“Experience is a hard teacher because it gives the exam first and the lesson second.”

Charitable status for churches in Canada is a big conversation in some circles right now. I reached out to the Burlington MP about it asking for something I could share with our @crcna churches, and received this reply: docs.google.com/document/d/1dl…

We sent this letter about MAID on behalf of the @CRCNA & @cpublicdialogue in June (after #crcsynod met) to the new Canadian Minister of Health, with the same letter also going to the new Minister of Justice.

My parents bought a brand new computer, and I immediately installed this game from a friend...which included a massive bootloader virus. Parents were not impressed.

Could we design an AI bot that will intentionally waste the time of spammers on our behalf?

@PostmaAlbert @PaulVanderKlay What was the first? (With apologies if this was mentioned—I’m about a day behind on the livestream…)

"The second most influential edition of the Banner," according to @PaulVanderKlay at #crcsynod, was the Bananer from 1970. drive.google.com/file/d/0BxdI6W…

I often hear questions about the structure of the @CRCNA. If that's something you're curious about, here's a video outlining the structure (it doesn't address everything but does get at the organizational side of things). youtu.be/a6WuGdSICh0

I do so love a passive aggressive sign.

Just sent out 2nd edition of the "Postma Post." To read the whole thing, including the first one on Trust: crcna.org/Canada/postma-…

Hold up. Things are changing before my very eyes.

Given how long it took to get to 26%, I'll probably be working from my phone for the rest of the morning.

#Advent marks the beginning of a new year and is day one in Seeking God's Face, written & compiled by @PhilReinders. Daily readings also available at seekinggodsface.org Maybe, for you, this is a way to cultivate the rhythm of pausing and dwelling in Scripture this year.

At classis meeting, intro of person for exam includes "and he teaches Gaelic." Sermon evaluator: "I'm sorry to hear he knows Gaelic. My original report was actually written in Gaelic but I figured I should translate it to English. Now I realize I did all that work for nothing."

@MasonSCraig Very nice to see! For more (including the one you shared!), check this out: crcna.org/resources/chur…

We had an awesome responsive reading this evening that I've never seen before! The minister would read one of the ten commandments, and the congregation would respond with a NT passage related to the command.
