hate the sin

Last updated on: August 28, 2012 at 7:50 am By David Hayward

There are just so many problems with that idea I can’t even try to begin! For example… right off the bat homosexuality, never mind homosexual activity, is a sin. But more than that, it attempts to draw a line between the person and his or her state of being, his or her life. It fragments the person, which is violence. What if heterosexuality was a sin? How could one say, “We love you as a person, but we hate heterosexual... Read more

draw close to God

Last updated on: August 27, 2012 at 6:37 am By David Hayward

This is a silly cartoon I drew some time ago that someone reminded me about yesterday. I couldn’t believe how popular it was. So I thought I would put it up again. I hope you like the tongue-in-cheek cheesiness of it. Oh… God told me to tell you to join davidhayward.ca TODAY!! He must have good reasons! I’m setting up a forum there that I hope should be running later today 🙂 I’m opening my new online store. You could... Read more

deafening

Last updated on: August 26, 2012 at 6:45 am By David Hayward

Honestly, you can pretend to hear from God and it will work for you and for those you tell. More than that, you can actually believe you hear from God and that is even more powerful and convincing. You can believe anything you want and the world will rush in to substantiate it. We need to realize that this happens. Have you read Endo’s “Silence”? If not, you should. It’s a powerful and honest writing about the silence of God.... Read more

companionship in the storms

Last updated on: August 25, 2012 at 8:08 am By David Hayward

The rain does fall. The wind does blow. But at least we’re together. And somehow this makes it not only easier, because it turns it into something that brings joy and makes me stronger. Even wiser. I’m glad you’re with me. I know I could do it alone. I’ve done it before. I’ll do it again. But you’re with me now, and your presence brings me peace. We have no idea how long this storm will last. But we’ve got... Read more

exorcising the question

Last updated on: August 23, 2012 at 7:44 am By David Hayward

I’ve attended a lot of exorcisms. I’ve seen a lot of very strange human behavior. Questions are very important to me. They are crucial for wisdom and spiritual health. Ask them! Purchase the original drawing, or get a print of this cartoon! Read more

some feel the rain

Last updated on: August 22, 2012 at 8:07 pm By David Hayward

Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet. (Bob Marley) When I heard this beautiful little quote the other day it inspired me to paint another crow in the rain. This one is atop an old birch tree and the rain is falling straight down on him. Actually the crow is a huge spiritual symbol in my life. My love for them came first. It also caused me to become reflective and wonder how well I handle discomfort. Purchase... Read more

what i mean about miracles

Last updated on: August 22, 2012 at 5:29 pm By David Hayward

Yesterday I wrote a hasty and blunt post to go along with a graphic cartoon of a girl in a wheelchair with a t-shirt that says, I believed in miracles. It received lots of attention and comments. On my other site, davidhayward.ca the comments are even more revealing and telling. But I owe an apology. My good wife Lisa, who is much wiser than I, pointed out to me that the post felt negative and seemed to denounce miracles and... Read more

Todd Bentley and the UK

Last updated on: August 22, 2012 at 12:38 pm By David Hayward

This is in reference to yesterday’s story. Is Todd Bentley my brother? Yes! Am I his? Yes! Do I agree with him? No! Does he agree with me? Probably not, especially after this cartoon. But I imagine he and his team might actually like the cartoon… like, “Ya! Kick that ol’ UK back to when it believed in God! It does need to be healed!” But the intent of this cartoon is slightly different, as in poking fun at his... Read more

Last updated on: August 21, 2012 at 8:58 am By David Hayward

I remember publishing this post, “I’ve Never Seen a Miracle”, and it wasn’t long after that I felt it was time to leave the ministry. A pivotal time in my life. It’s difficult but liberating to admit the facts. For some real heart-to-heart sharing over this issue, join the rest of us over at davidhayward.
