The Science of Love

February 29, 2004

Parablemania: The Science of Love: “three levels of what broadly might be called love: lust, romantic love, and long-term attachment. (In my terms, these would be lust, romantic infatuation, and love. I don’t see the second kind as really love, though it’s often blindly called that by younger people who have never experienced love.) Lust [...]

Passionate folly

February 29, 2004

Baconboy’s blog: “Which brings me to my second objection, which is that there is little about humans that are worthy of redemption in this movie. I take human sin and evil very seriously, including my own, but I also believe that there is a reason that God loved us enough to send Jesus to the [...]

The Passion is here (or at least in the US!)

February 29, 2004

blogs4God is listing all the differing Passion reviews (it has been sold-out). I love the paradox that Christians are promoting a film that in the UK will be an 18! I am a bit sad that I cannot really wade into these discussions as in the UK we still await our opportunity to view [...]

No well-worn Paths

For my unchurched friends (esp Mac- who seems to be softening in what he is saying). I can understand the fact that many of you feel that the church today is in a mess. But, there is no need to give up on it totally. In a great book No well-worn Paths [...]

Joshua Claybourn’s in the passion

February 27, 2004

Joshua : “It’s a constant reminder to me that God did not just take on human flesh for 33 years. Rather, Jesus was fully human, separated from the trinity and experiencing pain alone, abandoned. At some point we all cry out ‘Why God?’ The answers will not always come when we want them, we may [...]

Sympathy for the unchurched…..

February 25, 2004

Just a bit concerned some people might think I was being harsh on the walking wounded who have got out of dodgy churches.
Brothers and sisters, God loves the church.
Churches are in a mess at times.
Please understand that I do realise why many leave churches- I have left more than one!
I am also aware that finding [...]

I believe in the Devil……

February 25, 2004

MAc Swift is pleasing me again with this quote which he uses as a reminder that there really is a personal Devil:
“Oh, my job keeps getting easier,
as time keeps slipping away,
I can imitate your brightest light,
and make your night look just like day,
I put some truth in every lie, to tickle itching ears,
You know I’m [...]

NOT Bigger than Instapundit!

February 24, 2004

I havent checked out the Blogdom of God statistics in ages, so imagine my surprise to discover that we now have more imbound links and more recorded traffic than Instapundit, who is of course supposed to be the King of the Blogdom. It just goes to show that clubbing together can produce something stronger [...]

Reformed Charismatic

February 24, 2004

Last Sunday I preached a sermon entitled David and Nehemiah- the Hand of Grace as well as the audio, there is a powerpoint presentation available. The sermon details the so-called ‘Five points of Calvinism’ and the Baptism of the Spirit- a reformed charismatic combination. It is the kind of sermon likely to raise questions- [...]

More on the unchurched shall probably fall…….

February 24, 2004

Vessel of Honour replied:
“One can contribute and be a part of a community without going to a church though. At times not being tied down to any one particular church can be a liberating experience. It depends on the person and what God calls them to do though.”
Others spoke of the failures of the church, [...]
