In a recent tweet, John Piper said:If you are having trouble reading your Bible with deep and affecting meaning, imagine that you will die in about eight hours.
In other words, if the Bible isn't doing it for you, the next time you read it, imagine someone is holding a gun to your head. That should make those Scripture passages pop. I can only imagine how he would advise someone struggling to get through "War and Peace." And what would John Piper be doing if he found out he had only eight hours to live? TweetingRead More

When we are young we are often puzzled by the fact that each person we admire seems to have a different version of what life ought to be, what a good man is, how to live, and so on. If we are especially sensitive it seems more than puzzling, it is disheartening. What most people usually do is to follow one person's ideas and then another's depending on who looms largest on one's horizon at the time. The one with the deepest voice, the strongest appearance, the most authority and success, is usually the one who gets our momentary

When I walked away [from the faith], I was rejecting the whole thing. It was the whole system of Christian belief — that a remnant of people would be saved from the fire,” she said. ”I don‘t believe the God of the universe would create a place called ’hell.’

Strong hate, the hate that takes joy in hating, is strong because it does not believe itself to be unworthy and alone. It feels the support of a justifying God, of an idol of war, an avenging and destroying spirit. From such blood-drinking gods the human race was once liberated, with great toil and terrible sorrow, by the death of a God Who delivered Himself to the Cross and suffered pathological cruelty of His own creatures out of pity for them. In conquering death He opened their eyes to the reality of a love which asks no questions about

I have to admit I've been a little slow to embrace Twitter. Probably the result of reading too many inane, narcissistic posts early on, before anyone really knew how to use it. Of course, all that's changed now that Twitter has been declared an inanity and narcissism-free zone. You know, like Facebook. But now that we're starting to do the social media thing to help spread the word on Hellbound?, I'm taking Twitter a little more seriously. And I have to admit, I'm beginning to realize the error of my Luddite ways. Of the 89 people I'mRead More

For the past several afternoons I've been teaching documentary writing to a class in Perth, Australia. The interesting thing is, I've been doing it from my office in Abbotsford, BC via the oft-overlooked miracle of Skype. I've never done this sort of thing before, but I think it's a great solution to what is often a punishing travel schedule. As we've worked through the fundamentals of documentary writing, something I've pounded into them is the importance of coming up with a strong premise, a story question that's compelling enough to make viewers stick around and see how things turn out.
