The Sound and the Fury. Friday, January 07, 2011. Why Our Dialogue is so Disjointed. America has never been a true democracy, is not now a true democracy, and most likely never will be a true democracy. But hardwired into our national subconscious, somewhere right alongside our love of liberty, is a desire to be a nation of the people, by the people, for the people- a democracy. Why did the Founders bother with those states rights? Why do we still concern ourselves with them? As a nation of over 300 mill...

http://thepoetsstool.blogspot.com/2011/02/origen-on-prayer.html
Time was, when a poet sat upon a stool in a public place and mused in the sight of men." Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities. Feb 27, 2011. Origen, "On Prayer". I've been doing a study of the practice and theology of Christian prayer. Early on I came across a reference to a text by the patristic writer Origen titled simply "On Prayer." The treatise is available in translation for free, courtesy of the good folks at CCEL.org. The following notes are from chapters 3-5 of Origen's treatise On Prayer:.

Time was, when a poet sat upon a stool in a public place and mused in the sight of men." Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities. Mar 28, 2011. One of the men at church, Illya, told me he had often wondered just that, and liked some of the responses I quoted. But he also had another question for which I do not have a ready answer: why does the bible tell us that it is important to offer up the same request repeatedly? And what is with those parables in which God comes off looking rather shabby, likened to a...

Potentially) on going thoughts about social sector leadership. You can add more of your own examples- there is no shortage. But once more I ask, how is that different from the business sector? Surely if we learned anything from the past five years it is that the business world is quite capable of creating false numbers; of reaching for short term gains without a lon...

The Poet's Stool: Not a Tame Lion

Time was, when a poet sat upon a stool in a public place and mused in the sight of men." Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities. Jun 10, 2011. Not a Tame Lion. The following video clip by Francis Chan was emailed to me a couple of weeks back and has had me thinking. Chan's message in the video reminds me of a memorable line from C.S. Lewis' Narnia books, which warns that while the lion Aslan is good "he's not a tame. You say, "God is so much greater than you, who are you to judge his choices or actions?

Time was, when a poet sat upon a stool in a public place and mused in the sight of men." Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities. Mar 1, 2010. While visiting family in Michigan last week we attended morning chapel at Calvin College (my alma matter). It was Friday, which in Calvin tradition means the whole chapel service is dedicated to worship through music. Early on in the service the worship leader noted that we are entering the season of Lent, a time in which we seek to realign our appetites. There are t...
