The Party Ship, HMCS Sunny Ways, left Montreal harbour for Ottawa on October 19, 2015, amid confetti and balloons, smiles all around, and a bold announcement that “Canada is back!” after 8 years of Canada being steered by the warship HMCS Cold and Competent. Our Captain at the helm of the new party ship wasContinue reading “It Is Well With My Soul”

Speaking of the Fires
I read somewhere recently that when one finds themselves in a culture war (which we currently are), that the one thing (among a few) that we should avoid at all costs is to look like opportunists.

Of the Heart
This past week, like most of you who don’t live under a rock may have discovered, a country artist named (Chris) Oliver Anthony wrote and sang a song called “Rich Men North of Richmond”, a clear reference to Washington, D.C.

What Should Our Christian Posture to the World Be?
In an episode of Life and Books and Everything last May, Kevin DeYoung read from the article he wrote for WORLD Opinions on seven principles for cultivating a Christian posture toward the world. I found these last two points particularly helpful to think through, especially as we navigate the year ahead: #6 Approach cultural andContinue reading “What Should Our Christian Posture to the World Be?”
Great Reset Source Material
A lot of us are wondering lately, where is this all going? Who is steering the ship? Who gets to say what happens next, or what other restrictions get put in place? Of course, as Christians, our ultimate allegiance is to the Lord himself, but it’s helpful to know and be able to anticipate whatContinue reading “Great Reset Source Material”

🎁 Looking for the perfect gift to give your loved ones? 🎁 Imagine if you could wrap and present them with an entire box of a year’s worth of answered – and perhaps mercifully unanswered? – prayers. While our material focus can sometimes be overdrawn to stockings, mistletoe, decorations, The Perfect Gift List, and impressingContinue reading “Books on Prayer (not to be confused with “prayer books”)”
