Name:Daniel Home: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada About Me: I used to believe that evolution was reasonable, that homosexuality was genetic, and that people became Christians because they couldn't deal with the 'reality' that this life was all there was. I used to believe, that if there was a heaven - I could get there by being good - and I used to think I was more or less a good person. I was wrong on all counts. One day I finally had my eyes opened and I saw that I was not going to go to heaven, but that I was certainly going to suffer the wrath of God for all my sin. I saw myself as a treasonous rebel at heart - I hated God for creating me just to send me to Hell - and I was wretched beyond my own comprehension. Into this spiritual vacuum Jesus Christ came and he opened my understanding - delivering me from God's wrath into God's grace. I was "saved" as an adult, and now my life is hid in Christ. I am by no means sinless, but by God's grace I am a repenting believer - a born again Christian. My complete profile...
The Buzz
Daniel's posts are almost always pastoral and God centered. I appreciate and am challenged by them frequently. He has a great sense of humor as well. - Marc Heinrich
His posts are either funny or challenging. He is very friendly and nice. - Rose Cole
[He has] good posts, both the serious like this one, and the humorous like yesterday. [He is] the reason that I have restrained myself from making Canadian jokes in my posts. - C-Train
This post contains nothing that is of any use to me. What were you thinking? Anyway, it's probably the best I've read all day. - David Kjos
Daniel, nicely done and much more original than Frank the Turk. - Jonathan Moorhead
There are some people who are smart, deep, or funny. There are not very many people that are all 3. Daniel is one of those people. His opinion, insight and humor have kept me coming back to his blog since I first visited earlier this year. - Carla Rolfe
Dude, MJF looks totally whack in the first part, but then seems to calm down, and yeah, this will definitely hit 'em where it hurts, the heartstrings...
We cannot afford to be dispassionate, but neither can we afford to be misinformed, as the second video shows us...
What's that verse in Proverbs about the first answer seems right until....
I appreciate his position - he is desperate, and he is less informed than he could/should be.
If I was convinced that this life was all there was, and that once it was gone I too would eternally end - well, immediately the most important thing in my world is -ME-. That is what is so ugly about self, it acts as if there is no God. If I thought that this was all there is - what do I care if thousands, or tens of thousands die - surely increasing the standard of my all-important life is more than worth any price.
I thought about selling out - you know, preaching an unoffensive gospel, followed up with an impotent faith, and a message that everything is okay no matter what - but I found that I couldn't keep a straight face.
His attitude basically defines the social gospel that causes many to support the democratic ticket in the U.S. There is the inexplicable desire to solve the problems of humanity. But failure to understand the cause will doom any efforts at "changing" society.
Only the gospel through the power of the resurrected Christ lived out in the lives of His people can effect this world in a positive and eternal way.
I didn't see the press conference after this ad hit, but I wonder if he was this wacked out then. I've never seen anyone with his disease, at his age, that has taken their medicine (as he said he did), in this condition.
