Profile

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.

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.

My God and King

I didn’t prepare a “Good Friday” post to put up today, but I tell you reader, this is a holy day for myself and my family. It is the day when we solemnly recall what our God and King endured in order to secure our redemption from sin. This He did, even while we hated Him. Nothing can compare to this love, and no amount of trying will ever reciprocate it in full. We receive it, we remember it, and by grace we give our God and King what glory we can while dressed as we are in sinful, mortal coils.

Thank you God my Father, for loving me, and sending your Son (my Lord Jesus), to redeem me even when I was Your enemy. You know my heart, that it longs to rise to exalt you as you deserve, and that it looks forward to the day when I shall look upon the face of my Redeemer, and shall know Him even as I am known by Him.

What a day! What a glorious day that shall be!

Until that day we remember you Lord, in your suffering on earth, in your receiving the wrath directed at our sin, and this in order to secure us for eternity.

You are most worthy of all praise.
