Biblical roots of NCD principles: NCD - the Biblical perspective
http://ncdbiblical.blogspot.com/2011/04/ncd-biblical-perspective.html
Wednesday, April 27, 2011. NCD - the Biblical perspective. Since 2005 I have been administering and coaching the balanced approach to church health through applying the eight quality characteristics as outlined by the Natural Church Development. However, my personal recent discovery of a new Biblical dimension added to my passion about this objective paradigm to church wellbeing. In March of 2007 I was on the plane, flying to Russia at the request of the Zaokski Adventist Seminary. It matched the eight q...

Where Healing Begins | Look North
https://looknorth.wordpress.com/2009/03/08/where-healing-begins
Fixing our eyes on Jesus. March 8, 2009. Posted by dan snyder in Bible - Meditation. Some people wish they could rewind life and go back to the spot where things went wrong to fix them. Some people think that “healing” involves returning life to the way it was. This isn’t healing, it’s nostalgia. Some people simply substitute “holding onto the pain of the past” for living in the present. Personality 1: The Crowd – they didn’t see the need for healing in the man or in their community. Repentance: Close th...

Fixing our eyes on Jesus. Conversing with a Dangerous God. April 2, 2009. Posted by dan snyder in Bible: Old Testament. The Raft of the Medusa. Even a cursory reading of the Biblical Prophets uncovers some rather bold and stark images for God. My notion is that the degree of this boldness is proportional to the degree of spiritual blindness in those first hearers. Flannery O’Connor. 8220;Go and tell this people: “‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding;. Be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’. Looking ...

Refelctions from Mythic Palestine – Part 2 | Look North
https://looknorth.wordpress.com/2010/09/30/refelctions-from-mythic-palestine-part-2
Fixing our eyes on Jesus. Refelctions from Mythic Palestine – Part 2. September 30, 2010. Posted by dan snyder in art. I asked a jailor on the western shore: are you the son of my old jailor? He replied: Father died years ago laid low with the boredom or guarding. He left me his profession and told me to guard the town against your songs. I said: how long have you been surveying me and imprisoning yourself? He replied: since you wrote your first one. I said: but you weren’t born yet! A Myth at Work.

Songs of Bethlehem | Look North
https://looknorth.wordpress.com/2010/01/29/songs-of-bethlehem
Fixing our eyes on Jesus. January 29, 2010. Posted by dan snyder in art. There’s a little town next to Bethlehem. Where the houses come down at the stroke of a pen. Still the singers sing and the children dance. In the streets with joy. And when rockets glare where the angels sang. That the hope of the world was coming to reign. There’s a bell that rings with a hope that sings. So sing me the songs of the poor and the weak. Feed me their bread, wake me up from my sleep. In these jars of clay. Teach me th...

Fixing our eyes on Jesus. Reflections from Mythic Palestine. April 29, 2010. Posted by dan snyder in art. There is no nation smaller than its poem. But weapons make words too big for the living. And the dead who inhabit the living. And letters make the sword on the dawn’s belt glitter. Til the desert becomes parched for songs or drowns in them. Poem exerpts from Mural by Mahmoud Darwish (1942-2008)]. I was recently browsing through the 1905 edition of the reports of the International Sunday-school Conven...

Wonder Beyond Fear | Look North
https://looknorth.wordpress.com/2009/04/18/wonder-beyond-fear
Fixing our eyes on Jesus. April 18, 2009. Posted by dan snyder in Christianity. Tags: postmodern christian church wonder. Scientific Discovery Through Visualization. When wonder is missing from a church and by ‘church’ I include those people within who participate in the life of faith there are at least three consequences I have observed. I agree that the older you get, the more it takes to fill your heart with wonder. And I also believe only God is big enough to fill that void. Once the God of Wonders b...
