Mom and Dad came to visit! Although it seemed too short, it was lovely hosting them out here. Thanks for the chats, coffee times, walks, and all the activities you did with the kids. And that particularly hilarious game of Quiddler! We love and miss you! Thank you for visiting us! Preparing a welcome banner to hang in their room. Gramma brought some craft supplies. They made their own foam visors. Making use of the packaging materials from our new daybed/pullout double bed. Tracing figures. Life Goes On .

The Anatomy of a Classis Exam | Sixteen Seasons
https://sixteenseasons.wordpress.com/2015/05/27/the-anatomy-of-a-classis-exam
The Anatomy of a Classis Exam. May 27, 2015. By Jeremy de Haan. Today was the first major milestone in my seminary career. There are the regular milestones of passing first, second, and third year, of course, milestones that are reached when you get that final year-end email that says Faculty Decision: May Proceed at the bottom. But today I was given the grace to sustain my first classis exam, the exam that allows me to preach in the churches. It’s the least serious of the three classis exams, but it.

Me: So, what’s it like having a dad who goes to seminary? James: It’s like you don’t get to see your dad very much. Only when he has the week off. Me: But that’s not quite true. You see dad for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. Me: What do you think about dad becoming a minister? He’ll always preach to us? 0600 ...

Lead Us, Evolution, Lead Us. May 12, 2015. By Jeremy de Haan. Here’s a poem by C.S. Lewis about evolution. I came across it in the comments section of a great blog post by Doug Wilson: And All God’s People Said, “Wut? 8220;Evolutionary Hymn”. Lead us, Evolution, lead us. Up the future’s endless stair;. Chop us, change us, prod us, weed us. For stagnation is despair:. Groping, guessing, yet progressing,. Lead us nobody knows where. Wrong or justice, joy or sorrow,. In the present what are they.

Pastor John van Popta's musings, reflections and commentary on things of the church and the world. Sunday, April 10, 2011. This is an article that I wrote recently for Clarion, our church magazine. So far, however, the Canadian Reformed Churches and the Free Reformed Churches of Australia have not had this problem. [1]. Of the 63 active ministers in our churches, 12 will turn 65 in the next five years. (These are the first of the baby boom retirees.) That is nearly 20 percent of our preachers! As we note...

Christ, Church and Culture. Thursday, August 26, 2010. Kevin DeYoung has just posted his version of a Screwtape Letter, and I think he has done an excellent job. For those who don't know, the Screwtape Letters. Is a book written by C.S. Lewis in which he writes as a demon uncle (Screwtape) giving advice and instruction to his demon nephew (Wormwood). Through writing this letter, DeYoung stresses the critical importance of committed church attendance and involvement. A Lost Letter To Wormwood (Part 1).

Author Archives: Jeremy de Haan. June 18, 2016. By Jeremy de Haan. Seeing as we knew months before school ended that I would not be entering the ministry, we had considered many possibilities for what to do. Did we want to move back “home” to BC? If we stayed in Ontario, did we want to stay in Hamilton? What did I want to do in the long term? Go back to woodworking? Fruitvale, nestled in the Selkirk Mountains, in a valley above the mighty river from which British Columbia gets its name. May 3, 2016.

https://sixteenseasons.wordpress.com/2013/02/23/a-time-to-speak
A Time to Speak. February 23, 2013. By Jeremy de Haan. You don’t often meet many Canadian Reformed people who grow up to reject the faith altogether and become atheists. But apparently it does happen, and one of them decided to make a public statement about it. Mr. Chuck Eelhart wrote a piece over at exchristian.net, a site devoted to encouraging de-converting and former Christians. His article is called Why I left the Canadian Reformed Church.
