Richard Handler, the CBC radio’s “Ideas” man, wrote what I think is a fair and balanced report on the God vs. Science debate. Take a look see here. There’s one sentence though that I’d like to comment on: “And when He wants, He can break the laws of physics and create a miracle.” I prefer the theologian Torrance’s idea as is expressed in his treatment of the resurrection: “In fulfillment of his eternal design God has acted in the resurrection...

I want to discuss the pastor’s struggle. I should have the same mind as Jesus. But, as this cartoon reveals, it’s difficult for pastors to resist resentment towards people. Jesus ministered freely without concern for his success. I, however, gauge my ministry’s success by attendance, the size of the offering, the number of compliments I receive, or even the spiritual health of the people. I’m convinced that we as pastors must divest ourselves of this concern for success and its... Read more
this cartoon was sent to me by brad shorr over at funny business. he thought i’d like it, and he was right! check them out. other sites that have cartoons that i enjoy checking out are hugh macleod’s gapingvoid, blaugh, matt glover over at chewing pencils, and andre jordan’s over at a beautiful revolution. even though they are not, for the most part, religious, and even though to some of you, be warned, some of them may be offensive, they...
