Ever since I made a concerted effort to explore the Christian music scene, and discover the “good music” that I knew was out there, I’ve been aware of the controversy of Christian love songs. Controversy? Yes, in between the awkward attempts and lame lyrics, there were a number of good sounding attempts (for their time),…

Song of Songs
Recently, on a Thanksgiving road-trip out east to PEI, I listened to a four-part message from James MacDonald called Romantic Love. I then found my next bible reading book was Song of Songs which that sermon series was based on. I usually share select verses, ones that particularly strike me, on Facebook and I was wondering…
The Bible and Uniformitarianism
In modern geology, “Uniformitarianism is the assumption that the same natural laws and processes that operate in the universe now have always operated in the universe in the past and apply everywhere in the universe.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniformitarianism Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil…
Happy Easter
So the LORD God said to the serpent [in the Garden of Eden], “Because you have done this, “Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike…

Peter Furler – On Fire
I’ve been listening to Peter Furler’s On Fire quite intensely the past couple of weeks. Give it a shot, it’s an amazing creation from the former Newsboys front-man. Here’s a taste of the album, Greater Is He…
Titanium vs Supafly
I’m not a frequent patron of clubs but apparently there’s a popular song making the rounds lately… Titanium’s a great song, catchy, fantastic vocals, uplifting and inspiring, but I have a complaint: it’s wrong. It’s wrong in its statement and it’s wrong in its message. It reminded me, by contrast, of a classic Thousand Foot…
In this hour…
In this hour, I awake to find you awake. I’ve seen you here before, but not from this place. It seems fitting then that I have lost mine. In this hour, even this hour, I know His hand is at work. Out late, up late, I don’t know which – but concern, and troubling jealously,…
