D.H Lawrence once said, “If only we could have two lives. The first in which to make mistakes…and the second in which to profit by them.” That would of course be nice, but unfortunately we only have one life; one chance; one opportunity. Thankfully, God doesn’t just say, “Go and figure it out.” He actually […]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Lights are appearing outside homes. The malls are decorated brighter and bigger than ever. And yet, I can’t help but notice how Christ has become separated from Christmas in the eyes of most. I am always struck by this as I notice the line up of Christmas […]

October 13, 2010 will go down in history as the completion date for the greatest underground rescue operation ever accomplished—the Chilean Miners Rescue. Thirty-three miners were safely rescued after spending 69 days more than half a kilometre below the ground. This true story has now inspired the making of the recently released movie “The 33.” […]

There is within every human heart a longing for peace. Many search for peace but never find it. Some look for it in their job. Others look for it in a relationship. Some look for it in power, pleasure, or money. But all those things don’t bring lasting peace because they aren’t meant to. But, […]

I re-discovered some magnets today that had been tucked away behind some books on my shelf. I couldn’t of course resist the opportunity to play with them. They are heavy-duty magnets. I held one firmly in my hand and lined it up with the same pole of the other magnet, and it repelled it a […]

God sees your faith. That might not come as a surprise to you, because He is omnipotent after all. But, have you ever wondered how God sees your faith? There’s an account in the gospel of Mark that sheds some light on this. One day Jesus was preaching to the people in someone’s house and […]
