Three Years Ago

Three Years Ago Today I Despised Jesus

I can’t believe what I was like three years back!! Three years back I had a totally different worldview and ...

Cheers to three years! Hope for more in year four!

Today marks my third year knowing and walking with God and marks the forth year that I am about to enter in to. It’s been a fun year, full of tears, full of growth and answered prayer. It pretty much closely marks a full year being in Canada and a full year being involved with [...]

Filthy Roman Sponge

Today I read the below passage and it reminded me of a sermon I listened to some time back. Well… anyway… thought some of you might be interested to know the historical context of the soured wine and the sponge. Mark 15:33-37 33 And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole [...]

The No. 1 Question That Will Break Me Down

“How are you doing?” There are two types of how-are-you-doings which I will call, for the sake of this argument, Type A and Type B, both of which elicit it’s own response. Type A The Type A how-are-you-doing, is the general small talk starter. It belongs in to the same family as the how-was-your-week and how’s-life. Answers [...]

Our Church Plant is Exploding!!

How Dare You: Cowardly men who abuse, neglect and dishonor women

Here’s a snippet of the end of a sermon at Mars Hill Church, Seattle, by Mark Driscoll. I started listening to Driscoll around about January 2008, after I was introduced to one of his books, ‘Confessions of a Reformission Rev.‘. His preaching is awesome! Jesus has used him a lot to teach me, convict me [...]

The Blessings of Being a Single Female Christian Missionary

So… In a previous post I have described my struggles, specifically pertaining to being single as a female missionary, or a single female Christian in general. This week, however, the Holy Spirit has really been working at me again, reluctantly He is moulding me, or chiseling me in to shape… the antagonism with wanting to [...]

When The Rain Came Life Came With It

It had been a crazy July in BC, there was barely any rain, and about 2.5mm of precipitation over the whole of July. Trees are literally dying outside on our street. Thunderstorms hit Whistler sometime on the last day of July, and it slowly moved down to Squamish, and possibly Vancouver. It was pretty awesome [...]

“Son of Man” an accurate portrayal of a false Jesus

So I watched this movie… Son of Man, the first South African movie to debut at the Sundance festival, and directed by Mark Dornford-May.

Aside from its distortion [...]

“Son of Man” – I wanna see!

So… whilst browsing for a dvd to watch tonight, I found this movie in the rental store. It’s the story of Jesus set in contemporary modern day South Africa…. looks cool and it supposed to be “smarter than Mel Gibson’s Passion”. I have a feeling that it portrays Jesus as more of a political figure [...]
