2 Peter 3:8–9 God’s patience has a purpose. Second Peter chapter 3 reminds us that what feels like delay to us is often an expression of God’s mercy. The Lord is not slow concerning His promise. He is patient because He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. God’s timing […]

Praying in the Name of Jesus – An Ambassador’s Role
Matthew 18:19–20 “If two of you on earth agree to ask for anything, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in my name, there I am among them.” When Jesus says “in my name,” He is not giving us a magic […]
Smudges on Your Lens?
Today, a friend used a sound bite from the song “The Best Is Yet to Come” by North Point Worship in a short reel; the lyrics really stood out to me. You can read the lyrics below. They reflect my unwavering belief that we’re meant to go from glory to glory; resisting a persistent perspective […]

As he strolled down a crowded sidewalk, he bumped into a sandwich board that advertised a cafe that promised nutritious, delicious, and tantalizing food at a […]
A Tale of Two Outreaches – Love Trumps Fear
In my early twenties, I took part in two short-term outreaches within a couple of months of each other. The first outreach was to a remote area of Canada, about 9 hours northwest of where I was living at the time. I am deliberately vague as to the exact location to protect the identities of […]
Joyfully Proclaim The Gospel This Christmas Season!
Do you find evangelism intimidating? Christmas is the perfect opportunity to witness without feeling a drop of intimidation or fear. I love many things about Christmas, and most of those things centre on the remarkable opportunity we have to sing God’s praises wherever we go. A thrill runs up my spine when I hear the […]
Who are You Representing and to Whom?
Just who are you representing and to whom? Good questions to ask! 2 Corinthians 5:17 is a favourite of most Christians because it talks about our identity in Christ – but what if it’s not all about us? I invite you to watch my latest YouTube video! It’s all about reconciliation, seeing others through the […]
