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.

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.

| Thursday Haiku Challenge... |
It's Thursday, and I didn't feel like posting anything of great significance.
So I thought I would do another Haiku challenge. Today's challenge is to write an haiku that captures (as best as one can) some Christian doctrine.
Have fun.
(Haiku format: a poem that is three lines and seventeen syllables long, going five, seven, then five syllables per line).Labels: haiku |

The Atonement (in Haiku):
Sinner. Put in Christ.
Both die; (we blame the sinner).
Both rise, (Thank the Christ!)

The Gospel (in Haiku)
You sinned and are damned.
God will save from damnation
Repenters who trust.

With apologies to the Westminster Divines:
The chief end of man
Glorify God forever
Pleasure without end
Word of God contained
In Old and New Testaments
Tells how that is done
God is a spirit
Entirely unlimited
In ev’ry aspect
But one God is he
Three persons distinct yet one
A solo trio
The decretive Word
Of his sov’reign counsel
Ordains all that is
His creative hand
Made all that is from nothing
In six days all good
Man male and female
To them he gave dominion
In his image made
Gracious providence
Wise preserving governing
To his creatures giv’n

WSC continued …
A covenant made
A tree, a command, a promise
Alternative: death
Serpentine deceit
Nonconformity to law
Transgression of law
They ate of the fruit
God had strictly forbade them
Covenant broken
The covenant made
For Adam’s posterity
In Adam all died
Adam’s guilt shared
All corrupted, all defiled
Sin and misery
-
In describing God
We speak of a Trinity
God in three persons
-
Justification
We have been declared righteous
We have peace with God
-
Sanctification
We are growing in God's grace
We act more like Christ
-
Glorification
We have made it to heaven
Our eternal state
-
The last word verification before this comment was "logic"...this one is "tarings"...
-
Christ had two natures
Jesus was both God and man
The Theanthropos
-
Dead, cold hearts of stone
Holy Spirit breathes to life
Regeneration

Total Depravity (in Haiku)
Can you change your spots?
Neither can anyone else.
We are dead in sin.
-
Wow you guys really rock
Poets I never would thought
My forte no way
I am way out of my league, but I thought I'd give it a shot.
Have a blessed weekend, Mom's day with the fam, and Lord's day.

Daniel,
on behalf of Christians everywhere, I just want to apologize for that unseemly conversation. I really really don't appreciate that at all.
I won't be cheering on anyone who makes a public spectacle out of talking about a fellow... and "examining" intimate subject matter, such as another's personal testimony... publicly. UNCOOTH. Nope, not a fan.
Mark,
You're blogging again? Hi!
-
No worries Rose. I didn't think for a second you would complicit in that sort of stuff. God keep you from it, amen.
