Christmas is a season of traditions, and I think we’ve started a new one in our family. My daughters and I have discovered the joy of driving at night with Christmas music turned up ridiculously loud and singing together at the top of our lungs. One of their favourites is Mary Did You Know. There …
Yesterday the world heard that Christopher Hitchens had died. He was a writer, polemicist, commentator and famous atheist. I remember watching one of his debates with John Lennox in Edinburgh (on video) a couple of years back. Following the news of his death it was interesting to see the surge of comments on twitter yesterday – …
This week we are delighted to share a guest post from Cor Deo 2011 team member Huw Williams. Huw is now pastoring the International Church of Torino, in Italy (his blog is here). Over to Huw: ____________________________________________ I wonder if you saw this. There was a powerful moment in a government press conference here this …
Most of us find security in numbers. We like to be with others—to go with a crowd. And a strong majority vote is the ultimate measure of a good democracy. So, too, as those involved in economics or politics say before they make a key decision, “Let’s look at the numbers.” Numbers, after all, don’t …
Whenever Isaiah 6 is mentioned, there is usually a specific observation in the mix. Actually, I’ve probably said it myself in the past. I don’t deny it. But I do want to offer what might be a helpful balancing observation. Holy, holy, holy. The only time a description is repeated three times of God, it …
Humans love being religious. That’s not to say everyone loves a given religion—or even the notion of religion. Rather I’m thinking of religion as a profound, worship-like devotion in life. In the secular West, for instance, the prominence of the Christian Church may have faded over time but the impulse to worship remains lively. My …
I was in an enlightening conversation recently. The person I was interacting with was on a bit of a roll on a certain issue. At one point they asserted that in the gospel they find self-fulfillment, identity, status, position, value. I chipped in with, “Oh, it’s better than that, in the gospel you get Christ!” …
My generation of Christians love rationalistic debates. And one favorite debating point is the question of salvation: among professing believers who is truly saved? Whenever that question is raised claims and counterclaims fly: “You don’t have any right to judge us!” Or, “You’re bending the Bible to build your view!” And again, “Our faith offers …
During Cor Deo we had a visit from Glen Scrivener. He made a comment that has stuck with me. He was critiquing the idea that we should first establish common ground with an unbeliever by establishing agreement on the existence of “God“ as some sort of ultimate being (after all, many people are open to …
The residents of Jerusalem during King Josiah’s reign (640-609 BC) experienced a revival that came with a rediscovery of God’s previously ignored and misplaced Word. Zephaniah, a prophet, warned that enjoying the memory of a revival is not the same as living in response to God. The problem? The people of his day were ready …
