While in the Bahamas, I was having a debate with Mike DeVries about Reggie Bush and how he was on the take so to speak at USC. I was asked where the evidence was and as Dan Wetzel points out, it is piling up against Bush. The case against USC, like all similar cases involving [...]

Home
I got home to Saskatoon on Tuesday morning after spending Monday night at the Dash family compound in Toronto. While in T.O.

After some mechanical problems in Toronto, [...]

Is Canada becoming a country of bigots?
Maclean’s magazine wonders… Claude Bazinet, a tall man with a wild wisp of white hair, stood on nervous legs and, to a packed room with television cameras rolling, spewed forth his feelings on the immigrants coming to his native Quebec. He spoke of Quebec’s tiny Hasidic Jewish population who have “built houses on our land” [...]
Discipleship
Willow Creek admits to getting it wrong. In the Hawkins’ video he says, “Participation is a big deal. We believe the more people participating in these sets of activities, with higher levels of frequency, it will produce disciples of Christ.” This has been Willow’s philosophy of ministry in a nutshell. The church creates programs/activities. People [...]
