Something to make you think.
Not that I see myself as living simply.
No, it’s something that I am being drawn towards, and resisting at the same time.
Some to make me think.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
(Edmund Burke)

Recently we hosted a prayer walk at our Ministry Centre.
It was an amazing opportunity to spend an hour alone with God.
Eight stations took each participant through the petitions of the Lord’s Prayer.
The following video montage cannot capture the impact of the experience.

Technology is amazing!
It can do everything… or almost everything.
This video below is a good reminder that technology has it’s limits.
It may also have its downside.
Now that we can read the bible on our gadgets, we can have it with us everywhere, always.
I wonder if this means that we read it more, or if in fact we read it less.
Now its just one app or widget among many, and it may get lost among the work or game apps.
When I have used my gadget bible in church, I’ve been very self-conscious about others.
“Is he reading the bible, or playing Angry Birds, or texting, or checking his emails, or updating his status?”
And if I get a notification while reading the bible, will I check it?
What are some of the limitations or downsides you have experienced with technological spirituality?

Not sure if you are a Star Wars fan.
I am both a Star Wars fan, and a listener to classical music.
But here we have the creative blending of both, and I love it!
Enjoy the video (turn up your speakers).

“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 7:12)
Paul, a Jewish convert to Jesus Christ, notes how even non-Jews (Gentiles) understand the heart of the law because it is written on their hearts.

13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14 Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them. 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

Is this why we observe a deep agreement among the world religions about the summary of the Law?
