Banner of Truth Trust General Articles
The link will take you to a written account of sermons preached at the Banner 2000 Ministers' Conference. You simply must scroll down and read the three articles by Stuart Olyott on preaching. I have heard Stuart on several occasions and he remains one of my most admired preachers.

Every parent's nightmare | Death, the Beaches and Regent Park

“Sometimes when we touch
The honesty’s too much”
Such were the epic words of a song I could never quite figure by Dan Hill. I was 11 when it was released and I remember a few sisters enthralled with the Canadian singer/songwriter.
Hill has written an autobiographical account of his family's involvment with Eric Boateng, the young man shot outside a local jail in 2007.
My interest in this story is on several levels. First, the sheer drama of how one family without Christ tries to handle a bad family problem. Second, the connection to the Beaches and Licks, two of my favorite haunts as a High School student in the early 80's. And third, the connection to Regent Park. I will be driving right beside that neighbourhood tomorrow morning (today!) and hope I pray for it like I try to do every time I pass by.

Ecclesiophilist: Concerning Announcements
This was a pretty witty little ditty! Read the whole thing....
Ecclesiophilist: Concerning Announcements:
A Sample: "Earnestly desire such announcements, but especially that you may read the bulletin. Announcements are of some value but the bulletin is greater. For now we announce in part and we know in part. But the bulletin gives full and detailed information so that your knowledge of ministry happenings may be complete. One who makes an announcement edifies a particular ministry. But the bulletin edifies the whole church. So then my brethren, listen to the announcements but do not neglect the bulletin."
