church is really the bride of Christ… then logically that would make God my father-in-law rather than my father… right?…
Maybe this would [...] |

Baffling |
|
| May 09, 2008 04:00 PM |
| This whole Myanmar thing. It’s gone from tragic to abominable. When you have to pressure a government to accept aid because they’d rather steal it and keep it from their people, just letting them die so they can hold onto power… abysmal. A sham. What do you call it? Subjecticide? Voter-cide? Relieficide? Unthinkable, one would have expected. And yet, it happens. Somebody really ought to do something…

An Evangelical Manifesto |
|
| May 09, 2008 10:00 AM |
| My people, my people: AP: Evangelical leaders say their faith is too politicized
I’ve read chunks of the manifesto. I like what I’ve read so far. There is some wonderful language about how Evangelicals should engage the public square in the future. I’m thinking about signing it.

GOING FOR THE WORSHIP |
|
| May 09, 2008 12:00 AM |
| One of the biggest reasons why so many people endure the abuse and control of their religion is because there is something within that religion that they believe they can't get on their own. Perhaps the biggest thing that people think they can't do themselves is the act of worship. It is as if they believe that the church holds the patent on worship. I cannot tell you how many times I've heard people admit that the only reason they come to church anymore is "for the worship". This has become suc |

What’s up with Book Pricing? |
|
| May 08, 2008 08:00 PM |
| What’s up with book prices? I was looking for a certain few titles at Amazon.com… a few from my own wishlist and a few for my wife. Those of us in Canada are well-aware of the “Canadian pricing” that appears on books printed in the USA. For example, if I reach out beside me and pick up the library copy I have of William McKeen’s Highway 61: A Father-and-Son Journey through the Middle of America, the price is listed at $24.95, which sounds about right for a 280- |
