Rev Downtown: Gospel Mission and the 3 P's
http://revdowntown.blogspot.com/2015/05/gospel-mission-and-3-ps.html
Sunday, May 24, 2015. Gospel Mission and the 3 P's. In one of his sermons on Living Truth. Does that not apply to Gospel Mission? Has been playing out pretty much since the Mission was founded in 1929, in the Mission's principle of "God's food first" and its emphasis on being a place of Worship, ministry of the Gospel and demonstration of the love of Christ. Through miracles), shows how God has made sure the ministry's worldly needs are being met. And now we come to God's power. These views are my own: p...

Rev Downtown: February 2015
http://revdowntown.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 16, 2015. Terry's Tale - "I'm not a lucky man". Today is Terry Hill's birthday, so it's fitting that this entry would be his story - because 5 years ago, there may have been some question as to whether he'd even see this day. Terry Hill almost literally stumbled in The Lord's Rain in March of 2010. It turned out to be a pivotal moment in his life, and . let's let him tell the story . 8220;Well,” Drew said to John, “let us pray before we call.”. I remember rolling my eyes into my forehead...

Rev Downtown: The Importance of the Gospel
http://revdowntown.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-importance-of-gospel.html
Sunday, July 5, 2015. The Importance of the Gospel. About a year and a half ago, I wrote a post. About the real antidote to poverty, namely, having the Gospel preached to the poor. Today, I got some reinforcement for that point. For You, O God, have tested us;. You had refined us as silver is refined. You brought us into the net;. You laid affliction on our backs. You have caused men to ride over our heads;. We went through fire and through water;. But You brought us out to rich fulfillment. These views ...

Rev Downtown: July 2014
http://revdowntown.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 16, 2014. Better Living through Chemistry! And a New Daily Record! My former roommate, Patrick, and I used to joke about mind-altering drugs by dropping into our best radio voices and saying, "Better living through chemistry". Odd, isn't it, how things we used to think were funny are no longer so? It's been said that drugs are not the problem on the Downtown East Side, they're the solution. My doctor paid for this! She often makes reference to my former job.]. The next morning, as I was h...

Rev Downtown: October 2014
http://revdowntown.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2014. It's all about HOPE. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity." (1 Cor. 13:13 KJV). We hear much about faith and charity (actually, the Greek word Paul used was agàpé,. Which means selfless, unconditional love - "charity" was the best King James I's team could come up with) as the Great Spiritual Characteristics, but hope. Through a long sequence of events, I learned that his shoulder was basically inoperable. Because he was ...

Rev Downtown: March 2015
http://revdowntown.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 19, 2015. You Just Never Know . One of the recurring - and possibly overworked - points I make when I talk about the Downtown East Side is that anyone is just one misstep away from winding up in a situation similar to the "street people". It might be something obvious or it might be something seemingly minor, that sets off a cascade of events. Aside from exacerbating Mike's anger issues, the drug use has savaged his physical state, with ghastly open sores appearing on his face. I foun...

Rev Downtown: From The Lord's Rain: the Moccasin Telegraph
http://revdowntown.blogspot.com/2015/07/from-lords-rain-moccasin-telegraph.html
Tuesday, July 7, 2015. From The Lord's Rain: the Moccasin Telegraph. In this day and age of texting, instant messages, Facebook and Twitter (not Google Plus - that's like putting a message in a bottle and throwing it off a ship . into a whirlpool), moccasin telegraph is still the main way of finding out about people on the Downtown East Side. This, for example, was pasted up on some hoardings next to Gospel Mission (I blotted out the names):. I've written about Denise before. Making a difference and.

Rev Downtown: December 2014
http://revdowntown.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 27, 2014. The SeaBus Safety Announcement: a fond farewell. This is one of those “wistful moments”: the Transport Canada safety announcement that I voiced for the MV Burrard Pacific Breeze. Which was launched in 2009, was built with significantly different specifications from the first SeaBuses – the Burrard Otter. And the Burrard Beaver –. Labels: downtown east side. Monday, December 1, 2014. Thank you, Ken! There's nothing like a dressing-down from a judge to put your life on-track.
