The Gray Haven’s High Enough (4 min)

The first story, history, told with tempo, beauty too – something special that’ll have even rap and poetry haters take notice.

Have you lost your ability to think deeply?

“In 12 Ways Your Phone Is Changing You, Tony Reinke writes, ‘God has given us the power of concentration in order for us to see and avoid what is false, fake, and transient — so that we may gaze directly at what is true, stable, and eternal.’ As our ability to concentrate is eroded by cheap entertainment, so too is our ability to discern truth and focus on what has eternal value. We’re wasting God’s precious gift.”

So what can be done?

Apologetics without apologizing

Christians sometimes fall for our own bad press – the world paints us as simpletons for believing God’s Word, and then we encourage their insult by acting as if God’s Word is something to be ashamed of, when we never reference it in the public square.

But the fact is, “Christianity is the most accurate account of reality and therefore worthy of our saying so.”

Solar and wind power are expensive

The push for renewable energy doubled the cost of electricity in Ontario from 2005 to 2020, though the government hid some of those cost increases by paying for them. But that just meant taxpayers were going to be on the hook for them another way. And Germany, a renewable energy leader, is paying twice that. On a sunny, windy day, their solar and wind provides almost 70% of what their country needs, but on a dark, windless day, less than 4%.

This is an article by a gay atheist who believes global warming is happening and man has a role. And he’s still questioning what we’re doing in our push for expensive unreliable renewables.

Families parenting together

God blessed us with like-minded Christian neighbors who were a few years ahead of us in parenting and we’ve been able to learn from their example, and share our own practices with them as well. This author makes the case that this is a blessing worth seeking out!

Bonhoeffer’s theory of stupidity

The German theologian thought that it is more dangerous for a nation to be stupid than wicked. The application is as suitable to our day as it was in Nazi Germany.

“In his famous letters from prison, Bonhoeffer argued that stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice, because while ‘one may protest against evil; it can be exposed and prevented by the use of force, against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here. Reasons fall on deaf ears.’”
