Music as the fingerprints of God (6 min)
George Steiner here is lecturing on the wonder of music and is not trying to argue that music points us to God. But he does believe it points us beyond materialism – our response to music shows that we are more than what we are made of.
“[Music] speaks to us that there is something else which, paradoxically, belongs to us profoundly but somehow touches on a universal meaning and possibility that we are not only an electrochemical and neuro-physiological assemblage; that there is more in consciousness than electronic wiring.”
Evolution can’t explain eggs
This is a bit of a technical one, but even if you get only the gist, you’ll understand just how amazing the seemingly simplest things around us really are. It’s only because we take God’s engineering for granted that we can overlook the wonder that is an egg shell.
Evolution has to explain how they could come to be in some step-by-step evolutionary process? As if.
Trudeau is gone, so who is going to replace him?
The Liberals are about to run a leadership campaign, but have this worry:
“One of the key concerns that is out there is that the party could be prone to something approaching a takeover, or could be prone to a lot of people who don’t give a hoot about the Liberal party who might be termed single-interest activists signing up and having a very real impact on the selection of our next leader.”
Is anyone plotting a pro-life takeover? Should we be?
Abortion was the leading cause of death worldwide in 2024. And it wasn’t even close.
45 million unborn babies were aborted last year – so relayed Jonathon Van Maren. That number is more than the population of all of Canada.
In the US abortion accounts for 60% of all African American deaths.
To put this number in a different context, COVID killed approximately 7 million in total over 4 years and in response we shut down the world. Six times more die each year from abortion and no notice is paid.
Who will stand up for the unborn? Will you? Will any politician? Will you vote for a politician who won’t?
The danger of being a sermon critic
As Tim Challies explains, if you focus on what you think should have been there, you run the risk of missing the fruit that is there.
Amazing information packed inside you (12 min)
This video makes the point your DNA coding is more incredible than even the most complicated computer code, but it also kind of reduces us to just that information…. as if we could make a human if we only managed this same level of programming. So, as you watch, recall that we are more than our matter, being both body and an immaterial, eternal soul.
