I would do anything… (Spiritual discipline part 2)
We all have heroes of faith, people we look up to that are giants compared to ourselves. Many times have I looked at these giants and said I would do anything to be like him or her. It reminds me of teh commentSteve Martin made at the Oscars a few yeras back. Looking out over…
The race (Spiritual discipline part 1)
There is a race on, theres always a race. Bring a bunch of people together and the game is on. Who is the best, who is the greatest who is number one. It is true outside the church and inside the church. Who is the holiest, who is the best preacher, who has the deepest…
Those pentacostals
Reading the swedish Christian newspaper dagen today I found this article. It states that the goal of this years evangelist week is to “Reinstate (or maybe reintroduce) God and open up the churches for more people” It’s incredible what those pentacostals can come up with…. the nerve, to invite God to church. All joking aside,…
The power of words
On the Swedish Salvation army youth community Blood and Fire a discussion has come up if there is literature that is dangerous for Christians to read it seems the concensus is that it depends on who is reading it and how impressionable you are. I tried to phraze a response but it turned out to…
Oh how the great have fallen….
A little more than a year ago I was present at Dataphones (A swedish [[ISP]] where I used to be a System Administrator) anniversary party. The secret guestspeaker was Christer Sturmark who spoke eloquently and with great panache about the information society and how we have arrived where we are today. I was impressed not…
The trials of life
Angelina was watching Joseph this morning and as I was watching the beginning of this cartoon it struck me how, no matter how hard Josephs father tried to create a protected environment to lead Joseph to his destiny, Joseph still had to go through the worst possible trials to get to the pharaos hous and…
Happy St. Crispins day!
Today is St. Crispins day. Maybe a good day to remember the war we are in and the cost to fight it. St. Crispin was a humble evangelist who worked as a shoemaker during the day and preached the gospel during the evenings. Together with his brother he evangelised the [[Gauls]] before meeting a very…
Random acts of kindness
Sometimes I grow a tad cynical and weary of the selfishness of the world. It seems like the only law that governs our reality is [[Murphys law]], it certanly felt that way when I was standing at the Dallas Fort Worth airport and they told me that I was not allowed to check in three…
Trust
I was watching the latest episode of Battlestar galactica, and a very short conversation between Adama and Sharon (actually there was several good conversations between the two) struck me. Sharon: Sir, How do you know you can trust me? Adama: I don’t, that’s what trust is… In todays society we like to be sure, we…
I’d die for my colors!
This was the cry of a young hispanic male in the movie “blood in blood out” making a grim portrait about gang life in LA. It is interesting to note that these young gangbangers are willing to do anything to defend the honor of their colors (wich is a gang tatoo, and a bandana of…
Humpty dumpty…
We are having a Farscape Marathon at home and watching 2×05 Crackers don’t matter I find myself repeating Crichtons question after he quotes the famous nursery rhyme: “Humptey Dumptey sat on a wall. Humtey Dumptey had a great fall and all the kings horses, all the kings men could nt put Humtey Dumptey back together…
