The Gospel of John: The Conclusion

Date November 28th, 2007 Comment No Comments

John 20 and 21.
Jesus appears to His disciples and declares “peace be with you.” This common Jewish greeting implies more that simply peace as “absence of war or strife.” The Biblical concept of peace rests in a right relationship with God. In John 20, we see Jesus, the resurrected Christ- fully God […]

Thanksgiving

Date November 21st, 2007 Comment 2 Comments

I count my blessings every day, but this year seems extra-sweet.  God has been so gracious to give me a wonderful wife, Melody, and a precious daughter Emaline.  I pray daily that I will bless them the way God has blessed me through them.  So, our first Thanksgiving as a nuclear family unit is very […]

Silence

Date November 19th, 2007 Comment No Comments

Silence, by the Japanese author Shusaku Endo, is quite possibly one of the best novels I’ve ever read.  It follows the journey of a 17th century Portuguese priest and his missionary work in Japan.  The protagonist deals with issues of apostasy and the silence of God in the midst of human trials.
As I finished reading […]

So, look me up…be my friend… And as you can see from the pic above, my sweet daughter is helping me set it up.

In John 19, Jesus reveals His humanity and His deity.  […]

More on Humility

Date November 13th, 2007 Comment 1 Comment

As you can imagine (since I’m a recovering rock star), humility does not come naturally to me. Honestly, there is a lot going on in my life right now to teach me humility. In the past year, I’ve read C.J. Mahaney’s Humility: True Greatness twice, and currently on my third with a group […]

Beyond the Neighbourhood

Date November 11th, 2007 Comment No Comments

Wes, as always, is the first to find the latest good music.  Over the past several weeks at The WELL, I’ve noticed some good tunes.  I’ve really been digging the newest Athlete album Beyond the Neighbourhood (thanks to Alex).  I listened through headphones whilst on a brisk Autumn bike ride.  However you choose to, definitely […]

John 17

Date November 9th, 2007 Comment 1 Comment

The high priestly prayer of Jesus in John 17 marks the coming conclusion of His earthly ministry. In the prayer, Jesus prays for His own glorification, His disciples, and those who will come to faith through their testimony.
Jesus prays for the glorification of the Son (vv. 1-5):  Jesus makes the distinction that eternal life […]
