  • Winter’s Quiet Passing | Posted by Mart De Haan on Jul 01 2009

    While acknowledging the passing of a number of celebrities this past week, was reminded of the way CS Lewis quietly slipped away just before his 65th birthday on Nov 22, 1963, the same day that JF Kennedy was assassinated.
    Something similar happened this past week when an important spokesman for unreached people quietly passed from our [...]

  • A Star is Born in Britain | Posted by Mart De Haan on Apr 15 2009

    OK, people, I’m probably coming late to the party. But I just heard about this Youtube sensation that apparently is bringing more than a few of us to tears.
    Came home a little while ago to work on my tax return. My wife sat me down and said, “You have to see this.” So now, [...]

  • Tax Day | Posted by Mart De Haan on Apr 15 2009

    Can’t believe it. Once again have put off doing my tax filing until the last minute. Guess I know what I’ll be doing tonight.
    Death and taxes, isn’t that what they say we all have to look forward to? If that’s all we have to look forward to… Sure glad there’s more.
    Just remembered Peggy Lee’s [...]

  • WOC Update | Posted by Mart De Haan on Jan 03 2009

    Have mentioned before my conviction that the wonders and disasters of the natural world are powerful evidence of what the Bible tells us about God, the brokenness of our world, and ourselves.

    For openers we have,

    The reminder of what God made, called good, and entrusted to us (Gen 1)
    The physical evidence that tells the story of [...]

  • Israel, Gaza, and Good or Bad Faith | Posted by Mart De Haan on Dec 29 2008

    It has now been more than 2009 years since the birth of Jesus. The Middle East remains at the swirling center of worlds news. The descendants of Abraham and Sarah are still fighting over a small strip of land.
    Many of us see the rockets going into and out of Gaza as being linked, not only [...]

  • The Tough Side of Grace | Posted by Mart De Haan on Dec 26 2008

    Going into the Christmas holiday, I was focused on what can appear to be the scandalously generous side of grace. Found myself drawn back time and again to the priceless gift expressed in the words, “The Word (God) became flesh and lived among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only [...]

  • Mary Did You Know? | Posted by Mart De Haan on Dec 24 2008

    Never got the last winter storm that was supposed to materialize today. Instead we got a lot of rain and a flood watch. The Grand River, for which our town is named (Grand Rapids, MI), has developed an ice jam and backed up to flood stage. Now the wind is kicking up and the temperature [...]

  • The Story of Saint Nick | Posted by Mart De Haan on Dec 13 2008

    A friend sent me this four minute and 33 second YouTube link that seems to say something about our discussion of the last couple of days. I have never heard about Nick before. But I’ve found several links on YouTube that tell his inspiring story. He doesn’t call himself Saint Nick, but I am. Here’s [...]

  • You Make this so Worthwhile! | Posted by Mart De Haan on Nov 29 2008

    Am still thinking this morning about some of the comments written to this blog yesterday. I agree so much with what SFDBWV wrote when he said,
    “The Bible is many things, one thing it is, is a story. Not just a story, but a story about God and man’s experiences. Apart and together…Life without others [...]

  • Have You Checked Out wonderofcreation.org? | Posted by Mart De Haan on Nov 05 2008

    If you haven’t yet checked out wonderofcreation.org, hosted by RBC’s Dean Ohlman, wish you’d take the chance to have a look.
    Am catching my breath today. Will try to be back tomorrow.
