It's a Lie

Tolerance is the favourite word of all things progressive.  We are supposed to support diversity in all forms whether we are talking of race, creed, sexual orientation or gender.  After all we live in a pluralistic society where multiple cultures, religions and morals co-exist.

It is a lie.  The progressives do not want tolerance.  They want a totalitarianism of thought.  Anyone who does not agree with the party line must be silenced or browbeaten into submission. 

This week Google fired an engineer who had the audacity to suggest that men and women are not the same - that there are biological differences between the genders.  As well, he accused the corporation of slanting its search results towards all things progressive.  For deviating from the google dogma, his livelihood was taken away.

This should shock no one.  The ruling party in the Canadian Parliament has refused to allow anyone who does not agree with abortion on demand to be democratically chosen by a riding association to run for the party.  The Democrats in the States are eyeing the very same rule for their candidates.  A baker in Seattle was fined $135,000 for refusing to make a $400 wedding cake for a gay couple. A Washington State florist lost her business over the same issue.

The progressives do not want tolerance.  They want to punish all who disagree with them - and the punishment must be so severe that others will think twice before they dare to disagree with the liberal groupthink.

Families' Fridays

Starting a Family Devotion Time by Michael Kelley I haven’t always been a family devotion guy. It’s not because I didn’t want or aspire to be, I honestly did. But we went a long time as a family before pulling the trigger and trying to integrate this practice into the regular rhythm of our family life.  We’ve been doing morning devotions together for about five years now – long enough to where our kids expect that we will. It’s a long road, as are most things with young children I’m finding out. Though revival doesn’t break out every morning over eggs and toast, our continued hope and prayer is that times like these build into the love and discipline our children will have in the future when it comes to God’s Word.  Through those five years, we’ve tried different things, failed at a bunch, and have learned some things along the way. So, as encouragement to those of you just starting out or maybe some affirmation for those of you already in ...

Why is no one trying to be like John the Baptist?

This Sunday morning the sermon was taken from John 3:22-36.  In that passage, two of the disciples of John come to him with the report that Jesus was now baptizing more people than John.  John's response is one of the most humble in all of Scripture.  It was in reading that response that a thought occurred to me.  With all the leadership and ministry books out there, why do we not have people picking up on the ministry style of John the Baptist?  Maybe I am a little cynical, but I guy who gets his head chopped off might be a bit of a tough sell in our success-driven marketplace.  Can you imagine the title?  "Five Easy Steps to Losing Your Head." I can't imagine that book making it on the Christian bestsellers list. Yet John the Baptist is a great example to those of us in ministry.  His clarity about his own place and role in the ministry are worthy of emulation.  Here are some of the observations I made as I looked at his response to ...

Oops!

I can be a real klutz.  I have very few manual skills and I never grew out of the "tripping over my own feet" stage of life.  I have fumbled and dropped more than my fair share of balls. In other words, "oops" has been a regular part of my vocabulary. It is not only in the physical world that I have fumbled things.  I have messed up relationships.  I have prejudged people before ever getting to know them.  I have used and abused those who love me most in this world.  I have failed and sinned my way into more than one tight corner and created untold disasters.  Oops is not even sufficient for the ways that I have blown it. Perhaps that is why something Paul, our worship leader last Sunday, said resonated so deeply with me this week.  He said "Oops is never said in heaven."  Our God never is clumsy.  He never makes mistakes. His plans never go belly-up.  He never fails.  He never ever has to say oops - and that comforts me.
