OddBabblings: The Emperor's New Clothes Are All a Size Zero
http://oddbabblings.blogspot.com/2011/05/emperors-new-clothes-are-all-size-zero.html
Tuesday, 17 May 2011. The Emperor's New Clothes Are All a Size Zero. This is an article I wrote for a zine called Fatty. I would like to precede it with the disclaimer that I am not talking about people who are unhealthily overweight, and I am certainly not making a comment about eating disorders which are another thing entirely. This is just about stupid women. Enjoy. Dance Teacher: “I’m trying to eat this slowly but it’s so difficult.”. Me: “Why are you trying to eat it slowly? 8221; because (a.) t...

OddBabblings: Unjust Desserts
http://oddbabblings.blogspot.com/2010/11/unjust-desserts.html
Friday, 5 November 2010. Anticipation can be a delicious thing. Especially in the context of one of my favourite hobbies: eating. Allow me to explain. The definition of a pudding is something sweet and delicious. In order to achieve the status of sweet deliciousness, one or more of the following must be present as a primary. Ingredient: custard, chocolate, cream. Did you see boiled up old fruit there? No Did you see broken old bits of biscuit? Somebody give me a custard injection. View my complete profile.

Matthew Doig: December 2008
http://matthewdoig.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2008. Technology and the future. Check out this amazing video about the progression of technology and the way the world is changing here. What does it all mean? From one man [God] made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us." Acts 17:26-27 (TNIV). If God is...

Matthew Doig: Possessed by God
http://matthewdoig.blogspot.com/2008/09/possessed-by-god-by-david-peterson.html
Wednesday, September 3, 2008. All this doesn't mean that we aren't to be growing and made more like Jesus. Rather it means that the process of transformation should be described in other language such as glorification, mortification, growth, etc. rather than speaking of sanctification. How can we see progress in the faith not primarily about me and God but about us as a church growing together up into Christ? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

OddBabblings: June 2010
http://oddbabblings.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 2 June 2010. Today I got my hair cut - an acutely anxiety provoking activity which I wrote about once before here. I don't have too much to add to what I said then, except to say that all my worst nightmares came true on this occasion. Kayla, ever the professional, smilingly said the following: "I'm just gonna pop a tissue on you there because I seem to have taken the top off a bleeding sore on your head with my comb.". Oddbabble. Glamour is her middle name. Links to this post. One In, One Out.

Matthew Doig: June 2008
http://matthewdoig.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2008. Are there questions that a non-Christian could ask that we should dismiss as being in-house? In apologetics we want to demonstrate the solid foundations of our house - we have the best reasons to believe. We want to show how wonderful the house is - what the basic truths of the gospel are. But surely we also want to invite the non-Christian to see what life in the house is like? They want to know, is this house a house where women wear hats at the family gathering? Want to think th...

Matthew Doig: August 2008
http://matthewdoig.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 8, 2008. Naming the Elephant' by James Sire focuses on the concept of worldview. Sire has done lots of work on this previously and is author of 'The Universe Next Door'. In this book he reviews and modifies his previous definition and understanding of what a worldview is. The way you conceive of a worldview is in itself influenced by your own worldview. Worldviews can be expressed in propositional statements but also in stories. His final, revised definition of a worldview is as follows.

Matthew Doig: Evolution and Evangelism
http://matthewdoig.blogspot.com/2009/03/evolution-and-evangelism.html
Thursday, March 26, 2009. Evolution is a secondary issue. 1 Evolution and naturalism are not the same thing. Belief in evolution as a process is very different from the all encompassing worldview of naturalism. 2 Understanding a process does not remove God. 3 It is legitimate to reconsider our understanding of scripture in the light of scientific discoveries. 4 It is possible to believe the Bible and evolution. 1 Someone does not need to stop believing in evolution to become a Christian. Belief in evolut...

Matthew Doig: April 2008
http://matthewdoig.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 24, 2008. Nostalgia's not what it was. This thought is completely plagarised from a lecture by Carl Trueman (available from www.theologynetwork.org - great website) but I found it really helpful and wanted to tell someone. (Besides, nothing's orginal, it's all been thought of by God first). Q Are we more wicked and sinful now than we were? What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! O Lord my God!
