Understanding myself

admin — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 03:15:32 +0000

The other night I was thinking: will there be sadness in heaven? This seems like a random question, and one that does not relate to identity, but I have grown to understand lately that it is sometimes sadness that speaks more into who we are than happiness. Sadness can reveal more to us about ourselves [...]

Spirituality defined

admin — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 07:28:48 +0000

Spirituality is one of those words in the English language that everyone knows what it means, but no one knows what it means to other people. Even my dictionary on Microsoft Word is telling me it can be the “quality or condition of being spiritual” or “church property or revenue.” It also recommends as synonyms: [...]

Christmas is often a time of joy and excitement, but for almost a quarter of North Americans, Christmas is a time of depression.

This time of year can be bittersweet for many of us. On the one hand, we have banked 30 more credits towards our degree. On the other, we’ll be leaving for the summer, will have good friends leaving for good, and for those of us graduating, this is the cap on the life we have [...]

Lessons from Jesus on Christian subculture

admin — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 06:25:50 +0000

Christianity, like any large group, has more than its fair share of subcultures. Attending public schools my entire life, and finding kids I would meet at youth group weird and socially inept, I was resigned to be the only Christian in my groups of friends growing up.

For all the saints, who from their labors rest, who thee by faith before the world confessed, thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blessed. Alleluia, Alleluia! If you’ve ever set foot on campus, you’ve seen those Globe and Mail banners – the ones that boast the A+’s in overall quality of education. This issue, we [...]

But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.Micah 5:2 (KJV) Bethlehem means “house of bread,” and the name refers to the fact that [...]
